To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.

— Buddha

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

Virtue is persecuted more by the wicked than it is loved by the good.

— Buddha

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

— Buddha

When one has the feeling of dislike for evil, when one feels tranquil, one finds pleasure in listening to good teachings; when one has these feelings and appreciates them, one is free of fear.

— Buddha

With fools, there is no companionship. Rather than to live with men who are selfish, vain, quarrelsome, and obstinate, let a man walk alone.

— Buddha

Without health life is not life it is only a state of languor and suffering - an image of death.

— Buddha

Work out your own salvation. Do not depend on others.

— Buddha

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.

— Buddha

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

— Buddha
