Before you've seen it, and when you first see it, it is the greatest thing; afterwards, it is ordinary.
Gautama BuddhaIf you let cloudy water settle, it will become clear. If you let your upset mind settle, your course will also become clear.
Gautama BuddhaThere is no satisfying the senses, not even with a shower of money. "The senses are of slight pleasure and really suffering." When a wise man has realised this, he takes no pleasure, as a disciple of the Buddhas, even in the pleasures of heaven. Instead he takes pleasure in the elimination of craving.
Gautama Buddha
