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.
Quotations
Gautama Buddha
Be determined. The Tempter masters the lazy and irresolute man who dwells on the attractive side of things, ungoverned in his senses, and unrestrained in his food, like the wind overcomes a rotten tree.
Do not dwell in the past; do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity.
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.
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.
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.
We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.
