Do not seek it without. \u2013\u00a0<strong>Buddha<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, nor to worry about the future, but to live the present moment wisely and earnestly. \u2013\u00a0<strong>Buddha<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned. \u2013\u00a0<strong>Buddha<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The mind is everything. What you think you become. \u2013\u00a0<strong>Buddha<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Your purpose in life is to find your purpose and give your whole heart and soul to it. \u2013\u00a0<strong>Buddha<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The fool who knows he is a fool is that much wiser.\u00a0\u2013\u00a0<strong>Buddha<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Every morning we are born again.
