Gautama Buddha
Flower and thorn are in the same stem.

Don't pray for lighter burdens, but for stronger backs.
Gautama Buddha
Forgive and be free. Forget that you have forgiven and be freer.

When one drives away the negligent through vigilance, he climbs the heights of wisdom, and can see the suffering masses. Serene, you look upon the lost like one that stands on a mountain sees those that stand upon the plain.
Gautama Buddha
Happiness comes when your work and words are of benefit to others.
Gautama Buddha
Many do not realize that we here must die. For those who realize this, quarrels end.
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
Learn this from the waters: in mountain clefts and chasms, loud gush the streamlets, but great rivers flow silently.
Gautama Buddha
A raft needed to cross the river is discarded when the other shore is reached, not carried about on one's head.
Gautama Buddha
Those who by form did see me and those who followed me by voice. Wrong the efforts they engaged in, those people will not see me.
Gautama Buddha
Men who are addicted to the passions are like the torch-carrier running against the wind his hands are sure to be burned.
Gautama Buddha
One who is unrestrained in life-delusion overcomes as the wind a weak tree.
Gautama Buddha
Man's troubles are rooted in extreme attention to senses, thoughts, and imagination. Attention should be focused internally to experience a quiet body and a calm mind.
Gautama Buddha
Your body is precious. It is our vehicle for awakening. Treat it with care.
Gautama Buddha
Awake. Be the witness of your thoughts. The elephant hauls himself from the mud. In the same way drag yourself out of your sloth.
Gautama Buddha
The heavens and the earth may be captured by the mind's eye.
Gautama Buddha
If you determine your course With force or speed, You miss the way of the dharma. Quietly consider What is right and what is wrong. Receiving all opinions equally, Without haste, wisely, Observe the dharma.
Gautama Buddha
Be greatly aware of the present.
Gautama Buddha
Once you know the nature of anger and joy is empty and you let them go, you free yourself from karma.
Gautama Buddha
