Gautama Buddha

But if you do not find an intelligent companion, a wise and well-behaved person going the same way as yourself, then go on your way alone, like a king abandoning a conquered kingdom, or like a great elephant in the deep forest.

Buddha

Conquer a liar with truth.

Buddha

Conquer anger by love, evil by good; Conquer the miser with liberality, and the liar with truth.

Buddha

Conquer anger with non-anger. Conquer badness with goodness. Conquer meanness with generosity. Conquer dishonesty with truth.

Buddha

Contentment is the greatest wealth.

Buddha

Craving and desire are the cause of all unhappiness. Everything sooner or later must change, so do not become attached to anything. Instead devote.

Buddha

Crying with the wise is better than laughing with the fool.

Buddha

Do not carry with you your mistakes. Do not carry your cares. Travel on alone. Like an elephant in the forest.

Buddha

Do not give up your authority and follow blindly the will of others. This way will lead to only delusion.

Buddha

Do not say anything harsh: what you have said will be said back to you.

Buddha
