He who can curb his wrath as soon as it arises, as a timely antidote will check snake’s venom that so quickly spreads — such a monk gives up the here and the beyond, just as a serpent sheds its worn-out skin.

A man is not called wise because he talks and talks again. But if he is peaceful, loving, and fearless, then he is in truth called wise.

Hatred is never appeased by hatred in this world. By non-hatred alone is hatred appeased. This is a law eternal.
