The Buddha A Drama in Five Acts and Four Interludes Quotes

“All bodily existence passeth by For it is compound and will be dissolved; But there is Law; it is the Uncreate, It is th' Etern, which is without beginning And without end. That must our refuge be. He who relies on the Impermanent, And, being strong, attempts to crush the weak, Will soon break down. This is the law of deeds, For as we sow, such will our harvest be. Rely on Truth, the Uncreate, th' Etern, Be guided by the rule of Righteousness. This is my message to the King, your Lord, And may he be advised to rule his country With love of peace, with goodness, and with wisdom.”
― Paul Carus, The Buddha A Drama in Five Acts and Four Interludes

“If there be gods they must be potent, noble, And great and holy; and if the gods are holy, They do not need the offering of a victim, They do not want the life of this poor trembling lamb.”
