Though one should live a hundred years without wisdom and control, yet better, indeed, is a single day's life of one who is wise and meditative.
Gautama BuddhaWhatever the hateful do to the hateful, or an enemy to an enemy, worse is the harm of a misguided mind directed at oneself.
Gautama BuddhaA dog is not considered a good dog because he is a good barker. A man is not considered a good man because he is a good talker.
Gautama BuddhaA fool thinks it like honey so long as the bad deed does not bear fruit, but when it does bear fruit he experiences suffering.
Gautama BuddhaIf a man who has committed many a misdemeanor does not repent and cleanse his heart of the evil, retribution will come upon his person as sure as the streams run into the ocean which becomes ever deeper and wider. If a man who has committed a misdemeanor come to the knowledge of it, reform himself, and practise goodness, the force of retribution will gradually exhaust itself as a disease gradually loses its baneful influence when the patient perspires.
Gautama Buddha
