Enjoyable Quotes

“Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think. Suffering follows an evil thought as the wheels of a cart follow the oxen that draw it. Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think. Joy follows a pure thought like a shadow that never leaves.” Dhammapada, Twin Verses, Verses 1-2

That is a great quote... I'm not sure that have enough sage years under my belt to say if it's true or not, but it's certainly a good philosophy to keep in mind.

What is Dhammapada? What other versus would you recommend?

I also enjoy many verses from Proverbs in the Old Testament.
