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.

More quotes by Gautama Buddha
He who harms living beings is, for that reason, not an ariya (a Noble One) he who does not harm any living being is called an ariya.
Gautama Buddha
May I hold myself in compassion. May I meet the suffering and ignorance of others with compassion.
Gautama Buddha
So too, monks, I saw the ancient path, the ancient road traveled by the Perfectly Enlightened Ones of the past. And what is that ancient path, that ancient road? It is just this Noble Eightfold Path that is, right view, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, right concentration.
Gautama Buddha
Whatever words we utter should be chosen with care for people will hear them and be influenced by them for good or ill.
Gautama Buddha
Not merely by rules of conduct and religious observances, nor by much learning either, nor even by attainment of concentration, nor by sleeping alone, do I reach the happiness of freedom, to which no worldlings attain. If you have not put an end to compulsions, nurse your faith
Gautama Buddha
Those who are free of resentful thoughts surely find peace.
Gautama Buddha
The deluding passions are inexhaustible. I vow to extinguish them all. The number of beings is endless. I vow to save them all. The Truth cannot be told. I vow to explain it. The Way which cannot be followed is unattainable. I vow to attain it.
Gautama Buddha
No clouds gathered in the skies and the polluted streams became clear, whilst celestial music rang through the air and the angels rejoiced with gladness. With no selfish or partial joy but for the sake of the law they rejoiced, for creation engulfed in the ocean of pain was now to obtain release.
Gautama Buddha
Dharma is not upheld by talking about it. Dharma is upheld by living in harmony with it.
Gautama Buddha
Do not think lightly of good, that nothing will come of it. A whole water pot will fill up from dripping drops of water.
Gautama Buddha
The wise say that it is not an iron, wooden or fiber fetter which is a strong one, but the besotted hankering after trinkets, children and wives, that, say the wise, is the strong fetter. It drags one down, and loose as it feels, it is hard to break. Breaking this fetter, people renounce the world, free from longing and abandoning sensuality.
Gautama Buddha
Love the whole world as a mother loves her only child.
Gautama Buddha
Follow not after the vain, understand the ills of sense pleasures. One who is vigilant and meditative, obtains deep joy.
Gautama Buddha
Those who are ashamed of what they ought not to be ashamed and are not ashamed of what they ought to be - such men, embracing erroneous views, enter the woeful path.
Gautama Buddha
You yourself must make an effort. Buddhas are only show the way. The thoughtful who enter the way are freed from the bondage of defilements.
Gautama Buddha
Delight in meditation and solitude. Compose yourself, be happy. You are a seeker.
Gautama Buddha
And he who lives a hundred years, idle and weak, a life of one day is better if a man has attained firm strength.
Gautama Buddha
You are all the Buddha.
Gautama Buddha
As a mountain is unshaken by the wind, so the heart of a wise person is unmoved by all the changes on this earth.
Gautama Buddha
Holding on to anger is like poisoning yourself and hoping someone else will die.
Gautama Buddha
