Sow flowers to make a garden bloom around you,
The thorns you sow will prick your own feet.
Arrows shot at others
Will return to hit you as they fall.

Of a well dug to undermine another.
Though you look at others with contempt,
It's you whose body will be reduced to dust.

To torture another is simply to wound yourself.
[...]Make your path straight now, by the bright light of day;
For pitch darkness will come without warning.

I basically pull inspiration from everywhere.
