Endurance is one of the most difficult disciplines but it is to the one who endures that the final victory comes.
Gautama BuddhaYou are your own master, you make your own future. Therefore discipline yourself as a horse-dealer trains a thoroughbred
Gautama BuddhaPeople cleave to their worldly possessions and selfish passions so blindly as to sacrifice their own lives for them. They are like a child who tries to eat a little, honey smeared on the edge of a knife. The amount is by no means sufficient to appease his appetite, but he runs the risk of wounding his tongue.
Gautama BuddhaShould a person do good, let him do it again and again. Let him find pleasure therein, for blissful is the accumulation of good.
Gautama BuddhaHow can a troubled mind Understand the way? If a man is disturbed He will never be filled with knowledge. An untroubled mind, No longer seeking to consider What is right and what is wrong, A mind beyond judgements, Watches and understands. Know that the body is a fragile jar, And make a castle of your mind. In every trial Let understanding fight for you To defend what you have won.
Gautama Buddha
