(So I am very in need of spiritual nourishment. So tonight I read through some amazing quotes from Buddha, very cool fat guy, and I'm skipping class and going to yoga. Words have healing power, they can be a life raft in this turbulent sea. And don't get it twisted, it's turbulent. All we can do is breath and try to find a patch of still surface. Priorities shouldn't focus around money or school or even your friends and family, they should center on loving yourself and finding balance. At least, thats what I strive for...)
What is the appropriate behavior for a man or a woman in the midst of this world, where each person is clinging to his piece of debris? What's the proper salutation between people as they pass each other in this flood?
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.
All things appear and disappear because of the concurrence of causes and conditions. Nothing ever exists entirely alone; everything is in relation to everything else.
An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.
Ambition is like love, impatient both of delays and rivals.
Have compassion for all beings, rich and poor alike; each has their suffering. Some suffer too much, others too little.
We are formed and molded by our thoughts. Those whose minds are shaped by selfless thoughts give joy when they speak or act. Joy follows them like a shadow that never leaves them.
