Be a lamp to yourself. Be your own confidence. Hold on to the truth within yourself as to the only truth.
Gautama BuddhaBe quick to do good. If you are slow, The mind, delighting in mischief, Will catch you. Turn away from mischief. Again and again, turn away. Before sorrow befalls you. Set your heart on doing good. Do it over and over again, And you will be filled with joy. A fool is happy Until his mischief turns against him. And a good man may suffer Until his goodness flowers. Do not make light of your failings, Saying, 'What are they to me?' A jug fills drop by drop.
Gautama BuddhaWhoever has done harmful actions but later covers them up with good is like the moon which, freed from clouds, lights up the world.
Gautama BuddhaThere is nothing so disobedient as an undisciplined mind, and there is nothing so obedient as a disciplined mind.
Gautama BuddhaBelieve not because some old manuscripts are produced, believe not because it is your national belief, believe not because you have been made to believe from you childhood, but reason truth out, and after you have analyzed it, then if you find it will do good to one and all, believe it, live up to it and help others live up to it.
Gautama Buddha
