"Just as a bee, without harming the flower, its color or its fragrance, takes a little nectar and flies away, so too should the sage wander in a village."

"A jug fills drop by drop."

"He who has renounced all violence towards all living beings, weak or strong, who neither kills nor causes others to kill — him I call a holy man."

"It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways."

"Conquer anger with non-anger. Conquer badness with goodness. Conquer meanness with generosity. Conquer dishonesty with truth."
