Little by little a person becomes evil, as a water pot is filled by drops of water... Little by little a person becomes good, as a water pot is filled by drops of water.

More quotes by Gautama Buddha
Remember, the greatest gift to give people your enlightenment, to share it. It has to be the greatest.
Gautama Buddha
When faced with the vicissitudes of life, one's mind remains unshaken, sorrow-less, stainless, secure this is the greatest welfare
Gautama Buddha
You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.
Gautama Buddha
Live contemplating the body through mindfulness. Live contemplating feelings. In this way you will be aware of and control wrong desires.
Gautama Buddha
A family is a place where minds come in contact with one another. If these minds love one another the home will be as beautiful as a flower garden. But if these minds get out of harmony with one another it is like a storm that plays havoc with the garden.
Gautama Buddha
Let no person think lightly of good, saying in his or her heart, it will not benefit me. As by the falling of raindrops a jar of water is filled, so the wise person becomes full of good, even though he or she collects it little by little.
Gautama Buddha
Know well what holds you back, and what moves you forward
Gautama Buddha
There is, Oh Monks, a not-born, a not-become, a not-made, a not-compounded. Monks, if that unborn, not-become, not-made, not-compounded were not, there would be no escape from this here that is born, become, made and compounded.
Gautama Buddha
With gentleness overcome anger. With generosity overcome meanness. With truth overcome deceit.
Gautama Buddha
Each day of my life I am sowing seeds that one day I will harvest.
Gautama Buddha
He whose longing has been aroused for the indescribable, whose mind has been quickened by it, and whose thought is not attached to sensuality is truly called one who is bound upstream.
Gautama Buddha
The wise man makes an island of himself that no flood can overwhelm.
Gautama Buddha
Be the witness of your thoughts.
Gautama Buddha
Speak the truth. Give whatever you can. Never be angry. These three steps will lead you Into the presence of the gods.
Gautama Buddha
When phenomena are individually analyzed as selfless, and what has been analyzed is meditated upon, that is the cause for attaining the fruit, nirvana. One does not go to peace through any other cause
Gautama Buddha
All rising to great places is by a winding stair.
Gautama Buddha
But if you do not find an intelligent companion, a wise and well-behaved person going the same way as yourself, then go on your way alone, like a king abandoning a conquered kingdom, or like a great elephant in the deep forest.
Gautama Buddha
Those who act with few desires are calm, without worry or fear.
Gautama Buddha
If desires are not uprooted, sorrows grow again in you.
Gautama Buddha
A kind man who makes good use of wealth is rightly said to possess a great treasure but the miser who hoards up his riches will have no profit.
Gautama Buddha
