Buddha

“Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace.”

“Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.”

“No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.”

“Just as a snake sheds its skin, we must shed our past over and over again.”

“All that we are is the result of what we have thought.”

“Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it.”

“The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows.”

“The greatest wealth is health.”

“All conditioned things are impermanent. Strive on with diligence.”

“As a mother would risk her life to protect her child, so cultivate a boundless heart toward all beings.”

“He who walks in the eightfold noble path with unswerving determination is sure to reach Nirvana.”

“Better than a thousand useless verses is one useful line, hearing which one attains peace.”

“He whose mind is not shaken when touched by the things of the world, sorrowless, stainless, secure — this is the highest blessing.”

“Like a flower that is fair and beautiful but without scent, even so fruitless are the well-spoken words of one who does not act accordingly.”

“Just as a mountain of rock is unshaken by the wind, so the wise are unmoved by praise or blame.”

“Even as rain breaks through an ill-thatched house, passion will break through an unguarded mind.”

“Conquer anger by non-anger. Conquer evil by good. Conquer the miser by liberality. Conquer the liar by truth.”

“The mind is hard to check, swift, flits wherever it lists; to control it is good. A controlled mind is conducive to happiness.”

“Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.”
