It is impossible for a man who is bogged to extricate another who is bogged.
Gautama Buddha

The man who foolishly does me wrong, I will return to him the protection of my most ungrudging love and the more evil comes from him, the more good shall go from me.
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
Image
Freed by full realization and at peace, the mind of such a man is at peace, and his speech and action peaceful. He has no need for faith who knows the uncreated, who has cut off rebirth, who has destroyed any opportunity for good or evil, and cast away all desire. He is indeed the ultimate man.
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
Image
When ignorant people see someone who is dead, they are disgusted and horrified, even thought they too will be dead some day. I thought to myself: I don't want to be like the ignorant people. After then, I couldn't feel the usual intoxication with life anymore.
Gautama Buddha
Image
In his ignorance of the whole truth, each person maintains his own arrogant point of view.
Gautama Buddha
Image
I do not fight with the world but the world fights with me.

Just as a solid rock is not shaken by the storm, even so the wise are not affected by praise or blame.

What you have become is the result of what you have thought

Within this moment, the only moment that exists, the past, present and future are contained.
Gautama Buddha

It is not life and wealth and power that enslave men, but the cleaving to life and wealth and power.
Gautama Buddha

Sandalwood, tagara, lotus, jasmine - the fragrance of virtue is unrivalled by such kinds of perfume.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Do not disregard the accumulation of goodness, saying, 'This will come to nothing.' By the gradual falling of raindrops, a jar is filled.
Gautama Buddha
Image
He who is grateful doesn't suffer.
Gautama Buddha

How long the night to the watchman, How long the road to the weary traveller, How long the wandering of many lives To the fool who misses the way.
