Wandering ascetic and religious teacher who lived in South Asia during the 6th or 5th century BCE and founded Buddhism

All wrong-doing arises because of mind. If mind is transformed can wrong-doing remain?
When one has the feeling of dislike for evil, when one feels tranquil, one finds pleasure in listening to good teachings; when one has these feelings and appreciates them, one is free of fear.
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.
The foot feels the foot when it feels the ground.
A jug fills drop by drop.
Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.
If you light a lamp for somebody, it will also brighten your path.
Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life.
Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace.
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.
