Daily quote |
Buddha (Gautama Buddha)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. It is better to travel well than to arrive. Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life. 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. No matter how hard the past, you can always begin again. No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path. Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without. The foot feels the foot when it feels the ground. The mind is everything. What you think you become. |
