dhammapada six
Better than a meaningless statement of a thousand words is a single word which, when heard, produces peace.
Better then a thousand verses that pile up meaningless remarks is a single verse of deep meaning which, when heard, produces peace.
Better than reciting a hundred verses that have no meaning is reciting one verse of Dharma which, when heard, produces peace.
The one who has conquered himself is a far greater hero than the one who has defeated a thousand times a thousand men.
Beings who have mastered themselves move always with restraint. How much better to conquer oneself than to conquer a host of others!

Moving always without restraint.
What an amazing feeling that would be!
How perfectly marvelous to flow so... Effortlessly? In control without being controlling.----

No restraint at all that boy!

Hi Daniel,
I like the one verse.
I like the two and I like the six.
I like the number six verse that collects peace.
Love, Sam
