a dog is not considered a good dog because he is a good bark... - Gautama Buddha

"There is nothing more dreadful than the habit of doubt. Doubt separates people. It is a poison that disintegrates friendships and breaks up pleasant relations. It is a thorn that irritates and hurts; it is a sword that kills."

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

"May all that have life be delivered from suffering"

"To force oneself to believe and to accept a thing without understanding is political, and not spiritual or intellectual."

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