Buddha [Gautama Siddharta], (563 - 483 BC), Founder of Buddhism Quotes
You are your own master and your own vacation resort; control yourself.
Overcoming yourself is better than overcoming a million enemies in battle.
Be master of mind rather than mastered by mind. You are your own master. You are the master and the way.
Do not neglect your own needs for someone else's... And recognize your needs so you will know what to do.
If you hold yourself dear, protect yourself well.
First direct yourself to what is right and then teach others.
Irrigators guide water; arrow-makers straighten arrows; carpenters bend wood; wise people shape themselves.
Do not live in the past, do not live in the future; concentrate the mind on the present moment.
'He insulted me, he cheated me, he beat me, and he robbed me' -- those who are free of resentful thoughts surely find peace.
To know your past and what has caused you, observe yourself in the present, since it is the effect of the past. To know your future, observe yourself in the present, since it is the cause the future.
