Better it is to live one day seeing the rise and fall of things than to live a hundred years without ever seeing the rise and fall of things.
Gautama BuddhaO men! you can take life easily but, remember, none of you can give life! So, have mercy, have compassion! And, never forget, that compassion makes the world noble and beautiful.
Gautama BuddhaFor the good of the many, for the happiness of the many, out of compassion for the world.
Gautama BuddhaThis life of separateness may be compared to a dream, a phantasm, a bubble, a shadow, a drop of dew, a flash of lightning.
Gautama BuddhaThe mind is the source of happiness and unhappiness by what it chooses to compare the experience with. If it chooses to compare it to something worse then it will create happiness, gratitude and pride but if it chooses to compare it to something better then it will create unhappiness, bitterness and envy.
Gautama Buddha
