If you see an intelligent man who tells you where true treasures are to be found, who shows what is to be avoided, and administers reproofs,follow that wise man ; it will be better, not worse, for those who follow him.
Gautama BuddhaAs irrigators lead water where they want, as archers make their arrows straight, as carpenters carve wood, the wise shape their minds.
Gautama BuddhaFor those who are always courteous and respectful of elders, four things increase: life, beauty, happiness and strength.
Gautama BuddhaWhen you know for yourselves, 'These things are wholesome; these things are blameless; these things are praised by the wise; these things, if undertaken and practiced, lead to welfare and happiness,' then you should engage in them.
Gautama Buddha
