The Dhammapada (Excerpt)
All that we are is a result of what we have thought
If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought
Happiness follows him
Like a shadow that never leaves him
Hatred ceases by love
The world does not know that we must come to an end here
But those who know it
Their quarrels cease at once
He who lives for pleasures only
Will be overthrown my Mara
He who lives without looking for pleasures
His senses well controlled
Moderate in his food
Faithful in strong
Passion will not break through
A well reflected mind
The virtuous man
Delights in this world
The virtuous man is happy in this world
He is happy when he thinks of the good he has done
