********************
Endurance is one of the most difficult disciplines, but it is to the one who
endures that the
final victory comes.
Buddha
Every human being is the author of his own health or disease.
Buddha
Friendship is the only cure for hatred, the only guarantee of peace.
Buddha
Good men and bad men differ radically. Bad men never appreciate kindness shown
them,
but wise men appreciate and are grateful. Wise men try to express their
appreciation and
gratitude by some return of kindness, not only to their benefactor, but to
everyone else.
Buddha
Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule.
Buddha
He is able who thinks he is able.
Buddha
He who loves 50 people has 50 woes; he who loves no one has no woes.
Buddha
Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the
best
relationship.
Buddha
His success may be great, but be it ever so great the wheel of fortune may turn
again and
bring him down into the dust.
Buddha
Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it
at someone
else; you are the one who gets burned.
Buddha
If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would
change.
Buddha
It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.
Buddha
It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the
victory is yours.
It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.
Buddha
It is nature's law that rivers wind, trees grow wood, and, given the
opportunity, women
work iniquity.
Buddha
Sutta-Pitaka
Let a man avoid evil deeds as a man who loves life avoids poison.
Buddha
Let yourself be open and life will be easier. A spoon of salt in a glass of
water makes the
water undrinkable. A spoon of salt in a lake is almost unnoticed.
Buddha
Neither fire nor wind, birth nor death can erase our good deeds.
Buddha
Never in this world can hatred be stilled by hatred; it will be stilled by
non-hatred - this is
the law Eternal.
Buddha
Nothing is permanent.
Buddha
