More from Dhammapada (Max Müller)

All that we are is the result of what we have thought: it is founded on our thoughts, it is made up of our thoughts. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him.
— Dhammapada 2 (Müller)Buddhist
For hatred does not cease by hatred at any time: hatred ceases by love, this is an old rule.
— Dhammapada 5 (Müller)Buddhist
By rousing himself, by earnestness, by restraint and control, the wise man may make for himself an island which no flood can overwhelm.
— Dhammapada 25 (Müller)Buddhist
It is good to tame the mind, which is difficult to hold in and flighty, rushing wherever it listeth; a tamed mind brings happiness.
— Dhammapada 35 (Müller)Buddhist
