Gautama Buddha

"However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you if you do not act on upon them?"

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

"Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful."

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

"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."
