Buddha quotes are the calmest corner of any quotes shelf. This page keeps two kinds of lines. A few are widely known traditional sayings that generations have attributed to Gautam Buddha, and those carry his name. Everything else is an original dhamma inspired line written for QuotesDose, carrying the same breath without borrowing anyone's words. Lord buddha quotes work best when sent one at a time, so each line here stands alone. For stillness without any tradition attached, the peace quotes page sits nearby.

Buddha Quotes on Peace and a Strong Mind
Peace buddha quotes and strong mind buddha quotes belong together, stillness is the muscle. These peace of mind quotes from the buddha tradition are original lines, written fresh.
sit with the breath,
it has no deadline
anger is a visitor,
serve it silence and it leaves
a strong mind bows easily,
that is its strength
water the roots of calm daily,
shade appears on hard days
a quiet mind hears
the next right step
be the calm one in the room,
it is contagious
Buddha Quotes on Life and Karma
Meaningful buddha quotes on life stay with you because they ask so little, notice, release, continue. Karma buddha quotes here keep the same softness.
craving shrinks the world,
letting go returns it
walk the middle road,
both ditches are deep
this moment is the address
where life actually lives
the bell does not chase its sound,
let your good deeds travel alone
impermanence is mercy,
no storm has a lease
patience ripens,
hurry rots
Positive Buddha Quotes for Mornings
Positive buddha quotes suit the first hour, before the phone wins. Good morning buddha quotes work like a single bell, one strike, long echo.
the lamp you light for another
brightens your own road
attention is the shortest sutra
forgive quickly,
the load is yours till you do
desire less, notice more,
the day doubles in size
morning metta, send good wishes
before the mind sends worries
compassion costs a moment
and pays a lifetime
Gautam Buddha Quotes in Hindi
Gautam buddha quotes in hindi, written original with Roman spelling, for family groups and quiet statuses.
मन शांत तो जीवन शांत
man shaant to jeevan shaant
जो बीत गया उसे जाने दो,
यही बुद्ध की करुणा है
jo beet gaya use jaane do,
yahi Buddha ki karuna hai
दीपक बनो,
अपनी राह खुद रोशन करो
deepak bano,
apni raah khud roshan karo
करुणा सबसे बड़ा धर्म है,
बुद्ध यही सिखाते हैं
karuna sabse bada dharm hai,
Buddha yahi sikhate hain
Which lines are traditional and which are original
The first section holds widely known traditional sayings that carry the name Gautam Buddha because generations have passed them down with it. All the remaining lines are new, made for this site in the dhamma spirit, and they carry no name on purpose, because inventing a saying and pinning it on the Buddha is exactly the noise this page avoids. If a line has no credit here, it is ours and it is new.
Using Buddha lines without turning preachy
Send one line, never a stack, and let silence do the second half. A peace line fits an anxious afternoon, a karma line fits a setback, a morning metta line fits the family group at sunrise. Readers who want buddha quotes in tamil, marathi or telugu can translate these freely, short lines survive translation. For the worldly, practical cousin of this page see Chanakya quotes, for fire see Vivekananda quotes, and for plain sunshine see positive quotes.
