His success may be great, but be it ever so great the wheel of fortune may turn again and bring him down into the dust.
Gautama BuddhaThis existence of ours is as transient as autumn clouds To watch the birth and death of beings is like looking at the movements of a dance. A lifetime is like a flash of lightning in the sky, Rushing by, like a torrent down a steep mountain.
Gautama BuddhaAny material form, or thought, or feeling, past or present, should be regarded as, 'This is not mine, this is not what I am, this is not my self.'
Gautama BuddhaMore than those who hate you, more than all your enemies, an undisciplined mind does greater harm.
Gautama Buddha
