Our life depends on the kind of thoughts we nurture. If our thoughts are peaceful, calm, meek, and kind, then that is what our life is like. If our attention is turned to the circumstances in which we live, we are drawn into a whirlpool of thoughts and can have neither peace nor tranquility. Thaddeus Of Vitovnica
About This Quote

These words were spoken by the Buddha, who was a spiritual guide and teacher in the Indian religion Upanishad. Buddha was born to a princely royal family but as he grew older he realized he had no interest in the royal life, so he left it. He began working with people to free them of suffering, which is what led him to becoming a spiritual teacher.
