·
Blessed is he who insisteth
not on being in the right, for no man is wholly in the right.
·
Blessed is he who forgiveth
others, and he who forgiveth himself.
·
Blessed are they which hunger not after righteousness: for they
see that our lot, whether kindly or cruel, is an act of chance and unknowable.
·
There is no commandment
which may not be broken: neither those I say unto you, nor those laid down by
the prophets.
·
The deeds of men are worthy
neither of heaven nor hell.
·
And if thy right hand offend
thee, forgive it: for thou art thy whole body and thy whole soul, and it is not
profitable for thee to divide them.
·
Thou shalt not magnify the
worship of truth: for at the day's end there is no man who hath not lied many
times with good reason.
·
To bless thine enemy may be
righteous and is not difficult: but to love him is a task for angels, not for men.
·
Give that which is holy unto
the dogs, cast thy pearls before swine: for the thing that mattereth is giving.
·
Nothing is built upon rock:
for all is built upon sand: but let each man build as if sand were rock.
