The mind precedes all things, the mind dominates all things, the mind creates all things.
Gautama BuddhaAn unreflective mind is a poor roof. Passion, like the rain, floods the house. But if the roof is strong, there is shelter. Whoever follows impure thoughts Suffers in this world and the next. In both worlds he suffers And how greatly.
Gautama Buddha'Wherefore, brethren, thus must ye train yourselves : Liberation of the will through love will develop, we will often practice it, we will make it vehicle and base, take our stand upon it, store it up, throughly set it going.'
Gautama BuddhaJust as the bee takes the nectar and leaves without damaging the color or scent of the flowers, so should the sage act in a village.
