Gautama Buddha

May all that have life be delivered from suffering

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

You will not be punished for your anger; you will be punished by your anger.

Happiness comes when your work and words are of benefit to others.

To become vegetarian is to step into the stream which leads to nirvana.

The Way is not in the sky; the Way is in the heart.

Three things can not hide for long: the Moon, the Sun and the Truth.

Speak the truth do not become angered and give when asked, even be it a little. By these three conditions one goes to the presence of the gods.

Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful.

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

a dog is not considered a good dog because he is a good barker. a man is not considered a good man because he is a good talker.

True love is born from understanding.

With our thoughts we make the world.

Those who have failed to work toward the truth have missed the purpose of living.

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.

Conquer the angry one by not getting angry; conquer the wicked by goodness; conquer the stingy by generosity, and the liar by speaking the truth.[Verse 223]

Doubt everything. Find your own light.

Even as a solid rock is unshaken by the wind, so are the wise unshaken by praise or blame.
