Train yourself in doing good
that lasts and brings happiness.
Cultivate generosity, the life of peace,
and a mind of boundless love.

Ittivuttuka 16

The past should not be followed after
and the future not desired;
what is past is dead and gone
and the future is yet to come.

Majjhima Nikaya III, 131

Life is swept along,
next-to-nothing its span.
For one swept to old age
no shelters exist.
Perceiving this danger in death,
one should drop the world's bait
and look for peace.

Samyutta Nikaya II, 19

O Daughter of Heaven, to you I direct my hymn like a precious offering. Accept it, O Night, as a paean of praise.

Rig Veda X, 127, 8

Having killed anger you sleep in ease. Having killed anger you do not grieve. The noble ones praise the slaying of anger -- with its honeyed crest & poison root -- for having killed it you do not grieve.

Samyutta Nikaya II, 70

Hate brings great misfortune, hate churns up and harms the mind; this fearful danger deep within most people do not understand.

Itivuttaka 84
