As the bee collects nectar and departs without injuring the flower, or its color or fragrance, so let the sage dwell on earth.
Gautama BuddhaBy taking these three steps you will get closer to the Gods: First, Say the Truth. Second: Don't let you get Angry. Third: Give, even though you have so little to give.
Gautama BuddhaDo not be the judge of people; do not make assumptions about others. A person is destroyed by holding judgments about others.
Gautama BuddhaIf you sleep, Desire grows in you Like a vine in the forest. Like a monkey in the forest You jump from tree to tree, Never finding the fruit - From life to life, Never finding peace. If you are filled with desire Your sorrows swell Like the grass after the rain. But if you subdue desire Your sorrows shall fall from you Like drops of water from a lotus flower.
Gautama Buddha
