Gautama 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?

Buddha

I will purify my bodily actions through repeated reflection. I will purify my verbal actions through repeated reflection. I will purify my mental actions through repeated reflection. That’s how you should train yourself.

Buddha

If a man’s mind becomes pure, his surroundings will also become pure.

Buddha

If you are poor, live wisely. If you have riches, live wisely. It is not your station in life but your heart that brings blessings.

Buddha

If you find someone with wisdom, good judgment, and good actions; make him a companion.

Buddha

If you have done good, set your mind upon it so that it may be repeated over and over again. Allow yourself to be pleased by good. Accumulating good is joyful.

Buddha

If you hold yourself dear, protect yourself well.

Buddha

If you light a lamp for somebody, it will also brighten your path.

Buddha

In separateness lies the world’s greatest misery; in compassion lies the world’s true strength.

Buddha

It is because of their tranquil thoughts that creatures go to prosperity.

Buddha
