The mind is excitable and unsteady; it is difficult to control and restrain. The wise one trains his mind to be upright as a Fletcher straightens an arrow.

Sole dominion over the earth, going to heaven, lordship over all the worlds: the fruit of stream-entry excels them.

The mind is difficult to control; swiftly and lightly, it moves and lands wherever it pleases. It is good to tame the mind, for a well-tamed mind brings happiness.

Mind is the forerunner of states. Mind is chief; mind-made are they. If one speaks or acts with a wicked mind, because of that, suffering follows one, even as the wheel follows the hoof of the ox. If one speaks or acts with a pure mind, because of that, happiness follows one, even as one’s shadow that never leaves.

A man may conquer a million of men in battle, but one who conquers himself is, indeed the greatest of conquerors.
