Quotations
Gautama Buddha

Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who has said it, not even if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.

Do not dwell in the past; do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
There are ways from light into darkness and from darkness into light. There are ways, also, from the gloom into deeper darkness, and from the dawn into brighter light. The wise man will use the light he has to receive more light. He will constantly advance in the knowledge of truth.
A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity.
