Zoroaster

Seek your happiness in the happiness of all.

War and courage have done more great things than charity. Not your sympathy, but your bravery has saved the unfortunate.

Always meet petulance with gentleness and perverseness with kindness.

That which is good for all and any one, For whomsoever- that is good for me. . . What I hold good for self, I should for all. Only Law Universal is true law.

Do not lose joy in life as you grow old in years. Let not your joie de vivre be crushed under the weight of years.

In the beginning there were two primal spirits, Twins spontaneously active, These are the Good and the Evil, in thought, and in word, and in deed. Between these two, let the wise choose aright. Be good, not base!

For he who looks upon evil with tolerance is no other than evil himself.

I shall be master of my own destiny.

Lovingly, O Ahura, I pray to You who are the most excellent, and in harmony with utmost Righteousness.

I try, O Mazda, through the radiance of wisdom to know You. You who are the creator of existence.

Oh Mazda, I shall reveal your message to the seekers of knowledge. And shall tell them that the destiny of a false doer is pain. And the destiny of a righteous doer is happiness.

In the radiance of righteousness, we shall learn self-knowledge and righteous thinking.

I am aware of my weakness, grant me the affection which a lover in the radiance of righteousness.

May we be those who shall heal this world.

He who upholds Truth with all the might of his power, He who upholds Truth the utmost in his word and deed, He, indeed, is Thy most valued helper, O Mazda Ahura!

He who abhors and shuns the light of the Sun, He who refuses to behold with respect the living creation of God, He who leads the good to wickedness, He who makes the meadows waterless and the pastures desolate, He who lets fly his weapon against the innocent, An enemy of my faith, a destroyer of Thy principles is he, O Lord!

Anyone in the world here below can win purity for himself, namely, when he cleanses himself with Good Thoughts, Good Words, and Good Deeds.

Contemplate the beams of fire with a most pious mind. Every one, both men and women, ought to-day to choose his creed.

Everything that is created was first a Thought.

Turn yourself not away from three best things: Good Thought, Good Word, and Good Deed.
