You cannot travel the path until you have become the path itself

Buddha

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

On a long journey of human life, faith is the best of companions it is the best refreshment on the journey and it is the greatest property.

Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace.

Endurance is one of the most difficult disciplines, but it is to the one who endures that the final victory comes.

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

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

Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.

The whole secret of existence is to have no fear. Never fear what will become of you, depend on no one. Only the moment you reject all help are you freed.

A family is a place where minds come in contact with one another. If these minds love one another the home will be as beautiful as a flower garden. But if these minds get out of harmony with one another it is like a storm that plays havoc with the garden.

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

We are shaped by our thoughts. We become what we think.

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.

He is able who thinks he is able.

He who loves 50 people has 50 woes, he who loves no one has no woes.

If a man's mind becomes pure, his surroundings will also become pure.

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.

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.

Let a man avoid evil deeds as a man who loves life avoids poison.

Of all the worldly passions, lust is the most intense. All other worldly passions seem to follow in its train.

On life's journey faith is nourishment, virtuous deeds are a shelter, wisdom is the light by day and right mindfulness is the protection by night. If a man lives a pure life, nothing can destroy him.
