As the fletcher whittles and makes straight his arrows, so the master directs his straying thoughts.
Gautama BuddhaAll that we are is the result of what we have thought. If people speak or act with evil thoughts, pain follows them. If people speak or act with pure thoughts, happiness follows them, like a shadow that never leaves them.
Gautama BuddhaWhen one is overcome by this wretched, clinging desire in the world, one's sorrows increase like grass growing up after a lot of rain.
Gautama Buddha
