Buddha

Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.

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

He is able who thinks he is able.

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.

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.

Work out your own salvation. Do not depend on others.

However many holy words you read, However many you speak, What good will they do you If you do not act on upon them?

In the sky, there is no distinction of east and west; people create distinctions out of their own minds and then believe them to be true.

It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

It is better to travel well than to arrive.

Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.

The foot feels the foot when it feels the ground.

Unity can only be manifested by the Binary. Unity itself and the idea of Unity are already two.

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

Rakeru disse...

"Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"

"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to" said the Cat.

"I don't much care where" - said Alice.

"Then it doesn't matter which way you go" - said the Cat.

"...so long as I get somewhere" - Alice added as an explanation.

"Oh, you're sure to do that.." - said the Cat "...if you only walk long enough."
