 To me this technical acceptation seems not applicable here, where we have to deal with the simplest moral precepts, and not with psychological niceties of Buddhist philosophy. |
| Trust is the best of relationships, Nirvâna the highest happiness. |
| Victory breeds hatred, for the conquered is unhappy. |
| Walking naked and the other things mentioned in our verse are outward signs of a saintly life. |
| Watching his speech, well restrained in mind, let a man never commit any wrong with his body! |
| We shall be like the bright gods, feeding on happiness! |
| What ought to be done is neglected, what ought not to be done is done; the desires of unruly, thoughtless people are always increasing. |
| Whatever a hater may do to a hater, or an enemy to an enemy, a wrongly-directed mind will do us greater mischief. |
| Whatever place a faithful, virtuous, celebrated, and wealthy man chooses, there he is respected. |
| When the evil deed, after it has become known, brings sorrow to the fool, then it destroys his bright lot, nay, it cleaves his head. |
| Whether touched by happiness or sorrow wise people never appear elated or depressed. |
| Who shall find out the plainly shown path of virtue, as a clever man finds out the (right) flower? |
| Who shows what is to be avoided, and administers reproofs, follow that wise man; it will be better, not worse, for those who follow him. |
| Wise people do not call that a strong fetter which is made of iron, wood, or hemp; far stronger is the care for precious stones and rings, for sons and a wife. |
| Wise people, after they have listened to the laws, become serene, like a deep, smooth, and still lake. |
