You will not be punished for your anger; you will be punished by your anger.
Quotations
Gautama Buddha
All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If you speak or act with an evil thought, pain follows. If you speak or act with a pure thought, happiness follows, like a shadow that never leaves.
A family is a place where minds come in contact with one another. If these minds love one another the home will be as beautiful as a flower garden. But if these minds get out of harmony with one another it is like a storm that plays havoc with the garden.
In the sky, there is no distinction of east and west; people create distinctions out of their own minds and then believe them to be true.
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.
From craving is born grief, from craving is born fear. For one freed from craving there’s no grief – so how fear?
I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act; but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act.
Develop a mind of equilibrium. You will always be getting praise and blame, but do not let either affect poise of mind: follow calmness, the absence of pride.
