THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts.
With our thoughts, we make the world.
—Buddha Shakyamuni

The thought manifests as the word;
the word manifests as the deed;
the deed develops into habit;
and the habit hardens into character.
Watch the thought and its way with care, and let it spring from love, born out of concern for all beings.
—Ven. K. Sri Dhammananda
