        Mind is the forerunner of all actions.
        All deeds are led by mind, created by mind.
        If one speaks or acts with corrupt mind, suffering follows,
        As the wheel follows the hoof of an ox pulling a cart. - The Dhammapada',

        Mind is the forerunner of all actions.
        All deeds are led by mind, created by mind.
        If one speaks or acts with a serene mind, happiness follows,

        By oneself the evil is done, by oneself one suffers.

        The wise one makes straight
        The trembling, fickle mind
        So hard to guard, so hard to control,
        As the fletcher makes straight the arrow. - The Dhammapada',

        The mind is hard to restrain, light,
        Flying where it will.

        Whatever an enemy can do to an enemy,
        Or a rival to a rival,
        A wrongly directed mind
        Will do worse to you than that. - The Dhammapada',

        What mother or father can do,
        Or any other kin,
        A rightly directed mind
        Will do better for you than that. - The Dhammapada',

        The Learner will conquer this earth,
        And this world of Yama with its gods.
        The Learner will pluck the well-taught word of Dhamma
        As a skilled one plucks a flower. - The Dhammapada',

        '
        Like a beautiful flower,
        Colourful but scentless,
        The well-taught word is fruitless
        For one who does not practise. - The Dhammapada'
