Dhammapada: Chapter 1 "The Twin-Verses"

[violetlotus]

from The Dhammapada, teachings of the Buddha:

1. All that we are is the result of what we have thought: it is founded on our thoughts, it is made up of our thoughts. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him, as the wheel follows the foot of the ox that draws the carriage

Reminds me of this:

[el_calico_loco]

The range of what we think and do
is limited by what we fail to notice.
And because we fail to notice
that we fail to notice,
there is little we can do to change
until we notice
how failing to notice
shapes our thoughts and deeds.
