Watch the thought and its ways with care, and let it spring from love born out of concern for all beings.
Gautama BuddhaIt is the fool who is haunted by fears, dread of dangers, oppression of mind, not the wise man.
Gautama BuddhaSurely if living creatures saw the results of all their evil deeds, they would turn away from them in disgust. But selfhood blinds them, and they cling to their obnoxious desires. They crave pleasure for themselves and they cause pain to others; when death destroys their individuality, they find no peace; their thirst for existence abides and their selfhood reappears in new births. Thus they continue to move in the coil and can find no escape from the hell of their own making.
Gautama Buddha
