In Aryans' Discipline, to build a friendship is to build wealth, To maintain a friendship is to maintain wealth and To end a friendship is to end wealth.
Gautama Buddha
But if you do not find an intelligent companion, a wise and well-behaved person going the same way as yourself, then go on your way alone, like a king abandoning a conquered kingdom, or like a great elephant in the deep forest.
Gautama Buddha
The four catagories of existance, non-existance, both existance and non-existance, and neither existance nor non-existance, are spiderwebs among spiderwebs which can never take hold of the enormous bird of reality
Gautama Buddha
There is no fire like passion, there is no shark like hatred, there is no snare like folly, there is no torrent like greed.
Gautama Buddha
Do not interrogate silence because silence is mute do not expect anything from the gods, nor should you try to bribe them with gifts, because it is in ourselves that we must look for liberation.

I will not look at another's bowl intent on finding fault: a training to be observed.
Gautama Buddha
The fiercest fire is hatred.
Gautama Buddha
If anything is worth doing, do it with all your heart.
Gautama Buddha
Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind.
Gautama Buddha
Your worst enemy cannot harm you as much as your own unguarded thoughts.
Gautama Buddha
A man may conquer a million men in battle but one who conquers himself is, indeed, the greatest of conquerors.
Gautama Buddha
The seeker is that which is being sought.
Gautama Buddha
You are the community now. Be a lamp for yourselves. Be your own refuge. Seek for no other. All things must pass. Strive on diligently. Don’t give up.
Gautama Buddha
All phenomena link together in a mutually conditioning network.
Gautama Buddha
One is not called noble who harms living beings. By not harming living beings one is called noble.
Gautama Buddha
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
Looking deeply at life as it is in this very moment, the meditator dwells in stability and freedom.
Gautama Buddha
Ennui has made more gamblers than avarice, more drunkards than thirst, and perhaps as many suicides as despair.
Gautama Buddha
The man who wears the yellow-dyed robe but is not free from stains himself, without self-restraint and integrity, is unworthy of the robe.
Gautama Buddha
