Simple Quotes With Compact Wisdom

Copyright from ChangingAging

I have been on the look out for quotes since last year. They are just wonderful - encapsulating so much wisdom in so few words.

Here are some Buddhist quotes from Lama Atisha that I particularly like. Hope they are every bit as inspirational to everyone.

The greatest achievement is selflessness.
The greatest worth is self-mastery.
The greatest quality is seeking to serve others.
The greatest precept is continual awareness.
The greatest medicine is the emptiness of everything.
The greatest action is not conforming with the world ways.
The greatest magic is transmuting the passions.
The greatest generosity is non-attachment.
The greatest goodness is a peaceful mind.
The greatest patience is humility.
The greatest effort is not concerned with results.
The greatest meditation is a mind that lets go.
The greatest wisdom is seeing through appearances.
