A jug fills drop by drop.
-- Buddha
All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become.
-- BuddhaBe a lamp unto yourself. Work out your liberation with diligence.
-- BuddhaBe vigilant; guard your mind against negative thoughts.
-- BuddhaBeings are owners of their action, heirs of their action.
-- BuddhaBelieve nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.
-- BuddhaDo not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.
-- BuddhaFashion your life as a garland of beautiful deeds.
-- BuddhaHatred does not cease through hatred at any time. Hatred ceases through love. This is an unalterable law.
-- BuddhaHave compassion for all beings, rich and poor alike; each has their suffering. Some suffer too much, others too little.
-- BuddhaHolding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.
-- BuddhaIf we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change.
-- BuddhaJust as the great oceans have but one taste, the taste of salt, so too there is but one taste fundamental to all true teachings of the way, and this is the taste of freedom.
-- BuddhaLet us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, 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.
-- BuddhaLet yourself be open and life will be easier. A spoon of salt in a glass of water makes the water undrinkable. A spoon of salt in a lake is almost unnoticed.
-- BuddhaNo one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.
-- Buddha
