We are what we think.
All that we are arises with our thoughts.
With our thoughts we make the world.
Speak of act with an impure mind
and trouble will follow you,
as the wheel follows the ox that draws the cart.
We are what we think.
All that we are arises with our thoughts.
With our thoughts we make the world.
Speak of act with an pure mind
and happiness will follow you,
as your shadow, unshakable.
— The Buddha (Dhammapada opening verses)
