If a string has one end, it has another.
Gautama Buddha -
I will purify my bodily actions through repeated reflection. I will purify my verbal actions through repeated reflection. I will purify my mental actions through repeated reflection. That's how you should train yourself.
Gautama Buddha -
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
Gautama Buddha -
There has to be evil so that good can prove its purity above it. To live a pure unselfish life, one must count nothing as one's own in the midst of abundance.
Gautama Buddha -
Concentrate the mind on the present moment.
Gautama Buddha -
A man may conquer a million men in battle but one who conquers himself is, indeed, the greatest of conquerors.

To meditate is to listen with a receptive heart.
Gautama Buddha -
There is no fire like passion, there is no shark like hatred, there is no snare like folly, there is no torrent like greed.

For those who are always courteous and respectful of elders, four things increase: life, beauty, happiness and strength.
Gautama Buddha -
If you don't see God in the next person you meet, look no further.
Gautama Buddha -
As a bee gathering nectar does not harm or disturb the color & fragrance of the flower; so do the wise move through the world.
Gautama Buddha -
Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think. Suffering follows an evil thought as the wheels of a cart follow the oxen that draws it. Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think. Joy follows a pure thought like a shadow that never leaves.
Gautama Buddha
-
Love yourself and be awake- Today, tomorrow, always. First establish yourself in the way, Then teach others, And so defeat sorrow. To straighten the crooked You must first do a harder thing- Straighten yourself. You are your only master. Who else? Subdue yourself, And discover your master.
Gautama Buddha -
As a water bead on a lotus leaf, as water on a red lily, does not adhere, so the sage does not adhere to the seen, the heard, or the sensed.
Gautama Buddha -
She who knows life flows, feels no wear or tear, needs no mending or repair.
Gautama Buddha -
One who is wise and disciplined, always kind and intelligent, humble and free from pride. One like this will be praised.
Gautama Buddha
