    Hermann Hesse, Steppenwolf

    Gautama Buddha
    “Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many.

Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.”
    Buddha Siddhartha Guatama Shakyamuni

    “The thought manifests the word;
    The word manifests the deed;

    And habit hardens into character;
    So watch the thought and its ways with care,
    And let them spring forth from love
    Born out of compassion for all beings.
    As the shadow follows the body, as we think, so we become.”
    Dhammapada
