Quotes - Buddha

I find quotes remind me of what I already know and practise but sometimes days can go by before I think about what I’ve done and how I have behaved towards others. Reading quotes like these remind me to be the type of person I want to be.

We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our

thoughts, we make the world. ~ Buddha

All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If a man speaks or acts

with an evil thought, pain follows him. If a man speaks or acts with a pure

thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him. ~ Buddha

Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have

said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense. ~

Buddha

Every human being is the author of his own health or disease. ~ Buddha

He is able who thinks he is able. ~ Buddha

No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must

walk the path. ~ Buddha

On life's journey faith is nourishment, virtuous deeds are a shelter, wisdom is

the light by day and right mindfulness is the protection by night. If a man lives a

pure life, nothing can destroy him. ~ Buddha

Teach this triple truth to all: A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity. ~ Buddha

The mind is everything. What you think you become. ~ Buddha

The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, nor to worry about the future, but to live the present moment wisely and earnestly. ~ Buddha

You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger. ~
Buddha
