Buddha Quotes on Life – Wisdom for the Modern World

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.

Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind.

Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.

Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.

To keep the body in good health is a duty… otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.

You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger.

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.

Your work is to discover your world and then with all your heart give yourself to it.

In the end, only three things matter: how much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you.

An idea that is developed and put into action is more important than an idea that exists only as an idea.

The trouble is, you think you have time.

The quieter you become, the more you can hear.

Every morning we are born again. What we do today is what matters most.

You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.

No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.

He who loves 50 people has 50 woes; he who loves no one has no woes.

Buddha Quotes on Life – Wisdom for the Modern World part 2

Even death is not to be feared by one who has lived wisely.

There is no path to happiness; happiness is the path.

An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.

The tongue like a sharp knife… kills without drawing blood.

The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows.

Nothing can harm you as much as your own thoughts unguarded.

You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

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.

To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life; foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent.

Pain is certain, suffering is optional.

The mind is everything. What you think you become.

There is no fear for one whose mind is not filled with desires.

With our thoughts, we make the world.

The past is already gone, the future is not yet here. There’s only one moment for you to live.

Meditate. Live purely. Be quiet. Do your work with mastery. Like the moon, come out from behind the clouds! Shine.

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.

The trouble is, you think you have time.

Do not look for a sanctuary in anyone except yourself.

Your body is precious. It is our vehicle for awakening. Treat it with care.

The greatest prayer is patience.

There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.

When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.

The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly.

Each morning we are born again. What we do today matters most.

Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life.

Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.

It is better to travel well than to arrive.
