Thomas Byrom's renderings of the sayings of the Buddha present the way of the heart as a path to travel. Here's an excerpt on the spiritual practice of peace.
"Better than a thousand hollow words
Is one word that brings peace.
"Better than a thousand hollow verses
Is one verse that brings peace.
"Better than a hundred hollow lines
Is one line of the law, bringing peace.
"It is better to conquer yourself
Than to win a thousand battles.
"Then the victory is yours."
