Goodwill toward all beings is the true religion; cherish in your hearts boundless goodwill to all that lives.
Gautama BuddhaNo one can escape death and unhappiness. If people expect only happiness in life, they will be disappointed.
Gautama BuddhaTo be selfish, greedy and unwilling to help the needy gives rise to future starvation and clothlessness.
Gautama BuddhaDo not accept anything simply because it has been said by your teacher, or because it has been written in your sacred books, or because it has been believed by many, or because it has been handed down by your ancestors. Accept and live only according to what will enable you to see truth face to face.
Gautama Buddha
