Attention leads to immortality. Carelessness leads to death. Those who pay attention will not die, while the careless are as good as dead already.
Gautama BuddhaI will not look at another's bowl intent on finding fault: a training to be observed.
Gautama BuddhaOne who conquers himself is greater than another who conquers a thousand times a thousand on the battlefield.
Gautama BuddhaNever have anything to do with likes and dislikes. The absence of what one likes is painful, as is the presence of what one dislikes. Therefore don't take a liking to anything. To lose what one likes is hard, but there are no bonds for those who have no likes and dislikes. From preference arises sorrow, from preference arises fear, but he who is freed from preference has no sorrow and certainly no fear.
Gautama Buddha
