"Whosoever, O Mazda, does not serve thee with the word, him I shall deliver into the hand of the wicked; for him shall be woe, and long punishment."

"The poet of Thy praise, I call myself, O Mazda!"

"He who comes to know me through my thought, and through my word and deed, he shall become a sharer in the good reward."

"The wise choose the best, the unwise choose the worst."

"Evil is connected to lie or drûj. The Avestan word drûj means literally 'a tangle of trickery, deceit and lies.' Evil is what is not original and real."
