Gautama Buddha

Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.

Gautama Buddha

What we think, we become.

Buddha

Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.

Buddha

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

Buddha

Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life.

Buddha

Without health life is not life; it is only a state of langour and suffering - an image of death.

Buddha

Just as treasures are uncovered from the earth, so virtue appears from good deeds, and wisdom appears from a pure and peaceful mind. To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.

Buddha

The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows.

Buddha

To live a pure unselfish life, one must count nothing as one's own in the midst of abundance.

Buddha

You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.

Buddha

You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection.

Buddha

Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule.

Buddha

Even death is not to be feared by one who has lived wisely.

Buddha

When one has the feeling of dislike for evil, when one feels tranquil, one finds pleasure in listening to good teachings; when one has these feelings and appreciates them, one is free of fear.

Buddha

A woman of the world is anxious to exhibit her form and shape, whether walking, standing, sitting, or sleeping. Even when represented as a picture, she desires to captivate with the charms of her beauty and, thus, to rob men of their steadfast heart.

Buddha

Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else you are the one who gets burned.

Buddha

In a controversy the instant we feel anger we have already ceased striving for the truth, and have begun striving for ourselves.

Buddha

You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger.

Buddha

To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent.

Buddha

Without health life is not life it is only a state of langour and suffering - an image of death.

Buddha

To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.

Buddha

When one has the feeling of dislike for evil, when one feels tranquil, one finds pleasure in listening to good teachings when one has these feelings and appreciates them, one is free of fear.

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

There has to be evil so that good can prove its purity above it.

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

To keep the body in good health is a duty... otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.

Buddha

Whatever words we utter should be chosen with care for people will hear them and be influenced by them for good or ill.

Buddha

Virtue is persecuted more by the wicked than it is loved by the good.

Buddha

The virtues, like the Muses, are always seen in groups. A good principle was never found solitary in any breast.

Buddha
