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.
Quotations
Gautama Buddha
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.
There are two mistakes one can make along the road to truth...not going all the way, and not starting.
A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity.
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.
Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn’t learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn’t learn a little, at least we didn’t get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn’t die; so, let us all be thankful.
We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.
