Buddha says:

A jug fills drop by drop.

Peace comes from within. Do not seek it from without.

We are what we think. With our thoughts, we make the world.

He is able who thinks he is able.

To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, and to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's mind.

It is better to travel well than arrive.

The foot feels the foot when it feels the ground.

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

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

There is nothing more terrible than the habit of doubt. Doubt separates people. It is a poison that ruins friendships and breaks up pleasant relations. It is a thorn that irritates and hurts. 
It is a sword that kills.

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

The secret of health for mind and body is not to mourn for the past, nor to worry about the future, 
but to live the present moment wisely and earnestly.

Every human being is the author of his own health or disease.

I do not believe in a fate that falls on people however they act. 
But I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act.

All things appear and disappear...
