Like a lovely flower, full of color but lacking in fragrance, are the words of those who do not practice what they preach.Like a lovely flower full of color and fragrance are the words of those who practice what they preach.
Learn what is right; then teach it to others, as the wise do. Before trying to guide others be your own guide first. It is hard to learn to guide oneself.
~ The Dhammapada
One is not wise because he talks.They are wise who are patient and free from hate and fear.
~ The Dhammapada
Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think. Suffering follows an evil thought as the wheels of a cart follow the oxen that draw it.Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think.Joy follows a pure thought like a shadow that never leaves. . .
For hatred can never put an end to hatred; love alone can.
This is an unalterable law.
~The Dhammapada
