Do not have as friends harmful people, the wise person does not associate with the worst of people. Have as friends virtuous people, the wise person associates with the best of people.
Gautama Buddha'Wherefore, brethren, thus must ye train yourselves : Liberation of the will through love will develop, we will often practice it, we will make it vehicle and base, take our stand upon it, store it up, throughly set it going.'
Gautama BuddhaJust as gold is burnt, cut and rubbed, Examine my words carefully and Do not accept them simply out of respect
Gautama Buddha
