Friedrich Max Muller
 In the body restraint is good, good is restraint in speech, in thought restraint is good, good is restraint in all things. |
| Into whose conquest no one in this world enters, by what track can you lead him, the Awakened, the Omniscient, the trackless? |
| Is there in this world any man so restrained by humility that he does not mind reproof, as a well-trained horse the whip? |
| It is better to live alone, there is no companionship with a fool. |
| It is hard to leave the world (to become a friar), it is hard to enjoy the world; hard is the monastery, painful are the houses; painful it is to dwell with equals (to share everything in common), and the itinerant mendicant is beset with pain. |
| Keep noble friends whose life is pure, and who are not slothful. |
| Kinsmen, friends, and lovers salute a man who has been long away, and returns safe from afar. |
| Knowing that this body is (fragile) like a jar, and making this thought firm like a fortress, one should attack the tempter with the weapon of knowledge, one should watch him when conquered, and should never rest. |
| Language is the Rubicon that divides man from beast. |
| Leaving all pleasures behind, and calling nothing his own, the wise man should purge himself from all the troubles of the mind. |
| Leaving one's home is the same as becoming a mendicant, without a home or family. |
| Let a fool month after month eat his food (like an ascetic) with the tip of a blade of grass, yet he is not worth the sixteenth particle of those who have well weighed the law. |
| Let a man but keep these three roads of action clear, and he will achieve the way which is taught by the wise. |
| Let a man leave anger, let him forsake pride, let him overcome all bondage! No sufferings befall the man who is not attached to name and form, and who calls nothing his own. |
| Let a man overcome anger by love, let him overcome evil by good. |
