Just as the great oceans have but one taste, the taste of salt, so too there is but one taste fundamental to all true teachings of the way, and this is the taste of freedom.

Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful.

Let yourself be open and life will be easier. A spoon of salt in a glass of water makes the water undrinkable. A spoon of salt in a lake is almost unnoticed.

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

Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.

Teach this triple truth to all: A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity.

The mind is everything. What you think you become.

The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly.

The way is not in the sky. The way is in the heart.

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

Whatever words we utter should be chosen with care for people will hear them and be influenced by them for good or ill.

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

When you realize how perfect everything is you will tilt your head back and laugh at the sky.

You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.

What we think, we become.

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

It is better to travel well than to arrive.

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.

He is able who thinks he is able.

An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.

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

Buddha


 

 
 Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.

Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat.

Do not think that love, in order to be genuine, has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired.

Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person.

Each one of them is Jesus in disguise.

Even the rich are hungry for love, for being cared for, for being wanted, for having someone to call their own.

Everytime you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.

God doesn't require us to succeed; he only requires that you try.

Good works are links that form a chain of love.

I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world.

I do not pray for success, I ask for faithfulness.

I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.

I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much.

I try to give to the poor people for love what the rich could get for money. No, I wouldn't touch a leper for a thousand pounds; yet I willingly cure him for the love of God.

I want you to be concerned about your next door neighbor. Do you know your next door neighbor?

If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.

If we want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.

If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one.

If you judge people, you have no time to love them.

If you want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.

Mother Teresa

 

Juste au moment où les grands océans ont seulement un goût, le goût de sel, ainsi il y a qu'un goût fondamental pour tous les vrais enseignements de la voie et c'est le goût de liberté.

Permettez-nous de vous lever et être reconnaissants, car si nous n'avons pas appris beaucoup aujourd'hui, au moins nous avons appris un peu et si nous n'avons pas appris un peu, au moins nous ne sommes pas tombés malades et si nous sommes tombés malades, au moins nous ne sommes pas morts; ainsi, permettez à nous tous d'être reconnaissants.

Permettez-y d'être ouverts et la vie sera plus facile. Une cuillère de sel dans un verre d'eau rend de l'eau non potable. Une cuillère de sel dans un lac est inaperçue presque.

Personne ne nous sauve, mais nous-mêmes. Personne ne peut et personne ne peut. Nous nous-mêmes devons marcher le sentier.

La paix vient de l'intérieur. Ne le cherchez pas sans.

Enseignez cette triple vérité à tous : un coeur généreux, un discours gentil et une vie de service et de compassion sont les choses qui renouvellent l'humanité.

L'esprit est tout. Ce que vous croyez que vous devenez.

Le secret de santé tant pour l'esprit que pour le corps n'est pas de porter le deuil pour le passé, le souci de l'avenir, ou prévoir des problèmes, mais vivre dans le moment donné sagement et sérieusement.

La voie n'est pas dans le ciel. La voie est dans le coeur.

Des milliers de bougies peuvent être allumés d'une bougie simple et la vie de la bougie ne sera pas raccourcie. Le bonheur ne diminue jamais étant partagé.

Quoi que les mots que nous prononçons devraient être choisis avec le soin des gens les entendra et sera sous l'influence d'eux pour le meilleur ou pour le pire.

Nous sommes formés par nos pensées; nous devenons ce que nous pensons. Quand l'esprit est pur, la joie suit comme une ombre que cela ne quitte jamais.

Quand vous réalisez comment parfait tout est vous penchera votre tête en arrière et rira du ciel.

Vous vous-même, autant que quelqu'un dans l'univers entier, méritez votre amour et affection.
