“There are three all-powerful evils: lust, anger and greed.”

“No virtue is equal to the good of others and no vice greater than hurting others.”

“There is no difference between knowledge and devotion. Both of them save the soul from the miseries of worldly life.”

“To follow the path of knowledge is to tread on the edge of a sword. Once you get into it, there is no escape.”

“There can be no happiness for a being nor can its mind know any peace even in a dream so long as it does not relinquish desire, which is an abode of sorrow.”

“Even your pity is like a blast of wind and the words you speak would strip a tree of its blossoms.”
