If 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 BuddhaBe your own lamps. Be your own shelters. Hang on to the truth as a lamp. Hang on to the truth as a refuge.
Gautama BuddhaThe gift of the Truth beats all other gifts. The flavour of the Truth beats all other tastes. The joy of the Truth beats all other joys, and the cessation of desire conquers all suffering
Gautama BuddhaAs you walk and eat and travel, be where you are. Otherwise you will miss most of your life.
Gautama Buddha
