No light is brighter than wisdom. Wisdom is the light in the world.
Gautama Buddha
-
Be a light unto yourself.
Gautama Buddha -
Let go the past, let go the future, and let go the present (front, back, middle). Crossing to the farther shore of existence, with mind released everywhere, do not further undergo birth and decay.
Gautama Buddha -
In Aryans' Discipline, to build a friendship is to build wealth, To maintain a friendship is to maintain wealth and To end a friendship is to end wealth.

Make of yourself a light.
Gautama Buddha -
Inflowing thoughts come to an end in those who are ever alert of mind, training themselves night and day, and ever intent on nirvana.

Truth is always truth, untruth is always untruth. This is what matters, this is right desire.
Gautama Buddha

Those who walk in the Way should avoid sensualism as those who carry hay would avoid coming near the fire.
Gautama Buddha -
Here even the various mind-pleasing blossoming flowers, and attractive shining supreme golden houses, have no inherently existent maker at all. They are set up through the power of thought. Through the power of conceptuality the world is established.
Gautama Buddha -
Rely on the teaching, not on the person; Rely on the meaning, not on the words; Rely on the definitive meaning, not on the provisional; Rely on your wisdom mind, not on your ordinary mind.
Gautama Buddha -
He who lives with his senses well controlled, moderate in his food and drink, he will not be overthrown, any more than the wind throws down a rocky mountain.

Read as few words as you like, and speak fewer, but act upon the law.

Like a beautiful flower that is colorful but has no fragrance, even well spoken words bear no fruit in one who does not put them into practice.
Gautama Buddha -
There is a way to be purified, to overcome sorrows and grief, to release suffering, to secure the right path to realize nirvana. This is to be mindful.
Gautama Buddha -
In four ways ... should one who flatters be understood as a foe in the guise of a friend: He approves of his friend's evil deeds, he disapproves his friend's good deeds, he praises him in his presence, he speaks ill of him in his absence.
Gautama Buddha -
Form is emptiness, emptiness is form.
Gautama Buddha -
Your purpose in life is to find your purpose and give your whole heart and soul to it.
Gautama Buddha
-
Do not believe anything because it is said by an authority, or if it is said to come from angels, or from Gods, or from an inspired source. Believe it only if you have explored it in your own heart and mind and body and found it to be true. Work out your own path, through diligence.
Gautama Buddha -
Overcome your uncertainties and free yourself from dwelling on sorrow. When you delight in existence, you will awaken, and become a guide to those in need, revealing the path to many.
Gautama Buddha -
Silence is an empty space, space is the home of the awakened mind.
Gautama Buddha -
Anger will never disappear so long as thoughts of resentment are cherished in the mind.
Gautama Buddha
