We are what we think All that we…

We are what we think
All that we are arises with our thoughts.
With our thoughts we make the world.
Speak or 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 and act with a pure mind
And happiness will follow you
As your shadow, unshakable.

Dhammapada, The Sayings of the Buddha
