We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.
Buddha

We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.
Buddha

What is the appropriate behavior for a man or a woman in the midst of this world, where each person is clinging to his piece of debris? What’s the proper salutation between people as they pass each other in this flood?
Buddha

What we think, we become.
Buddha

Whatever words we utter should be chosen with care for people will hear them and be influenced by them for good or ill.
Buddha

When one has the feeling of dislike for evil, when one feels tranquil, one finds pleasure in listening to good teachings; when one has these feelings and appreciates them, one is free of fear.
Buddha

Without health life is not life; it is only a state of langour and suffering – an image of death.
Buddha

Work out your own salvation. Do not depend on others.
Buddha

However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you If you do not act on upon them?
Budda

Words have the power to both destroy and heal. When words are both true and kind, they can change our world.
Budda

Teach this triple truth to all: A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity.
Budda

Virtue is persecuted more by the wicked than it is loved by the good.
Budda

I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act; but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act.
Buddha

It is a man’s own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.
Buddha

A jug fills drop by drop.
Buddha

An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.
Buddha

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
Buddha

Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind.
Buddha

Every human being is the author of his own health or disease.
Buddha

Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule.
Buddha

Have compassion for all beings, rich and poor alike; each has their suffering. Some suffer too much, others too little.
Buddha
