3. Как верно то, что камень, брошенный кверху, не остается там, но возвращается на землю, так же верно и то, что, смотря по добрым или злым делам твоим, будет отмерено тебе исполнение желаний твоего сердца, в каком бы виде и в какой бы мир ты ни вступил.
3. As surely as a stone thrown upward does not stay there but returns to the earth, so surely, according to your good or evil deeds, will the fulfillment of your heart’s desires be measured out to you, in whatever form and into whatever world you may enter.

The words shown were found, word for word, in the saved source text. The Sacred Anthology (1874), no. DCLXXI, Cause and Effect, p. 425.
Conway's English, close: 'As surely as the pebble cast heavenward abides not there, but returns to the earth; so, proportionate to thy deed, good or ill, will the desire of thy heart be meted out to thee in whatever form or world thou shalt enter.' The pebble becomes «камень» (a stone). Conway names no text for it; his sources for the Singhalese passages include Gogerly's papers in The Friend (Colombo, 1839), Upham's Sacred and Historical Books of Ceylon (1833), and Steele's Kusa Jatakaya (1871). The Pali or Sinhalese original was not found. Not in Thoughts of Wise Men (1903).
8. Милосердием и кротостью, отреченьем от себя ты обезоружишь всякого врага. От недостатка дров тухнет всякий огонь.
8. By mercy and meekness, by renouncing yourself, you will disarm every enemy. For want of wood every fire goes out.

No source found. The second sentence ('for want of wood every fire goes out') answers to Proverbs 26:20 ('Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out'), which suggests a proverb anthology. T. Tolstaya, «Восточная мудрость» (Посредник, 1903), in the Jubilee source list, is the likely Russian intermediary for the unsigned Eastern sayings; no online copy was found.
