An unreflective mind is a poor roof. Passion, like the rain, floods the house. But if the roof is strong, there is shelter. Whoever follows impure thoughts Suffers in this world and the next. In both worlds he suffers And how greatly.
Gautama Buddha

More quotes by Gautama Buddha
One way leads to acquisition, the other leads to nirvana. Realising this a monk should take no pleasure in the respect of others, but should devote himself to solitude.
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
Whenever and wherever one encounters the arising and passing away of the mental-physical structure, one enjoys bliss and delight, which lead on to the deathless stage experienced by the wise
Gautama Buddha
When you like a flower, you just pluck it. But when you love a flower, you water it daily.
Gautama Buddha
It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.
Gautama Buddha
Believe, meditate, see. Be harmless, be blameless. Awake to the law. And from all sorrows free yourself.
Gautama Buddha
Tune as the sitthar, neither high nor low, and we will dance away the hearts of men.
Gautama Buddha
Treat others with respect. How you treat others will be how they treat you.
Gautama Buddha
Mankind have love, animals have affection. The harmonious and beautiful world is revealed.
Gautama Buddha
Dispassion is the best of mental states. . . .
Gautama Buddha
Death carries off a man busy picking flowers with an besotted mind, like a great flood does a sleeping village.
Gautama Buddha
(They) were responsible for spreading the Buddhist religion throughout India and East Asia.
Gautama Buddha
The number of those endowed with human life is as small as the amount of earth one can place on a fingernail. Life as a human being is hard to sustain--as hard as it is for the dew to remain on the grass. But it is better to live a single day with honor than to live to 120 and die in disgrace.
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
Embrace nothing: If you meet the Buddha, kill the Buddha. If you meet your father, kill your father. Only live your life as it is, Not bound to anything.
Gautama Buddha
Give the people - confidence. Give the people - delight. Give the people - hope. Give the people - the best.
Gautama Buddha
When a man makes utensils out of a metal which has been thoroughly cleansed of dross, the utensils will be excellent. You monks, who wish to follow the Way, make your own hearts clean from the dirt of evil passion, and your conduct will be unimpeachable.
Gautama Buddha
As rain falls equally on the just and the unjust, do not burden your heart with judgments but rain your kindness equally on all.
Gautama Buddha
Here even the various mind-pleasing blossoming flowers, and attractive shining supreme golden houses, have no inherently existent maker at all. They are set up through the power of thought. Through the power of conceptuality the world is established
Gautama Buddha
The greatest victory is the one over oneself.
Gautama Buddha
