The wise ones fashioned speech with their thought, sifting it as grain is sifted through a sieve.
Gautama BuddhaYou are as the yellow leaf. The messengers of death are at hand. You are to travel far away. What will you take with you? You are the lamp To lighten the way. Then hurry, hurry. When your light shines.
Gautama BuddhaIf you know something hurtful and not true, don't say it. If you know something hurtful and true, don't say it. If you know something helpful but not true, don't say it. If you know something helpful and true, find the right time to say it.
Gautama BuddhaEasy to do are things that are bad and harmful to oneself. But exceedingly difficult to do are things that are good and beneficial.
Gautama Buddha
