When a wise man is advised of his errors, he will reflect on and improve his conduct. When his misconduct is pointed out, a foolish man will not only disregard the advice but rather repeat the same error.

More quotes by Gautama Buddha
Look within, thou art the Buddha.
Gautama Buddha
If you want to know the past, look at your present. If you want to know the future, look at your present.
Gautama Buddha
And so, with a boundless heart should one cherish all living beings.
Gautama Buddha
If a man can control his body and mind and thereby refrains from eating animal flesh and wearing animal products, I say he will really be liberated.
Gautama Buddha
Truth is always truth, untruth is always untruth. This is what matters, this is right desire.
Gautama Buddha
Care about your children. Just bless them instead of worrying, as every child is the little Buddha who helps his parents to grow up.
Gautama Buddha
For all mortals, birth is suffering, ageing is suffering, sickness is suffering.
Gautama Buddha
When one sees that everything exists as an illusion, one can live in a higher sphere than ordinary man.
Gautama Buddha
In a controversy the instant we feel anger we have already ceased striving for the truth, and have begun striving for ourselves. This is a helpful pointer for our everyday presence-practice. Can you catch yourself angrily defending your point of view or attacking the other person's? There's the ego.
Gautama Buddha
Look not for refuge to anyone beside yourself. Heed fast to the truth as a lamp.
Gautama Buddha
The wind cannot overturn a mountain. Temptation cannot touch the man Who is awake, strong and humble, Who masters hiself and minds the law.
Gautama Buddha
...One who possesses four qualities is deposited in heaven as if brought there. What four? Bodily good conduct, verbal good conduct, mental good conduct, and gratitude or thankfulness. One possessing these four qualities is deposited in heaven as if brought there.
Gautama Buddha
This is how to contemplate our conditioned existence in this fleeting world: Like a tiny drop of dew, or a bubble floating in a stream Like a flash of lightning in a summer cloud, Or a flickering lamp, an illusion, a phantom, or a dream. So is all conditioned existence to be seen.
Gautama Buddha
Rage is a powerful energy that with diligent practice can be transformed into fierce compassion. However much we disagree with our enemies, our task is to identify with them. They too feel justified in their point of view.
Gautama Buddha
Mindfulness of the body leads to nirvana.
Gautama Buddha
The fool is his own enemy. Seeking wealth, he destroys himself. Seek rather the other shore.
Gautama Buddha
First of all there will appear to you, swifter than lightning, the luminous splendor of the colorless light of Emptiness, and that will surround you on all sides. ...Try to submerge yourself in that light, giving up all belief in a separate self, all attachment to your illusory ego.
Gautama Buddha
Ennui has made more gamblers than avarice, more drunkards than thirst, and perhaps as many suicides as despair.
Gautama Buddha
Rising early and scorning laziness, remaining calm in time of strife, faultless in conduct and clever in actions. One like this will be praised.
Gautama Buddha
To utter pleasant words without practicing them, is like a fine flower without fragrance.
Gautama Buddha
