Gautama Buddha

Noble friends and companions are the whole of the holy life.

Buddha

Observe the life by cause and consequence. Explore the life by wisdom. Treat the life by equality. Complete the life by love.

Buddha

Of all the worldly passions, lust is the most intense. All other worldly passions seem to follow in its train.

Buddha

Of bones the city is made, Plastered with flesh and blood, Where decay and death are deposited, And pride, and ingratitude.

Buddha

On a long journey of human life, faith is the best of companions; it is the best refreshment on the journey; and it is the greatest property.

Buddha

One moment, ten thousand years. Ten thousand years, one moment.

Buddha

One way leads to acquisition, the other leads to nirvana. Realizing this a mon should take no pleasure in the respect of others, but should devote himself to solitude.

Buddha

Only he who crosses the stream of life wishes to know what is known as unknowable.

Buddha

Over there are the roots of trees; over there, empty dwellings. Practice jhana, monks. Don’t be heedless.

Buddha

Overcome the angry by non-anger; overcome the wicked by goodness; overcome the miser by generosity; overcome the liar by truth.

Buddha
