We begin to die from the moment we are born, for birth is the cause of death. The nature of decay is inherent in youth, the nature of sickness is inherent in health, in the midst of life we are verily in death.
Gautama Buddha

More quotes by Gautama Buddha
Your worst enemy cannot harm you as much as your own unguarded thoughts. Develop the mind of equilibrium. You will always be getting praise and blame, but do not let either affect the poise of the mind: follow the calmness, the absence of pride.
Gautama Buddha
There are two things that we should avoid, oh disciple! A life of pleasures, that is low and vain. A life of mortification, that is useless and vain.
Gautama Buddha
Just as a solid rock is not shaken by the storm, even so the wise are not affected by praise or blame.
Gautama Buddha
There is nothing so disobedient as an undisciplined mind, and there is nothing so obedient as a disciplined mind.
Gautama Buddha
Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind.
Gautama Buddha
We will be thankful and grateful. Not even the last thing that is done for us shall be forgotten.
Gautama Buddha
Let the disciple cultivate love without measure towards all beings. Let him cultivate towards the whole world, above, below, around, a heart of love unstinted....For in all the world this state of heart is best.
Gautama Buddha
It is our minds that create this world.
Gautama Buddha
Believe only what you yourself test and judge to be true.
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
There is no meditation without wisdom, and there is no wisdom without meditation. When a man has both meditation and wisdom, he is indeed close to nirvana.
Gautama Buddha
Let your love flow outward through the universe, To its height, its depth, its broad extent, A limitless love, without hatred or enmity. Then as you stand or walk, Sit or lie down, As long as you are awake, Strive for this with a one-pointed mind Your life will bring heaven to earth.
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
You are far from the end of your journey. The way is not in the sky. The way is in the heart. See how you love.
Gautama Buddha
As soon as we think we are safe, something unexpected happens.
Gautama Buddha
You must love yourself before you love another. By accepting yourself and fully being what you are, your simple presence can make others happy You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love & affection.
Gautama Buddha
I call wise man who, while he is innocent , endures insults and blows with a patience equal to its strength.
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
To avoid causing terror to living beings, let the disciple refrain from eating meat.
Gautama Buddha
Like a caring mother holding and guarding the life of her only child, so with a boundless heart of loving kindness, hold yourself and all beings as your beloved children.
Gautama Buddha
