Gautama Siddharta

was a very wise man:

No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.

It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

The whole secret of existence is to have no fear. Never fear what will become of you, depend on no one. Only the moment you reject all help are you freed.

He who loves 50 people has 50 woes; he who loves no one has no woes.
