Here I will post the first two verses of the Dhammapada, comments and interpretations are welcome.

1

Phenomena are preceded by the heart,
ruled by the heart,
made of the heart.
If you speak or act with a corrupted heart,
then suffering follows you -- as the wheel of the cart,
the track of the ox that pulls it.

2

Phenomena are preceded by the heart,
ruled by the heart,
made of the heart.
If you speak or actwith a calm, bright heart,
then happiness follows you,
like a shadow that never leaves.
