Lead me from the unreal to the real! Lead me from darkness to light! Lead me from death to immortality! +
Learning clears the mind, and ignorance cobwebs it. +
Let a man overcome anger by love, evil by good, greediness by liberality, lie by truth. +
Let every action be done with perfect gravity, humanity, freedom, and justice, and perform it as though that action were your last. +
Let every man first become himself that which he teaches others to be. +
Let no bitterness find entrance into the heart of a mother. +
Let not a man, even though pained, be sour-tempered, nor devise a deed of mischief to another. +
Let one who would live in the memory of his fellow men, make every day fruitful by generosity, study, and noble arts. +
Let the wise think on wisdom as unfading and immortal; let him fulfil his duty as though Death grasped him by the hair. +
Let your soul work in harmony with the universal intelligence, as your breath does with the air. +
Life is built up by the sacrifice of the individual to the whole. Each cell in the living body must sacrifice itself to the perfection of the whole; when it is otherwise, disease and death enforce the lesson. +
Life moves in a very narrow compass; yes, and men live in a small corner of the world too. +
Like a beautiful flower, full of color, but without scent, are the fine but fruitless words of him who does not act accordingly. +
Like an earthen vessel, easy to break, hard to reunite, are the wicked; the good are like vessels of gold, hard to break and quickly united. +
Like as the night follows the day, so misfortune is the shadow of joy; Karma bestowing her lots with both hands. +
Like moonbeams trembling on water, truly such is the life of mortals. Knowing this, let duty be performed. +
Like oil, truth often floats on the surface of the lie. Like clear water, truth often underlies the seeming falsehood. +
Living for ages in the night-realm, we dream that our darkness is full day. +
Man consists of desires. And as is his desire, so is his will; and as is his will, so is his deed; and whatever deed he does, that he will reap. +
Man contains three kinds of evil: the evil caused by his (lower) nature; the evil done by man to man; and the evil caused by man to himself. +
