Earnestness is the path of immortality,
thoughtlessness the path of death.
Those who are in earnest do not die,
those who are thoughtless are as if dead already.
thoughtlessness the path of death.
Those who are in earnest do not die,
those who are thoughtless are as if dead already.

Buddha
| Select Buddha Quotations |
Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace. No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path. Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.
