Life is easy For the man who is without shame, Impudent as a crow, A vicious gossip, Vain, meddlesome, dissolute. But life is hard For the man who quietly undertakes The way of perfection, With purity, detachment and vigor. He sees light.
Gautama BuddhaMen who are addicted to the passions are like the torch-carrier running against the wind; his hands are sure to be burned.
Gautama BuddhaIn his ignorance of the whole truth, each person maintains his own arrogant point of view.
Gautama BuddhaIf there is no other world and there is no fruit and ripening of actions well done or ill done, then here and now in this life I shall be free from hostility, affliction, and anxiety, and I shall live happily.
Gautama Buddha
