If a man going down into a river, swollen and swiftly flowing, is carried away by the current - how can he help others across?
Gautama BuddhaLet no person think lightly of good, saying in his or her heart, "it will not benefit me." As by the falling of raindrops a jar of water is filled, so the wise person becomes full of good, even though he or she collects it little by little.
Gautama BuddhaWe are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.
Gautama Buddha
