More Quotes from Guatama Buddha:

Guatama Buddha
The world is always burning, burning with the fire of greed, anger and ignorance one should flee from such dangers as soon as possible.
Guatama Buddha
Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.
Guatama Buddha
Neither fire nor wind, birth nor death can erase our good deeds.
Guatama Buddha
The sky holds no trace of bird or smoke or storm An evil teaching carries no Enlightenment nothing in this world is stable But an Enlightened mind is undisturbed.
Guatama Buddha
