Siddhartha Gautama (Buddha) — "The fragrance of holiness travels even against the wind."

"He who is not disturbed by the clamor of the world, nor by its sorrows, nor by its joys, is truly a wise man."

"Just as a bee, without harming the flower, its color or its fragrance, takes a little nectar and flies away, so too should the sage wander in a village."

"Whatever a foe may do to a foe, or a hater to a hater, a wrongly directed mind will do us greater mischief."

"To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a long road to life."

"If you knew what I know about the power of giving, you would not let a single meal pass without sharing it in some way."
