    Who is moderate in food,
    Who has faith and diligence:

    Just as wind cannot overcome a rocky mountain.
    ~Dhammapada 8

    (Dhammapada, Mahamoggallanapanha Vatthu)

    One should utter the truth.
    One should not be angry.
    One should give even

    Along these three paths,
    one may go to the presence of the gods.
