The Buddha’s Words of Wisdom

One who is wise and disciplined,

Kindly always and intelligent,

Humble and free from pride—

One like this will win respect.

 

Rising early and scorning laziness,

Remaining calm in time of strife,

Faultless in conduct and clever in actions—

One like this will win respect.

 

Being able to make friends and keep them,

Welcoming others and sharing with them,

A guide, philosopher and friend—

One like this will win respect.
