Let them not do the slightest thing that the wise would later reprove. ~ Gautama Buddha
Wise Buddhist quotes by Gautama Buddha
A person is not learned nor wise because he talks much; the person who is patient, free from hatred and fear, that person is called learned and wise. ~ Gautama Buddha
Wise Buddhist quotes by Gautama Buddha
As irrigators lead water where they want, as archers make their arrows straight, as carpenters carve wood, the wise shape their minds. ~ Gautama Buddha
Wise Buddhist quotes by Gautama Buddha
Anger will never disappear so long as thoughts of resentment are cherished in the mind. ~ Gautama Buddha
Wise Buddhist quotes by Gautama Buddha
The good renounce everything. The pure don't babble about sensual desires. Whether touched by pleasure or pain, the wise show no change of temper. ~ Gautama Buddha
Wise Buddhist quotes by Gautama Buddha
The fool who thinks he is wise is just a fool. The fool who knows he is a fool is wise indeed. ~ Gautama Buddha
Wise Buddhist quotes by Gautama Buddha
By three things the wise person may be known. What three? He sees a shortcoming as it is. When he sees it, he tries to correct it. And when another acknowledges a shortcoming, the wise one forgives it as he should. ~ Gautama Buddha
Wise Buddhist quotes by Gautama Buddha
I'm helped by a gentle notion from Buddhist psychology, that there are "near enemies" to every great virtue - reactions that come from a place of care in us, and which feel right and good, but which subtly take us down an ineffectual path. Sorrow is a near enemy to compassion and to love. It is borne of sensitivity and feels like empathy. But it can paralyze and turn us back inside with a sense that we can't possibly make a difference. The wise Buddhist anthropologist and teacher Roshi Joan Halifax calls this a "pathological empathy" of our age. In the face of magnitudes of pain in the world that come to us in pictures immediate and raw, many of us care too much and see no evident place for our care to go. But compassion goes about finding the work that can be done. Love can't help but stay present ~ Krista Tippett
Wise Buddhist quotes by Krista Tippett
Let the wise one control his thoughts, for they are difficult to perceive, often elusive, and they rush about frantically: a mind well controlled achieves peace and happiness. ~ Gautama Buddha
Wise Buddhist quotes by Gautama Buddha
Through vigilance, restraint and control the wise will construct and island that no flood will overcome. ~ Gautama Buddha
Wise Buddhist quotes by Gautama Buddha
The creatures that inhabit this earth
be they human beings or animals
are here to contribute, each in its own particular way, to the beauty and prosperity of the world. ~ Dalai Lama XIV
Wise Buddhist quotes by Dalai Lama XIV
I reached in experience the nirvana which is unborn, unrivalled, secure from attachment, undecaying and unstained. This condition is indeed reached by me which is deep, difficult to see, difficult to understand, tranquil, excellent, beyond the reach of mere logic, subtle, and to be realized only by the wise. ~ Gautama Buddha
Wise Buddhist quotes by Gautama Buddha
The world is afflicted by death and decay. But the wise do not grieve, having realized the nature of the world. ~ Gautama Buddha
Wise Buddhist quotes by Gautama Buddha
Meat is not agreeable to the wise: it has a nauseating odor, it causes a bad reputation, it is food for the carnivorous; I say this, Mahamati, it is not to be eaten. ~ Gautama Buddha
Wise Buddhist quotes by Gautama Buddha
There is no fire like passion, there is no shark like hatred, there is no snare like folly, there is no torrent like greed. ~ Gautama Buddha
Wise Buddhist quotes by Gautama Buddha
All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think, we become. ~ Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
Wise Buddhist quotes by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
Do not have as friends harmful people, the wise person does not associate with the worst of people. Have as friends virtuous people, the wise person associates with the best of people. ~ Gautama Buddha
Wise Buddhist quotes by Gautama Buddha
Irrigators channel waters; fletchers straighten arrows; carpenters bend wood; the wise master themselves. ~ Gautama Buddha
Wise Buddhist quotes by Gautama Buddha
The ultimate authority must always rest with the individual's own reason and critical analysis. ~ Dalai Lama
Wise Buddhist quotes by Dalai Lama
With good will for the entire cosmos, cultivate a limitless heart: above, below, and all around, unobstructed, without hostility or hate. ~ Gautama Buddha
Wise Buddhist quotes by Gautama Buddha
Few cross over the river. Most are stranded on this side. On the riverbank they run up and down. But the wise man, following the way, Crosses over, beyond the reach of death. He leaves the dark way For the way of light. ~ Gautama Buddha
Wise Buddhist quotes by Gautama Buddha
One who is wise and disciplined, always kind and intelligent, humble and free from pride. One like this will be praised. ~ Gautama Buddha
Wise Buddhist quotes by Gautama Buddha
He who walks in the company of fools suffers much. Company with fools, as with an enemy, is always painful. Company with the wise is pleasure, like meeting with kinfolk. ~ Gautama Buddha
Wise Buddhist quotes by Gautama Buddha
A good friend who points out mistakes and imperfections and rebukes evil is to be respected as if he reveals the secret of some hidden treasure. ~ Dalai Lama XIV
Wise Buddhist quotes by Dalai Lama XIV
Born out of concern for all beings. ~ Gautama Buddha
Wise Buddhist quotes by Gautama Buddha
There is no satisfying the senses, not even with a shower of money. "The senses are of slight pleasure and really suffering." When a wise man has realised this, he takes no pleasure, as a disciple of the Buddhas, even in the pleasures of heaven. Instead he takes pleasure in the elimination of craving. ~ Gautama Buddha
Wise Buddhist quotes by Gautama Buddha
A wise man, recognizing that the world is but an illusion, does not act as if it is real, so he escapes the suffering. ~ Gautama Buddha
Wise Buddhist quotes by Gautama Buddha
One should follow a man of wisdom who rebukes one for one's faults, as one would follow a guide to some buried treasure. To one who follows such a wise man, it will be an advantage and not a disadvantage. ~ Gautama Buddha
Wise Buddhist quotes by Gautama Buddha
If you see an intelligent man who tells you where true treasures are to be found, who shows what is to be avoided, and administers reproofs,follow that wise man ; it will be better, not worse, for those who follow him. ~ Gautama Buddha
Wise Buddhist quotes by Gautama Buddha
If by leaving a small pleasure one sees a great pleasure, let a wise man leave the small pleasure, and look to the great. ~ Gautama Buddha
Wise Buddhist quotes by Gautama Buddha
Like a beautiful flower, full of colour, but without scent, are wise words when spoken, but fruitless these words are when not carried out by the speaker. ~ Gautama Buddha
Wise Buddhist quotes by Gautama Buddha
Think not silence the wisdom of fools; but, if rightly timed, the honor of wise men, who have not the infirmity, but the virtue of taciturnity. ~ Thomas Browne
Wise Buddhist quotes by Thomas Browne
Aristotle is the last Greek philosopher who faces the world cheerfully; after him, all have, in one form or another, a philosophy of retreat. The world is bad; let us learn to be independent of it. External goods are precarious; they are the gift of fortune, not the reward of our own efforts. Only subjective goods - virtue, or contentment through resignation - are secure, and these alone, therefore, will be valued by the wise man. Diogenes personally was a man full of vigour, but his doctrine, like all those of the Hellenistic age, was one to appeal to weary men, in whom disappointment had destroyed natural zest. And it was certainly not a doctrine calculated to promote art or science or statesmanship, or any useful activity except one of protest against powerful evil. ~ Anonymous
Wise Buddhist quotes by Anonymous
Even the proud in all their boasting, must fall silent before the wise. ~ Justin K. McFarlane Beau
Wise Buddhist quotes by Justin K. McFarlane Beau
It would be wise to define 'living' as walking in the fullest expression of who I am, verses wallowing in the confines of who I'm not. ~ Craig D. Lounsbrough
Wise Buddhist quotes by Craig D. Lounsbrough
The Supreme Court has ruled that they cannot have a nativity scene in Washington, D.C. This wasn't for any religious reasons. They couldn't find three wise men and a virgin. ~ Jay Leno
Wise Buddhist quotes by Jay Leno
Whatever can be known of earth we know, Sneered Europe's wise men, in their snail shells curled; No! said one man in Genoa, and that No Out of the dark created the New World. - JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL CONTENTS ~ Mildred Stapley Byne
Wise Buddhist quotes by Mildred Stapley Byne
I don't think I'd be happy if I were satisfied. I enjoy challenge, and I wouldn't say that I'm an ambitious person career-wise or financially, really. I would like to travel more comfortably, but that's really about all I need. ~ Jason Isbell
Wise Buddhist quotes by Jason Isbell
How easy it is to see your brother's faults, How hard it is to face your own. ~ Gautama Buddha
Wise Buddhist quotes by Gautama Buddha
A wise nation should cultivate a political spirit that allows opponents to cooperate without fearing an automatic execution from their core supporters. Who knew that the real rogues in American politics would be the ones who dare to get along? ~ Jon Meacham
Wise Buddhist quotes by Jon Meacham
I examined the poets, and I look on them as people whose talent overawes both themselves and others, people who present themselves as wise men and are taken as such, when they are nothing of the sort.

From poets, I moved to artists. No one was more ignorant about the arts than I; no one was more convinced that artists possessed really beautiful secrets. However, I noticed that their condition was no better than that of the poets and that both of them have the same misconceptions. Because the most skillful among them excel in their specialty, they look upon themselves as the wisest of men. In my eyes, this presumption completely tarnished their knowledge. As a result, putting myself in the place of the oracle and asking myself what I would prefer to be - what I was or what they were, to know what they have learned or to know that I know nothing - I replied to myself and to the god: I wish to remain who I am.

We do not know - neither the sophists, nor the orators, nor the artists, nor I - what the True, the Good, and the Beautiful are. But there is this difference between us: although these people know nothing, they all believe they know something; whereas, I, if I know nothing, at least have no doubts about it. As a result, all this superiority in wisdom which the oracle has attributed to me reduces itself to the single point that I am strongly convinced that I am ignorant of what I do not know. ~ Socrates
Wise Buddhist quotes by Socrates
You're wise to be cautious. People taking the last rites have a way of dying on cue. ~ Kurt Vonnegut
Wise Buddhist quotes by Kurt Vonnegut
Oh, I didn't think it wise to hide it. Might not be able to find it again," I say, cheerily. "It's sitting in plain view on your chair in the great hall. I do hope that was the best place for it. ~ Libba Bray
Wise Buddhist quotes by Libba Bray
This and many others only confirmed me in the opinion, planted when I saw the sale of Martha Ann, and growing steadily thereafter, that slavery was an accursed business, and that the sooner my people were relieved of it, the better. ~ John Sergeant Wise
Wise Buddhist quotes by John Sergeant Wise
Where two discourse, if the anger of one rises, he is the wise man who lets the contest fall. ~ Plutarch
Wise Buddhist quotes by Plutarch
It had been in a Paris house, with many people around, and my dear friend Jules Darboux, wishing to do me a refined aesthetic favor, had touched my sleeve and said, "I want you to meet-" and led me to Nina, who sat in the corner of a couch, her body folded Z-wise, with an ashtray at her heel, and she took a long turquoise cigarette holder from her lips and joyfully, slowly exclaimed, "Well, of all people-" and then all evening my heart felt like breaking, as I passed from group to group with a sticky glass in my fist, now and then looking at her from a distance (she did not look ... ), and listening to scraps of conversation, and overheard one man saying to another, "Funny, how they all smell alike, burnt leaf through whatever perfume they use, those angular dark-haired girls," and as it often happens, a trivial remark related to some unknown topic coiled and clung to one's own intimate recollection, a parasite of its sadness. ~ Vladimir Nabokov
Wise Buddhist quotes by Vladimir Nabokov
I think that whatever we encounter in life, we want to encourage a balance between the mind and the soul ... and that is to consider about 50% data from the mind and 50% data from the soul. This is what Buddhists call, "the middle way." ~ Neale Donald Walsch
Wise Buddhist quotes by Neale Donald Walsch
With the suddneness of a cat leaping upon its prey, he leaned forward and caught up her wrist. "Tread lightly, Miranda Fair." His thumb moved lightly over her fluttering pulse, as she stared with her mouth assuredly hanging open in shock, her heart beating furiously within her breast."You know, it's never wise to tempt the devil." His gaze lowered to her hand, still locked in his grip, her fingers glistening with pear juice. "Had I not this mask, I should be of a mind to suck that juice right off of your fingers. ~ Kristen Callihan
Wise Buddhist quotes by Kristen Callihan
A river cannot boast to a sea. ~ Matshona Dhliwayo
Wise Buddhist quotes by Matshona Dhliwayo
Again I take a taxi to Clichy address, but feel that I do not want to go on loving Henry more actively than he loves me (having realized that nobody will ever love me in that overabundant, overexpressive, overthoughtful, overhuman way I love people), and so I will wait for him. So I ask taxi driver to drop me at the Galeries Lafayette, where I begin to look for a new hat and to shop for Christmas. Pride? I don't know. A kind of wise retreat. I need people too much. So I bury my gigantic defect, my overflow of love, under trivialities, like a child. I amuse myself with a new hat. ~ Anais Nin
Wise Buddhist quotes by Anais Nin
Ignorance is an ugly duckling, knowledge is a beautiful swan. ~ Matshona Dhliwayo
Wise Buddhist quotes by Matshona Dhliwayo
The man who does not learn to wait upon the Lord and have his thoughts molded by Him will never possess that steady purpose and calm trust, which is essential to the exercise of wise influence upon others, in times of crisis and difficulty. ~ Dixon Edward Hoste
Wise Buddhist quotes by Dixon Edward Hoste
Safe from the Neighbors is a novel of unusual richness and depth, one that's as wise about the small shocks within a marriage as it is about the troubled history of Mississippi. Steve Yarbrough is a formidably talented novelist, shuttling between the past and present with a grace that feels effortless. ~ Tom Perrotta
Wise Buddhist quotes by Tom Perrotta
You must hasten to oppose pernicious pride of mind, before it penetrates into the marrow of your bones. Resist it, curb the quickness of your mind and humbly subject your opinion to the opinions of others. Be a fool for the love of God, if you wish to be wiser than Solomon: 'If any man among you seem to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise' (I Cor. 3:18). ~ Lorenzo Scupoli
Wise Buddhist quotes by Lorenzo Scupoli
The universe appeals to your sense, not your senselessness;
your understanding, not your shallowness;
your discernment, not your blindness;
your intellect, not your nonsense;
your rationale, not your recklessness;
your knowledge, not your ignorance;
your wisdom, not your imprudence;
your insight, not your brainlessness;
and your enlightenment, not your foolishness.

The universe also appeals to your enjoyment, not your sadness;
your courage, not your fearfulness;
your hope, not your bitterness;
your humility, not your arrogance;
your honesty, not your deceitfulness;
your mercy, not your ruthlessness;
your charity, not your stinginess;
your strength, not your weakness;
and your love, not your hatefulness. ~ Matshona Dhliwayo
Wise Buddhist quotes by Matshona Dhliwayo
The best investment shall be to find your soul. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Wise Buddhist quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
The wise become as the unwise in the enchanted chambers of Power, whose lamps make every face the same colour. ~ Walter Savage Landor
Wise Buddhist quotes by Walter Savage Landor
Life doesn't offer many victories. It is wise to celebrate the few you manage to wring from its grasping hands ~ K. Hippolite
Wise Buddhist quotes by K. Hippolite
The true meaning of the precepts is not just that one should refrain from drinking alcohol, but also from getting drunk on nirvana. ~ Bassui Tokusho
Wise Buddhist quotes by Bassui Tokusho
Children are very wise
intuitively; they know who loves them most, and who only pretends. ~ V.C. Andrews
Wise Buddhist quotes by V.C. Andrews
We rejoice in the joys of our friends as much as we do our own, and we are equally grieved at their sorrows. Wherefore the wise people will feel toward their friends as they do toward themselves, and whatever labor they would encounter with a view to their own pleasure, they will encounter also for the sake of their friends. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero
Wise Buddhist quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
It was so easy to be wise in the explanation of an experience one has not personally witnessed.
("The Wendigo") ~ Algernon Blackwood

As Benjamin Franklin said, 'Those things that hurt, instruct.' It is for this reason that wise people learn not to dread but actually to welcome problems and actually to welcome the pain of problems. ~ M. Scott Peck
Wise Buddhist quotes by M. Scott Peck
To a wise man, the whole earth is open; for the native land of a good soul is the whole earth. ~ Democritus
Wise Buddhist quotes by Democritus
I know that's not a popular notion - don't we frequently regard our elders as wise partially because they're gray and wrinkled? - but lately I've come to believe that some people are born with the capacity to become wise while others aren't, and in some people, wisdom seems to be evident even at a young age. My ~ Nicholas Sparks
Wise Buddhist quotes by Nicholas Sparks
It's like an ex telling you he is "talking" to someone new: you are aware that he means he has not slept with the new person, but if you are wise, you know the talking is deeper. Talking means there is going to be a relationship. ~ Lisa Taddeo
Wise Buddhist quotes by Lisa Taddeo
I do this so you cannot help but hear. A wise man views a moonless night with fear. ~ Patrick Rothfuss
Wise Buddhist quotes by Patrick Rothfuss
The shrewd help the strong.
The wise help the weak. ~ Matshona Dhliwayo
Wise Buddhist quotes by Matshona Dhliwayo
To practice the Way single heartedly is, in itself, enlightenment. There is no gap between practice and enlightenment and daily life. This stripped-down Buddhist aesthetic pervades all aspects of St Zen. Most St Zen temples eschew the fantastic sculptures of bodhisattvas with their jewelry and fluttering robes. Instead, Zen emphasizes rock gardens, green-tea caffeine-infused meditation, and single-mindedness. ~ Marie Mutsuki Mockett
Wise Buddhist quotes by Marie Mutsuki Mockett
Know this, you can start over, every morning.
Know that every day you have an opportunity to respond.
Be educated, rather than angered.
Be wise in your walk, rather than wounded, or wicked.
Your intellect is the sharpest tool in your Goddess kit. Use it. Wisely.
Know your value. Know your worth. Know your contribution. Know this. ~ Emma Mildon
Wise Buddhist quotes by Emma Mildon
Words are the counters of wise men, and the money of fools. ~ Thomas Hobbes
Wise Buddhist quotes by Thomas Hobbes
The truth is that there are no "masters" in the spiritual life. Mature and wise teachers, yes. But fundamentally we are all beginners receiving and giving on our knees before God and with open hands before one another. In this business no one "lords it over" another. Pay ~ Richard J. Foster
Wise Buddhist quotes by Richard J. Foster
It is better to engaged you mind on positive thoughts. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Wise Buddhist quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
You believe me wise because I taught you once, but I have not been north, as you have. You have seen (what) I have never seen ... You flatter me by asking my opinion. ~ Gene Wolfe
