Here are some popular quotes and statements from Gautama Buddha.
We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.
Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.
The mind is everything. What you think you become.
We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
You only lose what you cling to.
Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.
It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.
All that we are is the result of what we have thought.
It is better to travel well than to arrive.
