Altruism quotes

Laozi quotes

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.

Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them - that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.

A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves.

If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.

Health is the greatest possession. Contentment is the greatest treasure. Confidence is the greatest friend. Non-being is the greatest joy.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.

Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.

Silence is a source of great strength.

Music in the soul can be heard by the universe.

When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everybody will respect you.

I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures.

Mastering others is strength. Mastering yourself is true power.

When the best leader's work is done the people say, 'We did it ourselves.'

Treat those who are good with goodness, and also treat those who are not good with goodness. Thus goodness is attained. Be honest to those who are honest, and be also honest to those who are not honest. Thus honesty is attained.

Truthful words are not beautiful; beautiful words are not truthful. Good words are not persuasive; persuasive words are not good.

Knowing others is wisdom, knowing yourself is Enlightenment.

Love is of all passions the strongest, for it attacks simultaneously the head, the heart and the senses.

Anticipate the difficult by managing the easy.

Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.

If you realize that all things change, there is nothing you will try to hold on to. If you are not afraid of dying, there is nothing you cannot achieve.

He who knows, does not speak. He who speaks, does not know.

Of all that is good, sublimity is supreme. Succeeding is the coming together of all that is beautiful. Furtherance is the agreement of all that is just. Perseverance is the foundation of all actions.


Laozi quotes

Buddha quotes

Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.

Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.

We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.

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.

To keep the body in good health is a duty... otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.

You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection.

The mind is everything. What you think you become.

No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.

There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.

However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you if you do not act on upon them?

The tongue like a sharp knife... Kills without drawing blood.

It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life.

Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind.

It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.

To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life; foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent.

We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.

You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger.

Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule.

It is better to travel well than to arrive.

Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace.


The best quotes of Buddha

Quotes about Clinical Depression

Giles Andreae

Do not brood over your past mistakes and failures as this will only fill your mind with grief, regret and depression. Do not repeat them in the future.
Swami Sivananda
