Quotes from some of the wisest men in history


"All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him."

~Buddha


"A man is but the product of his thoughts; what he thinks he becomes."

~Gandhi


"The key to growth is the introduction of higher dimensions of consciousness into our awareness."

~Lao Tzu


"By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them."

~Jesus



"Happiness is not being pained in body or troubled in mind."

~Thomas Jefferson


"The purpose of our lives is to be happy."

~Dalai Lama


"It all depends on how we look at things, and not how they are in themselves."

~Carl Jung


"A man should look for what is, and not for what he thinks should be."
~Albert Einstein
