Buddha Quotes

"If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.""The way is not in the sky. The way is in the heart.""Just as a mother would protect her only child with her life, even so let one cultivate a boundless love towards all beings.""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.""She who knows life flows, feels no wear or tear, needs no mending or repair.""In separateness lies the world’s greatest misery; in compassion lies the world’s true strength.""Drop by drop is the water pot filled. Likewise, the wise man, gathering it little by little, fills himself with good.""Should you find a wise critic to point out your faults, follow him as you would a guide to hidden treasure.""Your work is to discover your work and then with all your heart to give yourself to it.""Nothing ever exists entirely alone; everything is in relation to everything else.""Don’t run after pleasure and neglect the practice of meditation. If you forget the goal of life and get caught in the pleasures of the world, you will come to envy those who put meditation first.""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.""An idea that is developed and put into action is more important than an idea that exists only as an idea.""Radiate boundless love towards the entire world.""Irrigators channel waters; fletchers straighten arrows; carpenters bend wood; the wise master themselves.""Not by rituals and resolutions, nor by much learning, nor by celibacy, nor even by meditation can you find the supreme, immortal joy of nirvana until you extinguish your self-will.""Kindness should become the natural way of life, not the exception.""Chaos is inherent in all compounded things. Strive on with diligence.""Our life is shaped by our mind. We become what we think. Joy follows a pure thought like a shadow that never leaves.""Just as a solid rock is not shaken by the storm, even so the wise are not affected by praise or blame."
