We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery, we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness.

Happiness is like a butterfly.
The more you chase it, the more it eludes you.
But if you turn your attention to other things,
It comes and sits softly on your shoulder.

Peace is not something you wish for,
it is something you make,
something you are, something you do,
and something you give away.

Our job is to love others without stopping to inquire whether or not they are worthy…this love itself will render both ourselves and our neighbors worthy.

Like a beautiful flower,
full of colour, but without scent,
are the fine but fruitless words
of those who do not act accordingly.
But like a beautiful flower,
full of colour and full of scent,
are the fine and fruitful words
of those who do act accordingly.

Life seems easy for one who is shameless,
who is a crowing hero, a mischief-maker,
an insulting, impudent, and corrupt person.
But life seems difficult for one who is modest,
who always looks for what is pure,
who is detached, quiet, clear, and intelligent.

Do not speak anything harsh. 
Those who are spoken to will answer you. 
Angry talk is painful, and retaliation will touch you. 
If you make yourself as still as a broken gong, 
you have attained nirvana, for anger is not known to you.

His whole life for Buddhism
I miss him, but why should I cry?

Realizing that death is inevitable, the one who loves life on earth will go into a devout prayer expressing the hope that his soul will survive in heaven. No man can be happy in such a tempest of fear and hope. Yet it is hard to despise or ignore these manifestations of the instinct for self-preservation. There is however a method of overcoming this fear. Forget the concept of self; turn one’s love of the inward outwards, i.e. provide humanitarian service and to shower love on others. Whoever constantly keeps in mind the fact that he would someday be subjected to death and that death is inevitable, would be eager to fulfill his duties to his fellow human beings before death, and this would certainly make him heedful in respect of this world and the next. Being engrossed in service to others, you will soon release yourself from the heavy selfish attachments, hopes, vanity, pride and self-righteousness.

Whoever does wrong to an innocent person 
or to one who is pure and harmless, 
the wrong returns to that fool 
just like fine dust thrown against the wind.
