Ennui has made more gamblers than avarice, more drunkards than thirst, and perhaps as many suicides as despair.

More quotes by Gautama Buddha
How does one stay mindful? Where feelings are known as they arise, known as they persist, known as they pass away. Thoughts are known as they arise, known as they persist, known as they pass away. Perceptions are known they arise, known as they persist, known as they pass away. This is how a monk stays awake.
Gautama Buddha
Work out your own salvation. Do not depend on others.
Gautama Buddha
Wherever we go, wherever we remain, the results of our actions follow us.
Gautama Buddha
You are far from the end of your journey. The way is not in the sky. The way is in the heart. See how you love.
Gautama Buddha
Watch the thought and its ways with care, and let it spring from love born out of concern for all beings.
Gautama Buddha
Beings are owners of their actions, heirs of their actions they originate from their actions, are bound to their actions, have their actions as their refuge. It is action that distinguishes beings as inferior and superior.
Gautama Buddha
However young, the seeker who sets out upon the way Shines bright over the world. But day and night the person who is awake Shines in the radiance of the spirit. Meditate. Live purely. Be quiet. Do your work, with mastery. Like the moon, come out from behind the clouds! Shine!
Gautama Buddha
But when one masters this wretched desire, which is so hard to overcome, then one's sorrows just drop off, like a drop of water off a lotus.
Gautama Buddha
Don't give way to heedlessness or to intimacy with sensual delight - for a heedful person, absorbed in jhana, attains an abundance of ease.
Gautama Buddha
If one is the master of oneself, one is the resort one can depend on therefore, one should control oneself of all.
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
A great gift - a gift of Dharma conquers all gifts.
Gautama Buddha
Tune as the sitthar, neither high nor low, and we will dance away the hearts of men.
Gautama Buddha
How wonderful! How wonderful! All things are perfect, exactly as they are.
Gautama Buddha
Happiness will never come to those who fail to appreciate what they already have.
Gautama Buddha
If you want to understand the causes that existed in the past, look at the results as they are manifested in the present. And if you want to understand what results will be manifested in the future, look at the causes that exist in the present.
Gautama Buddha
Offend in neither word nor deed. Eat with moderation. Live in your heart. Seek the highest consciousness. Master yourself according to the law. This is the simple teaching of the awakened.
Gautama Buddha
Understand that the body is merely the foam of a wave, the shadow of a shadow.
Gautama Buddha
You can search the entire universe and not find a single being more worthy of love than you.
Gautama Buddha
Everything is extraordinarily clear. I see the whole landscape before me, I see my hands, my feet, my toes, and I smell the rich river mud. I feel a sense of tremendous strangeness and wonder at being alive. Wonder of wonders.
Gautama Buddha
