Buddha

Be kind to all creatures; this is the true religion.

No matter how hard the past, you can always begin again.

Don’t rush anything. When the time is right, it’ll happen.

If anything is worth doing, do it with all your heart.

The whole secret of existence is to have no fear.

Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.

What about Jesus Christ? I say that he was a precursor of idealists; a precursor of socialists.

What you possess, you lose.

O Lord, help me to be pure, but not yet.

Nothing ever exists entirely alone. Everything is in relation to everything else.

God is the same everywhere.

An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind.

I don’t know if God exists, but it would be better for His reputation if He didn’t.

Only one thing is impossible for God: To find any sense in any copyright law on the planet.

I have a habit of running from the things I’ve prayed for and then asking God to send them again.

It is a naked city. Faith is not pampered, nor hope encouraged; there is no place to lay one’s exhaustion: but instead pinnacles skewer it undisguised against vacancy.

It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.

Which is it, is man one of God’s blunders or is God one of man’s?

The fact that more people have been slaughtered in the name of religion than any other single reason. That, that my friends, that is true perversion!

I respect faith, but doubt is what gets you an education.

Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.
