Teachings by Gautam Buddha

"Some do not understand that we must die, but those who do realize this settle their quarrels." - Gautam Buddha.
"Drop by drop is the water pot filled. Likewise, the wise man, gathering it little by little, fills himself with good." - Gautam Buddha.
"It is easy to see the faults of others, but difficult to see one's own faults. One shows the faults of others like chaff winnowed in the wind, but one conceals one's own faults as a cunning gambler conceals his dice." - Gautam Buddha.
"Health is the greatest gift, contentment is the greatest wealth." - Gautam Buddha.
"It seems that although we thought ourselves permanent, we are not. Although we thought ourselves settled, we are not. Although we thought we would last forever, we will not." - Gautam Buddha.
"The past is already gone, the future is not yet here. There's only one moment for you to live." - Gautam Buddha.
"Hatred does not cease through hatred at any time. Hatred ceases through love. This is an unalterable law." - Gautam 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." - Gautam Buddha.
"No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path." - Gautam Buddha.
"The tongue like a sharp knife...kills without drawing blood." - Gautam Buddha.
"If you knew what I know about the power of giving you would not let a single meal pass without sharing it in some way." - Gautam Buddha.
"It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you." - Gautam Buddha.
