Know how to live the time that is given you.
Sages do not accumulate for themselves. The more they give to others, the more they possess of their own. The way of Heaven is to benefit others and not to injure.
Watch your thoughts, they become words. Watch your words, they become actions. Watch your actions, they become habit.
Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner.
If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken all of yourself, if you want to eliminate the suffering in the world, then eliminate all that is negative in yourself. Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation.
Success is as dangerous as failure. Hope is as hollow as fear. What does it mean that success is a dangerous as failure? Whether you go up the ladder or down it, you position is shaky. When you stand with your two feet on the ground, you will always keep your balance. What does it mean that hope is as hollow as fear? Hope and fear are both phantoms that arise from thinking of the self. When we don't see the self as self, what do we have to fear? See the world as your self. Have faith in the way things are. Love the world as your self; then you can care for all things.
Those who know do not talk. Those who talk do not know.
The plain fact is that if you don't have a problem, you create one. If you don't have a problem you don't feel that you are living.
For what it's worth, I've been a hip-hopper from birth. Try to disrespect, and get your ass played up like a Smurf.
The beauty of every experience you have is that hopefully you'll learn something from it.
No pleasure has any savor for me without communication.
