[The Buddha]

To have much learning and skill, to be well-trained in discipline, and good in speech — this is the highest blessing.

[The Buddha]

Better it is to live one day seeing the rise and fall of things than to live a hundred years without ever seeing the rise and fall of things.

[The Buddha]

Your worst enemy cannot harm you as much as your own unguarded thoughts.

[The Buddha]

‘As I am, so are they; as they are, so am I.’ Comparing others with oneself, do not kill nor cause others to kill.

[The Buddha]

Just as a solid rock is not shaken by the storm, even so the wise are not affected by praise or blame.

[The Buddha]

A disciplined mind brings happiness.

[The Buddha]

Those who are free of resentful thoughts surely find peace.

[The Buddha]

Some do not understand that we must die, But those who do realize this settle their quarrels.

[The Buddha]

As an elephant in the battlefield withstands arrows shot from bows all around, even so shall I endure abuse.

[The Buddha]

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

[The Buddha]

Much though he recites the sacred texts, but acts not accordingly, that heedless man is like a cowherd who only counts the cows of others

[The Buddha]

You yourself must strive. The Buddhas only point the way.

[The Buddha]

‘As I am, so are these. As are these, so am I.’ Drawing the parallel to yourself, neither kill nor get others to kill.

[The Buddha]

Meditation brings wisdom, lack of meditation leaves ignorance. Know well what leads you forward and what holds you back and choose the path that leads to wisdom.

[The Buddha]

By oneself is evil done; by oneself is one defiled. By oneself is evil left undone; by oneself is one made pure.
