If you see the soul in every human being, you see truly. If you see immortality in the heart of every mortal being, you see truly.

As a boat on the water can be swept away off course by a strong wind, so the intelligence may be carried away by any of the roaming senses on which the mind alights.

Cheerful patience is required both for naughty children and your own mind.

What we cultivate in times of ease, we store up to support us in times of change.
