Quotes I Love: "But what makes these 'experts' preach their opinion and call it truth?" asked the inquirer. "Is it an inheritance of humankind to do this, or is it merely something they gain satisfaction from?"
"Apart from consciousness," answered the Buddha, "no absolute truths exist. False reasoning declares one view to be true and another view wrong. It is delight in their dearly held opinions that makes them assert that anyone who disagrees is bound to come to a bad end. But no true seeker becomes embroiled in all this. Pass by peacefully and go a stainless way, free from theories, lusts and dogmas."
-Majjhima Nikaya
We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. If what we are now had been the result of our own past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in the future can be produced by our present actions’ so we have to know how to act.
-Swami Vivekananda
