Buddha

Buddha made some amazing quotes, His way of thinking is very inspiring, at least to me! here are my favourite quotes by him, I try to learn from them:

 

"All that we are is the result of what we have thought."(He knew about the LAW OF ATTRACTION :-) ) 

"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."

 

"Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment."

 

"Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind."

 

"Even death is not to be feared by one who has lived wisely."

"Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship."

"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."

"However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you if you do not act on upon them?"

"I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act; but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act."

"In the sky, there is no distinction of east and west; people create distinctions out of their own minds and then believe them to be true."

   

"An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind."

 

"It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways."
 

"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."

thank you, Buddha!
