Collected Quotes from Buddha

Today's meditations.

clipped from www.brainyquote.com 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. He is able who thinks he is able. Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned. However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you if you do not act on upon them? It is better to travel well than to arrive. The mind is everything. What you think you become. The tongue like a sharp knife... Kills without drawing blood. The way is not in the sky. The way is in the heart. There has to be evil so that good can prove its purity above it. There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting. You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger. Work out your own salvation. Do not depend on others. Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.
