As irrigators lead water where they want, as archers make their arrows straight, as carpenters carve wood, the wise shape their minds.
Gautama BuddhaYou must love yourself before you love another. By accepting yourself and fully being what you are, your simple presence can make others happy You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love & affection.
Gautama BuddhaTruths cannot be acquired from words out of other people's mouths. Before Truths can be internalized, they must come from one's own realizations and practices. Through a lifetime of personal practice, human beings are capable of revealing all of the secrets of the cosmic essence. You are your own best judge.
Gautama Buddha
