The Way is not in the sky; the Way is in the heart. - Gautama Buddha

"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."

"True love is born from understanding."

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