In the end we retain from our studies only that which we practically apply.
— Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother.
'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.
To support mother and father, to cherish partner and children, and to be engaged in peaceful occupation — this is the greatest blessing.
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.
