Endurance is one of the most difficult disciplines but it is to the one who endures that the final victory comes.
Gautama BuddhaIt is ignorance that smothers, and it is carelessness that makes it invisible. The hunger of craving pollutes the world, and the pain of suffering causes the greatest fear.
Gautama BuddhaNever by hatred is hatred appeased, but it is appeased by kindness. This is an eternal truth.
Gautama BuddhaThere is no satisfying the senses, not even with a shower of money. "The senses are of slight pleasure and really suffering." When a wise man has realised this, he takes no pleasure, as a disciple of the Buddhas, even in the pleasures of heaven. Instead he takes pleasure in the elimination of craving.
Gautama Buddha
