Better it is to live one day seeing the rise and fall of things than to live a hundred years without ever seeing the rise and fall of things.
Gautama BuddhaLike a lovely flower full of color but lacking in fragrance, are the words of those who do not practice what they teach.
Gautama BuddhaWhen faced with the vicissitudes of life, one's mind remains unshaken, sorrow-less, stainless, secure; this is the greatest welfare
Gautama BuddhaJust as a line drawn on water with a stick will quickly vanish and will not last long; even so, brahmins, is human life like a line drawn on water. It is short, limited, and brief; it is full of suffering. One should do good and live a pure life; for none who is born can escape death.
Gautama Buddha
