Buddha quotes

Lumbini, Lumbini Sanskritik, Nepal

• As a solid rock is not shaken by the wind, wise people falter not amidst blame and praise.

• All that we are is the result of what we have thought: it is founded on our thoughts, it is made up of our thoughts. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him.

• Let a man overcome anger by love, let him overcome evil by good; let him overcome the greedy by liberality, the liar by truth!

• Health is the greatest of gifts, contentedness the best riches; trust is the best of relationships, Nirvana the highest happiness.

• If one man conquer in battle a thousand times thousand men, and if another conquer himself, he is the greatest of conquerors.

• For hatred does not cease by hatred at any time: hatred ceases by love, this is an old rule.
