quotes by Buddha

Work out your own salvation. Do not depend on others.

If anything is worth doing, do it with all your heart.

One who conquers himself is greater than another who conquers a thousand times a thousand on the battlefield.

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

A good friend who points out mistakes and imperfections and rebukes evil is to be respected as if he reveals a secret of hidden treasure.

All wrong-doing arises because of mind. If mind is transformed can wrong-doing remain?

Believe nothing. No matter where you read it, or who said it, even if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.
