Gautama BuddhaWhen one feels no shame in telling a deliberate lie, there is no evil, I tell you, he will not do.

Gautama BuddhaA mind unruffled by the vagaries of fortune, from sorrow freed, from defilements cleansed, from fear liberated - this is the greatest blessing.
Gautama BuddhaThrough vigilance, restraint and control the wise will construct and island that no flood will overcome.
Gautama Buddha
