Wandering ascetic and religious teacher who lived in South Asia during the 6th or 5th century BCE and founded Buddhism
There is nothing more dreadful than the habit of doubt. Doubt separates people. It is a poison that disintegrates friendships and breaks up pleasant relations. It is a thorn that irritates and hurts; it is a sword that kill.
You cannot travel the path until you have become the path itself.
Your work is to discover your work and then with all your heart to give yourself to it.
To keep the body in good health is a duty...otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.
Your body is precious. It is our vehicle for awakening. Treat it with care.
You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger.
If you propose to speak, always ask yourself, is it true, is it necessary, is it kind.
It is better to travel well than to arrive.
Your worst enemy cannot harm you as much as your own unguarded thoughts.
The thought manifests as the word. The word manifests as the deed. The deed develops into habit. And the habit hardens into character.
