Love yourself and be awake- Today, tomorrow, always. First establish yourself in the way, Then teach others, And so defeat sorrow. To straighten the crooked You must first do a harder thing- Straighten yourself. You are your only master. Who else? Subdue yourself, And discover your master.
Gautama BuddhaAs a mountain is unshaken by the wind, so the heart of a wise person is unmoved by all the changes on this earth.
Gautama BuddhaIn the light of his vision that is the perspective that allows him to be grateful that things are not worse he has found his freedom and joy: his thoughts are peace, his words are peace and his work is peace.
Gautama BuddhaThe glorious chariots of kings wear out, and the body wears out and grows old; but the virtue of the good never grows old.
Gautama BuddhaThe world is full of suffering. Birth is suffering, decre- pitude is suffering, sickness and death are sufferings. To face a man of hatred is suffering, to be separated from a beloved one is suffering, to be vainly struggling to satisfy one's needs is suffering. In fact, life that is not free from desire and passion is always involved with suffering.
Gautama Buddha
