It only takes a single lamp to bring light to a valley that has been dark for a thousand years.

Just as water cools both good and bad and washes away all impurity and dust, 

in the same way you should develop thoughts of love for friend and foe alike,

and having reached perfection in love,

you will attain enlightenment

Develop the quiet even state of mind.

When praised by some 

and condemned by others,

free the mind from hate and pride 

and gently go your way in peace.

Nobody Knows But Me 

(adapted from the original)

There's a place I travel when I want to roam, and nobody knows it but me.

The roads don't go there and the signs stay home, and nobody knows it but me.

It's far, far away, and way, way afar, it's over the moon and the sea.

And wherever I'm going 

that's wherever I'll be,

And nobody knows it but me.

This above all:  to thine own self be true,

And it must follow, as the night the day,

Thou canst not then be false to any man

William Shakespeare        Hamlet
