Wandering ascetic and religious teacher who lived in South Asia during the 6th or 5th century BCE and founded Buddhism
You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.
Happiness comes when your work and words are of benefit to yourself and others.
Every human being is the author of his own health or disease.
Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind.
No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.
The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, nor to worry about the future, but to live the present moment wisely and earnestly.
Work out your own salvation. Do not depend on others.
The mind is everything. What you think you become.
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.
