“All mental phenomena have mind as their forerunner. The mind is their leader. They are all mind-made. If one speaks or acts with a pure mind, happiness follows him like his shadow that never leaves him.”

“He who is not credulous, who has realised the Unconditioned, who has cut off the links of the round of rebirths, who has destroyed all causes (of good and bad karma) and has discarded all craving, is indeed the noblest of all men.”

“Do not associate with evil companions. Do not seek the fellowship of the vile. Associate with good friends. Seek the company of noble people.”
