Buddha Quotes about Human

  • Every human being is the author of his own health or disease.
  • Do not vainly lament, but do wonder at the rule of transiency and learn from it the emptiness of human life. Do not cherish unworthy desire that the changeable might become unchanging.
  • The number of those endowed with human life is as small as the amount of earth one can place on a fingernail. Life as a human being is hard to sustain--as hard as it is for the dew to remain on the grass. But it is better to live a single day with honor than to live to 120 and die in disgrace.
  • All human unhappiness comes from not facing reality squarely, exactly as it is.
