Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: Speech can break lives, create enemies, and start wars, or it can give wisdom, heal divisions, and create peace.

All tremble at violence;
all fear death.
Putting oneself in the place of another,
one should not kill nor cause another to kill.

All tremble at violence;
life is dear to all.
Putting oneself in the place of another,
one should not kill nor cause another to kill.
