A liar lies to himself as well as to the gods. Lying is the origin of all evils; it leads to rebirth in the miserable planes of existence, to breach of the pure precepts, and to corruption of the body.
-Maharatnakuta Sutra 27

What are the traits of an awakened person? First, his comings and goings are
only as per his wish. Second, no reason of the outside world can influence him
and third, whatever he is once determined to do, he breathes only when it is
brought to fruition.
-Deep Trivedi
The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein.
-Bible
Even a mistake may turn out to be the one thing necessary to a worthwhile achievement.
-Henry Ford
No person can do this or that to keep another from being truly free. We are always free. Even if imprisoned.
-Leigh LaValle
All men are children, and of one family. The same tale sends them all to bed, and wakes them in the morning.
-Henry David Thoreau
"Truth" is not an act done at the physical level or an act performed driven by
emotions. Truth is the outcome of that particular action. If someone has used
abusive language for your betterment, then how did he abuse you?... He has
only desired a positive change in you.
-Deep Trivedi
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.
-Gautama Buddha
