As the shadow follows the body,
as we think,
so we become.
~Buddha

Nothing is infallible.
Nothing is binding forever.
Every thing is subject to inquiry and examination.
~Buddha

Ye must leave righteous ways behind,
not to speak of unrighteous ways.
~Buddha

His success may be great,
but be it ever so great the wheel of fortune may turn again and bring him down into the dust.
~Buddha

The fool laughs at generosity.
The miser cannot enter Heaven.
But the master finds joy in giving and happiness is his reward.
~Buddha

The farmer channels water to his land.
The fletcher whittles his arrows.
And the carpenter turns his wood.
So the wise man directs his mind.
~Buddha

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