A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves.
'As I am, so are they; as they are, so am I.' Comparing others with oneself, do not kill nor cause others to kill.
Delight in heedfulness! Guard well your thoughts!
Speak only endearing speech, speech that is welcomed. Speech, when it brings no evil to others, is a pleasant thing.
The thing that is disliked by me is also disliked by others. Since I dislike this thing, how can I inflict it on someone else?
'As I am, so are these. As are these, so am I.' Drawing the parallel to yourself, neither kill nor get others to kill.
All tremble at violence; all fear death. Putting oneself in the place of another, one should not kill nor cause another to kill.
Ceasing to do evil, Cultivating the good, Purifying the heart: This is the teaching of the Buddhas.
Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.
