Gautama Buddha

"There is nothing so disobedient as an undisciplined mind, and there is nothing so obedient as a disciplined mind."

"Silence the angry man with love. Silence the ill-natured man with kindness. Silence the miser with generosity. Silence the liar with truth."

"The Way is not in the sky; the Way is in the heart."

"May all that have life be delivered from suffering"

"All that we are is the result of what we have thought: it is founded on our thoughts and made up of our thoughts. If a man speak or act with an evil thought, suffering follows him as the wheel follows the hoof of the beast that draws the wagon.... If a man speak or act with a good thought, happiness follows him like a shadow that never leaves him."

"To become vegetarian is to step into the stream which leads to nirvana."

"You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection"

"You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection"

"You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection."

"When the Aggregates arise, decay and die, O bhikkhu, every moment you are born, decay, and die."

"You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection."

"Those who have failed to work toward the truth have missed the purpose of living."

"Doubt everything. Find your own light."

"You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection."

"Few among men are they who cross to the further shore. The others merely run up and down the bank on this side."

"Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense."

"Even as a solid rock is unshaken by the wind, so are the wise unshaken by praise or blame."

"The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, nor to worry about the future, but to live the present moment wisely and earnestly."

"Speak the truth do not become angered and give when asked, even be it a little. By these three conditions one goes to the presence of the gods."

"Few among men are they who cross to the further shore. The others merely run up and down the bank on this side."
