BUDDHISM

For things to reveal themselves to us, we need to be ready to abandon our views about them.
~ Buddha

Have compassion for all beings, rich and poor alike; each has their suffering. Some suffer too much, others too little.
~ Buddha

We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.
~ Buddha

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.
~ Buddha

The roots of all goodness lie in the soil of appreciation for goodness.
~ Buddha

You cannot travel on the path until you become the path itself.
~ Buddha

It is easy to see the faults of others, but difficult to see one’s own faults. One shows the faults of others like chaff winnowed in the wind, but one conceals one’s own faults as a cunning gambler conceals his dice.
~ Buddha

One who conquers himself is greater than another who conquers a thousand times a thousand on the battlefield.
~ Buddha

To conquer oneself is a greater task than conquering others.
~ Buddha

You know it comes down to this – We can’t change our circumstances but we can choose our attitude, we can’t control others but we can control ourselves!
