To live a single day and hear a good teaching is better than to live a hundred years without knowing such teaching.
Gautama BuddhaThe fool is his own enemy. Seeking wealth, he destroys himself. Seek rather the other shore.
Gautama BuddhaDo not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.
Gautama BuddhaIf for just the time of a finger-snap a monk produces a thought of loving-kindness, develops it, gives attention to it, such a one is rightly called a monk. Not in vain does he meditate. He acts in accordance with the master's teaching, he follows his advice. How much more so if he cultivates it.
Gautama Buddha
