Quotations About Mindfulness:

The secret of health for both mind and body is

Not to mourn the past,

Worry about the future, or anticipate troubles, but to

Live in the present moment wisely and earnestly.

(Buddha)

We are what we think.

All that we are arises with our thoughts.

With our thoughts, we make our world.

(Buddha)
