If one man kills a hundred men, and another man masters himself, the second man is the much greater warrior.
Gautama BuddhaKeeping away for all evil deeds, cultivation of life by doing good deeds and purification of mind from mental impunities.
Gautama BuddhaAs a bee without harming the flower, its colour or scent, flies away, collecting only the honey, even so should the sage wander in the village.
Gautama BuddhaSurely if living creatures saw the results of all their evil deeds, they would turn away from them in disgust. But selfhood blinds them, and they cling to their obnoxious desires. They crave pleasure for themselves and they cause pain to others; when death destroys their individuality, they find no peace; their thirst for existence abides and their selfhood reappears in new births. Thus they continue to move in the coil and can find no escape from the hell of their own making.
Gautama Buddha
