When I was a young man, near the beginning of my life, I looked around with true mindfulness and saw that all things are subject to decay.
Gautama Buddha -
Like a beautiful flower, full of colour, but without scent, are wise words when spoken, but fruitless these words are when not carried out by the speaker.
Gautama Buddha -
Speak only endearing speech, speech that is welcomed. Speech, when it brings no evil to others, is pleasant.
Gautama Buddha -
Only those who go where few have gone can see what few have seen.
Gautama Buddha -
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 -
Do not be thoughtless, always be mindful, watch your thoughts! Draw yourself out of the path of evil, like an elephant sunk in mud.
Gautama Buddha
-
Through one all are known, through one all are also seen.
Gautama Buddha -
As a flower that is lovely and beautiful, but is scentless, even so fruitless is the well-spoken word of one who practices it not.
Gautama Buddha -
My whole life, I never spoke a single-word.
Gautama Buddha -
Yet the Teaching is simple. Do what is right. Be pure. At the end of the way is freedom.
Gautama Buddha -
Those who, relying upon themselves only, not looking for assistance to anyone besides themselves, it is they who will reach the top-most height.
Gautama Buddha -
The ocean, king of mountains and the mighty continents Are not heavy burdens to bear when compared To the burden of not repaying the world's kindness.
Gautama Buddha
-
A tree is a wonderful living organism which gives shelter, food, warmth and protection to all living things. It even gives shade to those who wield an axe to cut it down.
Gautama Buddha -
I have the body of a GOD.
Gautama Buddha -
Master your words. Master your thoughts. Never allow your body to do harm. Follow these three roads with purity And you will find yourself upon the one way, The way of wisdom.
Gautama Buddha -
Read as few words as you like, and speak fewer, but act upon the law.
Gautama Buddha -
The greatest victory is the one over oneself.
Gautama Buddha -
It is your mind that creates the world.
Gautama Buddha
-
Do not say anything harsh: what you have said will be said back to you.
Gautama Buddha -
Pain is the outcome of sin.
Gautama Buddha -
In the same way that rain breaks into a house with a bad roof, desire breaks into the mind that has not been practising meditation.
Gautama Buddha -
To know and not to use is not yet to know!
Gautama Buddha
