“Life should be great rather than long.”
Dr. B. R. Ambedkar
One who is honest, sincere, steadfast, compliant, and well-concentrated, makes progress in the Dhamma.
The Buddha
“One of good will, ever mindful, inwardly well-concentrated, training to remove longing, is said to be heedful.”
The Buddha
“Training in what is conducive to serenity of mind and always mindful, they call such a bhikkhu one constantly resolute.”
The Buddha
“Two conditions lead to the arising of Right Views – the utterance of another person, and careful attention.”
The Buddha
“Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.”
Maria Robinson
“Heedfulness leads to great good. Heedlessness leads to great harm.”
The Buddha
“Two kinds of persons are rare in this world – one who takes initiative in helping others; and one who is grateful and thankful.”
The Buddha
“Insignificant indeed is the increase in wealth; the best thing in which to increase is wisdom.”
The Buddha
“The world we have created is a product of our thinking; it cannot be changed without changing our thinking.”
Albert Einstein
