A benefit given to the good is like characters engraven on a stone; a benefit given to the evil is like a line drawn on water.
As one might nurse a tiny flame, The able and far-seeing man, E?en with the smallest capital, Can raise himself to wealth.
If you injure a harmless person, the evil will fall back upon you, like light dust thrown up against the wind.
Neither live with a bad man nor be at enmity with him; even as if you take hold of glowing charcoal it will burn you, if you take hold of cold charcoal it will soil you.
Root out the love of self, as you might the autumn lotus with your hand.
The pure in heart, who fear to sin, The good, kindly in word and deed? These are the beings in the world Whose nature should be called divine.
