Rely on yourself and no other.

"Can you teach one important thing about life you have learned over these years?"
"I like the teachings of Buddha. Jitomyo, the light of a self lit lamp. Hotomyo, the light of the dharma lamp. Have faith in yourself and no other. I also like the teachings from the Bhagavad Gita that tells you not to rely on your physical senses. But sometimes I give in, you know, to eat good food."
