"The wise ones who are intent on meditation, who delight in the peace of renunciation, such mindful ones, perfect in right understanding, cast off the net of Māra."

"The body, monks, is not self. If the body were the self, this body would not lend itself to dis-ease."

"If you find no one to support you on the spiritual path, walk alone. There is no companionship with the immature."

"If anything is worth doing, do it with all your heart."

"The fragrance of holiness travels even against the wind."
