Buddha

The Christ-symbol is of the greatest importance for psychology in so far as it is perhaps the most highly developed and differentiated symbol of the self, apart from the figure of the Buddha.

Carl Jung

I never see what has been done; I only see what remains to be done.

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

It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.

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

You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.

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.

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

Those who are free of resentful thoughts surely find peace.

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.

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.

It is better to travel well than to arrive.

What we think, we become.

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

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

Work out your own salvation. Do not depend on others.

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

Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life.

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.

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