Rời bỏ uế trược, khéo nghiêm trì giới luật, sống khắc kỷ và chân thật, người như thế mới xứng đáng mặc áo cà-sa.Kinh Pháp cú (Kệ số 10)
Hãy nhớ rằng, có đôi khi im lặng là câu trả lời tốt nhất.Đức Đạt-lai Lạt-ma XIV
Ý dẫn đầu các pháp, ý làm chủ, ý tạo; nếu với ý ô nhiễm, nói lên hay hành động, khổ não bước theo sau, như xe, chân vật kéo.Kinh Pháp Cú (Kệ số 1)
Sự thành công thật đơn giản. Hãy thực hiện những điều đúng đắn theo phương cách đúng đắn và vào đúng thời điểm thích hợp.
(Success is simple. Do what's right, the right way, at the right time.)Arnold H. Glasow
Đừng than khóc khi sự việc kết thúc, hãy mỉm cười vì sự việc đã xảy ra.
(Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened. )Dr. Seuss
Ví như người mù sờ voi, tuy họ mô tả đúng thật như chỗ sờ biết, nhưng ta thật không thể nhờ đó mà biết rõ hình thể con voi.Kinh Đại Bát Niết-bàn
Bậc trí bảo vệ thân, bảo vệ luôn lời nói, bảo vệ cả tâm tư, ba nghiệp khéo bảo vệ.Kinh Pháp Cú (Kệ số 234)
Kẻ thất bại chỉ sống trong quá khứ. Người chiến thắng là người học hỏi được từ quá khứ, vui thích với công việc trong hiện tại hướng đến tương lai.
(Losers live in the past. Winners learn from the past and enjoy working in the present toward the future. )Denis Waitley
