Favorites from Dhammapada
I am posting my favorite verses from Dhammapada. You post your favorite verses as reply and continue the thread...
Regard him as one, who points out treasure,
the wise one who seeing your faults rebukes you.
Stay with this sort of sage
For the one who stays with the sage of this sort,
things get better, not worse. - Chapter 6, The Wise
Nithya

~Greater in combat
Than a person who conquers
A thousand times a thousand people
Is the person who conquers herself/ himself.~

~ The mind, hard to control,
Flighty - alighting where it wishes -
One does well to tame.
The disciplined mind brings happiness. ~

~Whatever an enemy may do to an enemy,
Or haters one to another,
Far worse is the harm
From one's own wrongly directed mind. ~

Guard against anger erupting in your mind;
Be restrained with your mind.
Letting go of mental misconduct,
)Practice good conduct with your mind.

Irrigators guide water;
Fletchers shape arrows;
Carpenters fashion wood;
The well practised tame themselves.

Night is long for one lying awake.
Seven miles is long for one exhausted.
Samsara is long for fools
Ignorant of true Dharma.

A deed is good
That one doesn't regret having done,
That results in joy
And delight.

Sorrow falls away
Like drops of water from a lotis
For anyone who overcomes this miserable craving
and clinging to the world.

~The gift of Dharma surpasses all gifts,
The taste of Dharma surpasses all tastes.
The delight in Dharma surpasses all delights.
The destruction of craving conquers all suffering~
