To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life; foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent.
Gautama BuddhaThis life of separateness may be compared to a dream, a phantasm, a bubble, a shadow, a drop of dew, a flash of lightning.
Gautama BuddhaAnd he who lives a hundred years, idle and weak, a life of one day is better if a man has attained firm strength.
Gautama BuddhaDo not disregard the accumulation of goodness, saying, 'This will come to nothing.' By the gradual falling of raindrops, a jar is filled.
Gautama BuddhaIf beings knew, as I know, the results of sharing gifts, they would not enjoy their gifts without sharing them with others, nor would the taint of stinginess obsess the heart and stay there. even if it were their last and final bit of food, they would not enjoy its use without sharing it, if there were anyone to receive it
Gautama Buddha
