+All that we are is the result of what we have thought: it is founded on our
+thoughts and made up of our thoughts. If a man speaks or acts with an evil

+draws the wagon... If a man speaks or acts with a good thought, happiness
+follows him like a shadow that never leaves him.
+ -- Shakyamuni 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 anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do
+not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.
+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.
+ -- Shakyamuni Buddha

+If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly our whole life would
+change.
