What ought to be done is neglected, what ought not to be done is done; the desires of unruly, thoughtless people are always increasing.

Be not thoughtless, watch your thoughts!

Those who are in earnest do not die, those who are thoughtless are as if dead already.

They who are ashamed of what they ought not to be ashamed of, and are not ashamed of what they ought to be ashamed of, such men, embracing false doctrines enter the evil path.

Earnest among the thoughtless, awake among the sleepers.

Those who are slaves to passions, run down with the stream (of desires), as a spider runs down the web which he has made himself; when they have cut this, at last, wise people leave the world free from cares, leaving all affection behind.
