After much seeking for truth and knowledge the profoundness of reality came to me with a clarity never before known.
Gautama BuddhaHowever many holy words you read, However many you speak, What good will they do you If you do not act on upon them?
Gautama BuddhaAs a bee without harming the flower, its colour or scent, flies away, collecting only the honey, even so should the sage wander in the village.
Gautama BuddhaBelieve nothing just because a so-called wise person said it. Believe nothing just because a belief is generally held. Believe nothing just because it is said in ancient books. Believe nothing just because it is said to be of divine origin. Believe nothing just because someone else believes it. Believe only what you yourself test and judge to be true.
Gautama Buddha
