The fool says, These are my sons, this is my land, this is my money. In reality, the fool does not own himself, much less sons, land, or money.

More quotes by Gautama Buddha
Awakening is natural,delusion is not
Gautama Buddha
These are the roots of trees, O monks, these are empty huts. Meditate, monks, do not be negligent, or else you will regret it later. This is our instruction to you.
Gautama Buddha
Water surrounds the lotus flower, but does not wet its petals.
Gautama Buddha
It is impossible for a man who is bogged to extricate another who is bogged.
Gautama Buddha
Rage is a powerful energy that with diligent practice can be transformed into fierce compassion. However much we disagree with our enemies, our task is to identify with them. They too feel justified in their point of view.
Gautama Buddha
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
Gautama Buddha
A victor only breeds hatred, while a defeated man lives in misery, but a man at peace within lives happily, abandoning up ideas of victory and defeat.
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
You are all the Buddha.
Gautama Buddha
Those who are free of resentful thoughts surely find peace.
Gautama Buddha
Treat others with respect. How you treat others will be how they treat you.
Gautama Buddha
Better than a meaningless story of a thousand words is a single word of deep meaning which, when heard, produces peace.
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
Do not give up your authority and follow blindly the will of others. This way will lead to only delusion.
Gautama Buddha
Whoever makes love grow boundless, and sets his mind for seeing the end of birth, his fetters are worn thin. If he loves even a single being, Good will follow. But the Noble One with compassionate heart for all mankind, generates abounding good.
Gautama Buddha
One who is wise and disciplined, always kind and intelligent, humble and free from pride. One like this will be praised.
Gautama Buddha
Cut down the forest, not just a tree. Out of the forest of desire springs danger. By cutting down both the forest of desire and the brushwood of longing, be rid of the forest, bhikkhus.
Gautama Buddha
When I was a young man, near the beginning of my life, I looked around with true mindfulness and saw that all things are subject to decay.
Gautama Buddha
What is the appropriate behavior for a man or a woman in the midst of this world, where each person is clinging to his piece of debris? What's the proper salutation between people as they pass each other in this flood?
Gautama Buddha
You yourself must make an effort. Buddhas are only show the way. The thoughtful who enter the way are freed from the bondage of defilements.
Gautama Buddha
