If you light a lamp for somebody, it will also brighten your path.
Speak the truth. Give whatever you can. Never be angry. These three steps will lead you Into the presence of the gods.
Learn this from water: loud splashes the brook but the oceans depth are calm.
Inner freedom is not guided by our efforts; it comes from seeing what is true.
Therefore, be ye lamps unto yourselves, be ye a refuge to yourselves. Hold fast to the truth as a lamp; hold fast as a refuge to the truth. Look not for refuge to anyone besides yourselves.
The gift of truth excels all other gifts.
Believe nothing just because a so-called wise person said it. Believe nothing just because a belief is generally held. Believe nothing just because it is said in ancient books. Believe nothing just because it is said to be of divine origin. Believe nothing just because someone else believes it. Believe only what you yourself test and judge to be true.
There are three things that cannot long be hidden: the sun, the moon and the truth.
Just as gold is burnt, cut and rubbed, Examine my words carefully and Do not accept them simply out of respect
The worlds originate so that truth may come and dwell therein.
Three things can not hide for long: the Moon, the Sun and the Truth.
The gift of the Truth beats all other gifts. The flavour of the Truth beats all other tastes. The joy of the Truth beats all other joys, and the cessation of desire conquers all suffering
