Speak only endearing speech, speech that is welcomed. Speech, when it brings no evil to others, is a pleasant thing.

Just as a solid rock is not shaken by the storm, even so the wise are not affected by praise or blame.

Purity and impurity depend on oneself; no one can purify another.

A noble one produces an abundance of merit by having a compassionate mind towards all living beings.

If with a pure mind a person speaks or acts, happiness follows them like a never-departing shadow.

Those who cling to perceptions and views wander the world offending people.

Whoever doesn’t flare up at someone who’s angry wins a battle hard to win.

Radiate boundless love towards the entire world — above, below, and across — unhindered, without ill will, without enmity.

Should someone do good, let them do it again and again. They should develop this habit, for the accumulation of goodness brings joy.
