To conquer oneself is a greater task than conquering others
Shakyamuni philosopher, teacher and religious leader on whose teachings Buddhism was founded.
Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without
Your body is precious. It is our vehicle for awakening. Treat it with care
Holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die
Avoid evil deeds as a man who loves life avoids poison
To abstain from lying is essentially wholesome
The tongue like a sharp knife… Kills without drawing blood
Fear not death for the sooner we die, the longer we shall be immortal
Intelligence is based on how efficient a species became at doing the things they need to survive
Nothing hurts a good soul and a kind heart more than to live amongst people who cannot understand it
The snake which cannot cast its skin has to die. As well the minds which are prevented from changing their opinions; they cease to be mind
I have never considered myself a poet. I have no interest in poetic artistry
Most men seem to live according to sense rather than reason
