Unkind people spread malicious tales, and well-intentioned people also censure; but in either case the tranquil sage remains unconcerned. Nowhere is there to be found a disconcerted sage.
Gautama BuddhaFor the good of the many, for the happiness of the many, out of compassion for the world.
Gautama BuddhaA fool acquires knowledge only to his own disadvantage. It destroys what good he has, and turns his brains.
Gautama BuddhaNo clouds gathered in the skies and the polluted streams became clear, whilst celestial music rang through the air and the angels rejoiced with gladness. With no selfish or partial joy but for the sake of the law they rejoiced, for creation engulfed in the ocean of pain was now to obtain release.
Gautama Buddha
