Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today,
at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at
least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die;
so, let us all be thankful.
--Buddha
What we think, we become.
--Buddha
Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others.
He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind.
--Buddha (B.C. 568-488)
The whole secret of existence is to have no fear.
Never fear what will become of you, depend on no one.
Only the moment you reject all help are you freed.
--Buddha (B.C. 568-488)
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
Neither fire nor wind, birth nor death can erase our good deeds.
--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 (B.C.E. 568-488)
Words have the power to both destroy and heal.
When words are both true and kind, they can change our world.
--Buddha
Anger will never disappear so long as thoughts of resentment
are cherished in the mind. Anger will disappear just as soon
as thoughts of resentment are forgotten.
--Buddha
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future,
concentrate the mind on the present moment.
--Buddha
Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal
with the intent of throwing it at someone else;
you are the one getting burned.
--Buddha
Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others.
He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind.
--Buddha
