All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become. - Buddha

Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful. - Buddha

No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path. - Buddha

Teach this triple truth to all: A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity. - Buddha

You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger. - Buddha

Your work is to discover your world and then with all your heart give yourself to it. - Buddha
