Buddha

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

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

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

It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.

The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows.

Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.

It is better to travel well than to arrive.

To keep the body in good health is a duty... otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.

The tongue like a sharp knife... Kills without drawing blood.
