Buddha

I am not what you think I am. You are what you think I am.

The trouble is, you think you have time.

If you want to fly, give up everything that weighs you down.

Anger is a hot coal you hold in your hand while waiting to throw it at someone else.

If you light a lamp for somebody, it will also brighten your path.

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

You don’t have a Soul. You are a soul. You have a body.

Whatever you feel, you become. It is your responsibility.

All that we are is the result of what we have thought

Be where you are; otherwise you will miss your life.

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

He who walks in the eightfold noble path with unswerving determination is sure to reach Nirvana.

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.

There is no austerity equal to a balanced mind, and there is no happiness equal to contentment; there is no disease like covetousness, and no virtue like mercy.

We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.

It is better to travel well than to arrive.

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

No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.

Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind.

Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.

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.

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

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.

Crave for a thing, you will get it. Renounce the craving, the object will follow you by itself.

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

If a man achieves victory over this body, who in the world can exercise power over him? He who rules himself rules over the whole world.

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

When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when character is lost, all is lost.

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

The mind is everything. What you think you become.

Don't cling to things because everything is impermanent.

Change is never painful, only the resistance to change is painful.

What we think, we become.

The root of suffering is attachment.
