Here are 11 amazing thought-provoking quotes by the Gautam Buddha:

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger.
Better than worshiping gods is obedience to the laws of righteousness.
We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.
There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.
To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life; foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent.
Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.
Whatever words we utter should be chosen with care for people will hear them and be influenced by them for good or ill.
Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule.
