Buddha quotes


....................................................................


All things appear and disappear because of the concurrence of causes and conditions. Nothing ever exists entirely alone; everything is in relation to everything else.


An idea that is developed and put into action is more important than an idea that exists only as an idea.


Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace.


Chaos is inherent in all compounded things. Strive on with diligence.


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


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


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


Have compassion for all beings, rich and poor alike; each has their suffering. Some suffer too much, others too little.


He is able who thinks he is able.

Happy Gandhi's Birthday quotes!


...................................................................

*Mahatma Gandhi quotes:*

Honest disagreement is often a good sign of progress.


I believe in equality for everyone, except reporters and photographers.


I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent.


I want freedom for the full expression of my personality.


In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in a clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness. Our life is a long and arduous quest after Truth.


Indolence is a delightful but distressing state; we must be doing something to be happy.


It is unwise to be too sure of one's own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err.


When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it--always.


You must be the change you want to see in the world.


Victory attained by violence is tantamount to a defeat, for it is momentary.


An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.
