Own Quotations It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways. Buddha In the sky, there is no distinction of east and west; people create distinctions out of their own minds and then beleive them to be true. Buddha To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him. Buddha To live a pure unselfish life, one must count nothing as one's own in the midst of abundance. Buddha Work out your own salvation. Do not depend on others. Buddha Consider the rights of others before your own feelings, and the feelings of others before your own rights. John Wooden A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government. Thomas Jefferson The greatest destroyer of peace is abortion because if a mother can kill her own child, what is left for me to kill you and you to kill me? There is nothing between. Mother Teresa Even the rich are hungry for love, for being cared for, for being wanted, for having someone to call their own. Mother Teresa We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty. Mother Teresa
