Buddha says
¤ There is nothing more dreadful than the habit of doubt. Doubt separates people. It is a poison that disintegrates friendships and breaks up pleasant relations. It is a thorn that irritates and hurts; it is a sword that kills.
¤ The way is not in the sky. The way is in the heart.
¤ Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.
¤ To keep the body in good health is a duty... otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.
¤ Unity can only be manifested by the Binary. Unity itself and the idea of Unity are already two.
¤ Virtue is persecuted more by the wicked than it is loved by the good.
¤ We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.
¤ You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.
¤ A jug fills drop by drop.

Some Persian Proverbs
“By a sweet tongue and kindness, you can drag an elephant with a hair”
“Thinking is the essence of wisdom”
“Risk - If one has to jump a stream and knows how wide it is, he will not jump. If he doesn't know how wide it is, he'll jump and six times out of ten he'll make it.”
“He who wants a rose must respect the thorn.”
“He who knows not, and knows not that he knows not, is a fool, shun him; He who knows not, and knows that he knows not, is a child, teach him. He who knows, and knows not that he knows, is asleep, wake him. He who knows, and knows that he knows, is wise, follow him.”
“Who does not beat his own child will later beat his own breast”
“In the hour of adversity be not without hope for crystal rain falls from black clouds”
