a dog is not considered a good dog because he is a good bark... - Gautama Buddha
"a dog is not considered a good dog because he is a good barker. a man is not considered a good man because he is a good talker."
"a dog is not considered a good dog because he is a good barker. a man is not considered a good man because he is a good talker."
"Even as a solid rock is unshaken by the wind, so are the wise unshaken by praise or blame."
"To force oneself to believe and to accept a thing without understanding is political, and not spiritual or intellectual."
"You will not be punished for your anger; you will be punished by your anger."
"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."
