Buddha

To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.

You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection.

Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule.

To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life; foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent.

The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows.

Without health life is not life; it is only a state of langour and suffering - an image of death.

Just as treasures are uncovered from the earth, so virtue appears from good deeds, and wisdom appears from a pure and peaceful mind. To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.

Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life.

Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.

To live a pure unselfish life, one must count nothing as one's own in the midst of abundance.
