- With fools, there is no companionship. Rather than to live with men who are selfish, vain, quarrelsome, and obstinate, let a man walk alone. – Buddha
- When one has the feeling of dislike for evil, when one feels tranquil, one finds pleasure in listening to good teachings; when one has these feelings and appreciates them, one is free of fear. – Buddha
- Unity can only be manifested by the Binary. Unity itself and the idea of Unity are already two. – Buddha
- A woman of the world is anxious to exhibit her form and shape, whether walking, standing, sitting, or sleeping. Even when represented as a picture, she desires to captivate with the charms of her beauty and, thus, to rob men of their steadfast heart. – Buddha
- Chaos is inherent in all compounded things. Strive on with diligence. – Buddha
- In a controversy the instant we feel anger we have already ceased striving for the truth, and have begun striving for ourselves. – Buddha
- The wise ones fashioned speech with their thought, sifting it as grain is sifted through a sieve. – Buddha
- Let my skin and sinews and bones dry up, together with all the flesh and blood of my body! I welcome it! But I will not move from this spot until I have attained the supreme and final wisdom. – Buddha
- I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act; but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act. – Buddha
- He who gives away shall have real gain. He who subdues himself shall be free; he shall cease to be a slave of passions. The righteous man casts off evil, and by rooting out lust, bitterness, and illusion do we reach Nirvana. – Buddha
