A philosopher, mendicant, religious leader and spiritual teacher, Gautama Buddha who lived in India between the 6th and 4th century BC, is regarded as one of the most influential icons ever in the world. He founded the Buddhism religion and motivated thousands of people to walk in the right path of life. In Sanskrit, 'Buddha' means "a person who is awake" and the following quotes by Gautama Buddha will help you avoid all the illusions of life and live a peaceful life.
"No one can save us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We must walk the path alone."
"Purity and impurity depend on oneself, no one can purify another."
"Endurance is one of the most difficult disciplines, but it is to the one who endures that the final victory comes."
"We are shaped by our thoughts, we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow."
"Better than a thousand hollow words is one that brings peace."
"If you find no one to support you on the spiritual path, walk alone."
"A jug fills drop by drop."
"Every morning we are born again. What we do today is what matters most."
"Don't respond to rudeness. When people are rude to you, they reveal who they are, not who you are. Don't take it personally, be silent."
"Your work is to discover your world and then with all your heart give yourself to it."
"Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without."
"A dog is not considered a good dog because he is a good barker. A man is not considered a good man because he is a good talker."
"Judge nothing, you will be happy. Forgive everything, you will be happier. Love everything, you will be happiest."
"Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared."
"There is no fire like lust and no crime like hatred. There is no ill like the aggregates of existence and no peace higher than the peace of Nirvana."
"Even death is not to be feared by one who has lived wisely."
"True love is born from understanding."
"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."
Buddha was a man of great philosophy. So, keep all his words in your mind and enjoy the beauty of life.
