Gautama Buddha

Let the wise guard their thoughts, which are difficult to perceive, extremely subtle, and wander at will. Thought which is well guarded is the bearer of happiness.

Buddha

Let them not do the slightest thing that the wise would later reprove.

Buddha

Let us live in joy, never falling sick like those who hate us. Let us live in freedom, without hatred even among those who hate.

Buddha

Let us live most happily, free from hatred in the midst of the hateful; Let us remain free from hatred in the midst of people who hate.

Buddha

Let your diet be spare, your wants moderate, your needs few. So, living modestly, with no distracting desires, you will find content.

Buddha

Like a caring mother holding and guarding the life of her only child, so with a boundless heart of loving kindness, hold yourself and all beings as your beloved children.

Buddha

Long is the night to him who is awake; long is a mile to him who is tired; long is life to the foolish who do not know the true law.

Buddha

Look not for refuge to anyone beside yourself. Heed fast to the truth as a lamp.

Buddha

Look not to the faults of others, nor to their omissions and commissions. But rather look to your own acts, to what you have done and left undone.

Buddha

Look upon him who shows you your faults as a revealer of treasure: seek his company who checks and chides you, the sage who is wise in reproof: it fares well and not ill with him who seeks such company.

Buddha
