Daily dose of Inspiration - Part 25 of 30

Quotes by Buddha

1. All wrong-doing arises because of mind. If mind is transformed can wrong-doing remain? 

2. 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. 

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

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

5. Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule.

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

7. 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.

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

9. 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.

10.The tongue like a sharp knife... Kills without drawing blood. 

Cheers!
