The Best of Buddha

My favorite Buddha: Quotes, Sayings, Teachings:

1) There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth;  

    not going all the way, and not starting.

2) 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.

3) You will not be punished for your anger,

    you will be punished by your anger.

4) Do not believe in anything because you have heard it

  Do not believe in anything because it is spoken by many.

  Do not believe in anything because it is written in religious books. 

  Do not believe in anything on the authority of your teachers.

  Do not believe in traditions just because they have been handed down.

5) Friendship is the only cure for hatred, the only guarantee of peace.

6) If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change.

7) We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. 
    With our thoughts, we make our world.


8) Love can never possess. Love is giving freedom to the other. Love is an unconditional gift, it is not a 
    bargain. 


9) The quieter you become, the more you are able to hear. 


And my very favorite... 

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