Divine Messages - 267 : Quotes from Speaking Tree

Some quotes from Speaking Tree by Gautam Buddha.

·       Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.

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

·       Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.

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

·       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.

·       To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.

·       There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.

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

·       The mind is everything. What you think you become.

·       To keep the body in good health is a duty... otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.

·       There is nothing more dreadful than the habit of doubt. Doubt separates people. It is a poison that disintegrates friendships and breaks up pleasant relations. It is a thorn that irritates and hurts; it is a sword that kills.

Some quotes from Speaking Tree by Gautam Buddha.

·       Your work is to discover your world and then with all your heart give yourself to it

·       Meditate. Live purely. Be quiet. Do your work with mastery. Like the moon, come out from behind the clouds!

·       The foot feels the foot when it feels the ground

·       To conquer oneself is a greater task than conquering others

·       You are the community now. Be a lamp for yourselves. Be your own refuge. Seek for no other.  All things must pass. Strive on diligently. Don’t give up

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

·       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.

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

·       The way is not in the sky. The way is in the heart.

·       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.

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