Any time you don't want to overindulge, don't overindulge

and if you do want to overindulge... I abstain from advising.

Being sanctified is being at least somewhat clean.

I know you're not calling me weak, because it would be highly weak of you to do so.

 Neither of us are weak.

Be strong enough to ignore people who call you weak.

You're too perfect to try to be perfect.

I tolerate my own suffering. It's just a vicissitude!

We must tolerate disrespect.

 You're never going to get everyone to respect anyone. You can try, but tolerate failure in this respect.

Nobody's selfish, and it takes an unselfish person to realize that.

It is not evil to not call others evil.

It is useful to not call anyone useless.

It is unselfish to not call someone selfish!!

If you meet a monk on the side of the road who said, "If you meet the Buddha on the side of the ride, kill him," kill him.

 But also the Buddha.

Sobriety is a kind of wealth.

You don't have to prove that you're nice, nor do you have to prove that you're strong.

We feel like enough of a burden when we are depressed. There's no reason to have survivor's guilt for being happy then.

 If you are satisfied, don't feel shame about that. It hurt badly enough when you were unsatisfied.
