==Quotations==

<blockquote>"We are what we think.<br>
All that we are arises with our thoughts.<br>
With our thoughts we make the world.<br>
Speak or act with an impure mind<br>
And trouble will follow you<br>
As the wheel follows the ox that draws the cart.<br>
<br>
We are what we think.<br>
All that we are arises with our thoughts.<br>
With our thoughts we make the world.<br>
Speak or act with a pure mind<br>
And happiness will follow you<br>
As your shadow, unshakable.<br>
<br>
“Look how he abused me,<br>
How he threw me down and robbed me.”<br>
Live with such thoughts and you live in hate.<br>
<br>
“Look how he abused me,<br>
How he threw me down and robbed me.”<br>
Abandon such thoughts, and live in love.<br>
<br>
In this world<br>
Hate never yet dispelled hate.<br>
Only love dispels hate.<br>
This is the law,<br>
Ancient and inexhaustible."<ref>From the translation by Thomas Byrom, 1993</ref></blockquote>
