One who, while seeking happiness, oppresses with violence other living beings who also desire happinesss, will not find happiness hereafter.
Gautama BuddhaTimes of luxury do not last long, but pass away very quickly; nothing in this world can be long enjoyed.
Gautama BuddhaIf you endeavor to embrace the Way through much learning, the Way will not be understood. If you observe the Way with simplicity of heart, great indeed is this Way.
Gautama BuddhaAn evil deed, like fresh milk, does not go bad suddenly. Smouldering, like fire covered by ashes, the evil deed follows the fool.
Gautama BuddhaWhat we are today comes from our thoughts of yesterday, and our present thoughts build our life of tomorrow: our life is the creation of our mind. If a man speaks or acts with an impure mind, suffering will follow him as the wheel of the cart follows the beast that draws the cart. If a man speaks or acts with a pure mind, joy follows him as his own shadow.
Gautama Buddha
