The cause of today is the
effect of the past and the cause for the future.
The finer is always the cause, the grosser the effect.
Something cannot be made out of nothing.
All virtuous actions bring pleasure,
and all vicious actions bring pain.
What one has done one must suffer.
We are in this world by our own actions.
What we are now is the result of our past practice.
No one is to blame for our miseries but ourselves.
