Buddha on Wisdom Quotes

"Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace."

"Irrigators channel waters; fletchers straighten arrows; carpenters bend wood; the wise master themselves."

"Just as a solid rock is not shaken by the storm, even so the wise are not affected by praise or blame."

"Let a man avoid evil deeds as a merchant, carrying much wealth and accompanied by a small escort, avoids a dangerous road, as a man who loves his life avoids poison."

"One is not a wise man because he talks and talks again; but if he is peaceful, loving and fearless then he is in truth called wise."
