If you cannot find a good companion to walk with, walk alone, like an elephant roaming the jungle. It is better to be alone than to be with those who will hinder your progress.

More quotes by Gautama Buddha
As from a large heap of flowers many garlands and wreaths are made, so by a mortal in this life there is much good work to be done.
Gautama Buddha
How does one practice mindfulness? Sit in meditation. Be aware of only your breath.
Gautama Buddha
Foolish, ignorant people indulge in careless lives, whereas a clever man guards his attention as his most precious possession.
Gautama Buddha
When a man makes utensils out of a metal which has been thoroughly cleansed of dross, the utensils will be excellent. You monks, who wish to follow the Way, make your own hearts clean from the dirt of evil passion, and your conduct will be unimpeachable.
Gautama Buddha
When you have great joy, you will become Buddhas!
Gautama Buddha
Realizing the doctrine of dependent-arising, the wise do not at all partake of extreme views
Gautama Buddha
Few among men are they who cross to the further shore. The others merely run up and down the bank on this side.
Gautama Buddha
Even loss and betrayal can bring us awakening.
Gautama Buddha
As a net is made up of a series of ties, so everything in this world is connected by a series of ties. If anyone thinks that the mesh of a net is an independent, isolated thing, he is mistaken. It is called a net because it is made up of a series of interconnected meshes, and each mesh has its place and responsibility in relation to other meshes.
Gautama Buddha
To avoid causing terror to living beings, let the disciple refrain from eating meat.
Gautama Buddha
Love lasts when the relationship comes first
Gautama Buddha
One who is wise and disciplined, always kind and intelligent, humble and free from pride. One like this will be praised.
Gautama Buddha
Love is a fleeting emotion, to reach true nirvana one must know themselves and forsake love, for it breeds contempt
Gautama Buddha
If you are poor, live wisely. If you have riches, live wisely. It is not your station in life but your heart that brings blessings.
Gautama Buddha
Rather than continuing to seek the truth, simply let go of your views.
Gautama Buddha
If by leaving a small pleasure one sees a great pleasure, let a wise man leave the small pleasure, and look to the great.
Gautama Buddha
Work out your own salvation. Do not depend on others.
Gautama Buddha
Want what you have and you will always get what you want.
Gautama Buddha
Don't rely on logic alone, nor speculation. Don't infer or be deceived by appearances.
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
