These quotes capture the profound teachings of Buddha, focusing on self-awareness, mindfulness, and the importance of taking responsibility for one's own thoughts, actions, and well-being. The recurring themes of non-attachment, inner peace, compassion, and self-mastery encourage a life of kindness, wisdom, and understanding.

“Rule your mind or it will rule you.” “The root of suffering is attachment.” “Nothing can harm you as much as your own thoughts unguarded." “Learn this from water: loud splashes the brook but the oceans depth are calm.” “Avoid evil deeds as a man who loves life avoids poison.” “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.” “Teach this triple truth to all: A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity.” "Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared." “However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you if you do not act on upon them?” “Every human being is the author of his own health or disease.” "Nothing is permanent.” “Set your heart on doing good. Do it over and over again and you will be filled with joy.” “True love is born from understanding.” "To keep the body in good health is a duty… otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear." “No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.”

Each of these lines speaks to universal truths about the human condition, reminding us that true happiness and suffering are shaped by our inner world, not external circumstances. They also stress the importance of mindfulness in managing our thoughts, avoiding harmful actions, and fostering compassion and generosity.

They align with the idea that true transformation comes from within and is cultivated through consistent, mindful action and self-compassion. Buddha's wisdom here reflects a path to inner peace and enlightenment, showing the way to live harmoniously with oneself and the world.
