Our own worst enemy cannot harm us as much as our unwise thoughts. No one can help us as much as our own compassionate thoughts.
Gautama BuddhaThe number of those endowed with human life is as small as the amount of earth one can place on a fingernail. Life as a human being is hard to sustain--as hard as it is for the dew to remain on the grass. But it is better to live a single day with honor than to live to 120 and die in disgrace.
Gautama BuddhaAs the bee collects nectar and departs without injuring the flower, or its color or fragrance, so let the sage dwell on earth.
Gautama BuddhaTo be selfish, greedy and unwilling to help the needy gives rise to future starvation and clothlessness.
Gautama Buddha
