Author of quotes: Siddhartha Gautama (The Buddha)

From one candle you can light thousands of candles, and its life will not become shorter. Happiness is never lessened by being shared.

Ignorance is the greatest crime, for it is the cause of all human suffering, causing us to value what is unworthy of value, to suffer where there should be no suffering, and, taking illusion for reality, to spend our lives in pursuit of insignificant values, neglecting what is really the most valuable - the knowledge of the mystery of human existence and fate.

The difference between children and adults is that adults seek happiness in everything, and children find it everywhere.

Learn to understand other people if you want yourself to be understood. Before you judge a person better imagine and try to know his problems and why he does so. And if you want to understand you, always try to understand your interlocutor as if it affects your life.

A man's worth lies not in the words that he said and in his actions. Always use gained experience in practice and follow the lessons and knowledge learned. Try to talk less and do more, then you don't have to make excuses for his words.

Learn to forgive. If you all the time you'll save in itself all the negativity that you spill your enemies, one day he will wear you down.

You lose only what you hold.

Free your heart from anger, for never in this world hatred is not destroyed by hatred, but lack of hatred destroyed it.

To continue to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone; you'll get burned is you.

Woe to the unaware and weak creature, whose mind is intoxicated with the pride of youth and not see old age!

Before you can straighten the hunchback, do something more difficult - stretch your shoulders.

Don't believe everything you are told.

Your suffering caused by your resistance to what is.

Happiness is not felicitous combination of external circumstances. It's just your state of mind.
