You are your own master, you make your own future. Therefore discipline yourself as a horse-dealer trains a thoroughbred
Gautama BuddhaThe judgment: You are now before Yama, King of the Dead. In vain will you try to...deny or conceal the evil deeds you have done. ... the mirror in which Yama seems to read your past is your own memory, and also his judgment is your own. It is you yourself who pronounce your own judgment.
Gautama BuddhaThough through all his life a fool associates with a wise man, he yet understands not the Dharma, as the spoon, the flavor of soup.
Gautama BuddhaMen who are addicted to the passions are like the torch-carrier running against the wind; his hands are sure to be burned.
