Siddhartha Buddha Quotes and Sayings

Desire never crosses the path
Of virtuous and wakeful men.
You are the source
Of all purity and impurity.
Can you hide from your own mischief.
Not in the sky,
Not in the midst of the ocean,
Nor deep in the mountains,
Nowhere
Cross over to the father shore,
Beyond life and death.
Do your thoughts trouble you?
Does passion disturb you?
Beware of this thirstiness
Lest your wishes become desires
And desire binds you.
Quieten your mind.
If the traveller cannot find
Master or friend to go with him,
Let him travel alone
Rather than with a fool for company.
How easy it is to see your brother's faults,
How hard it is to face your own.
Gray hairs do not make a master.
A man may grow old in vain.
It is better to conquer yourself
Than to win a thousand battles.
Then the victory is yours.
It cannot be taken from you,
Not by angels or by demons,
Heaven or hell.
