One who is unrestrained in life-delusion overcomes as the wind a weak tree.
Gautama Buddha
As an irrigator guides water to his fields, as an archer aims an arrow, as a carpenter carves wood, the wise shape their lives.
Gautama Buddha
Even loss and betrayal can bring us awakening.

Gautama Buddha
If a traveller does not meet with one who is his better, or his equal, let him firmly keep to his solitary journey there is no companionship with a fool.

An pretend and evil friend is haughty to be feared than a unmanageable beast a unmanageable beast may mouthful your build up, but an evil friend fortitude mouthful your intellect.

There are these two kinds of gifts: a gift of material things & a gift of the Dhamma. Of the two, this is supreme: a gift of the Dhamma.
Gautama Buddha
You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.
Gautama Buddha
The ocean, king of mountains and the mighty continents Are not heavy burdens to bear when compared To the burden of not repaying the world's kindness.
Gautama Buddha
Which do you think is more my friend, the water in the four great oceans or the tears that you have shed on this long way of taking birth again and again?
Gautama Buddha
You are your own master, you make your own future. Therefore discipline yourself as a horse-dealer trains a thoroughbred
Gautama Buddha
Silence the angry man with love. Silence the ill-natured man with kindness. Silence the miser with generosity. Silence the liar with truth.
Gautama Buddha
You are all Buddhas. There is nothing you need to achieve. Just open your eyes.
Gautama Buddha
You can search the world over and you will find no one who is more deserving of your kindness and well wishing than you yourself.
Gautama Buddha
You yourself must strive. The Buddhas only point the way.
Gautama Buddha
A noble person is mindful and thankful for the favors he receives from others.
Gautama Buddha
People cleave to their worldly possessions and selfish passions so blindly as to sacrifice their own lives for them. They are like a child who tries to eat a little, honey smeared on the edge of a knife. The amount is by no means sufficient to appease his appetite, but he runs the risk of wounding his tongue.
Gautama Buddha
Your worst enemy is your best teacher.
Gautama Buddha
