Gautama Buddha

A person writing at night may put out the lamp, but the words he has written will remain. It is the same with the destiny we create for ourselves in this world.

Buddha

All that we are is a result of what we have thought.

Buddha

Ambition is like love, impatient both of delays and rivals.

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

An outside enemy exists only if there is anger inside.

Buddha

Ardently do today what must be done. Who knows? Tomorrow, death comes.

Buddha

As a bee without harming the flower, its colour or scent, flies away, collecting only the honey, even so should the sage wander in the village.

Buddha

As a flower that is lovely and beautiful, but is scentless, even so fruitless is the well-spoken word of one who practices it not.

Buddha

As an irrigator guides water to his fields, as an archer aims an arrow, as a carpenter carves wood, the wise shape their lives.

Buddha

As one instructs others, So should one do oneself: Only the self-controlled should restrain others. Truly, it’s hard to restrain oneself.

Buddha
