Some quotes from Speaking Tree by Gautam Buddha.
- Let yourself be open and life will be easier. A spoon of salt in a glass of water makes the water undrinkable. A spoon of salt in a lake is almost unnoticed
- Neither fire nor wind, birth nor death can erase our good deeds
- Look within, thou art the Buddha
- If you knew what I know about the power of giving, you would not let a single meal pass without sharing it in some way
- Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life
- 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
- Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without
- Work out your own salvation. Do not depend on others
- It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways
- 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
- To understand everything is to forgive everything
