The thought manifests as the word,
The word manifests as the deed,
The deed develops into habit,
And habit hardens in character,
So watch the thought and its ways with care,
And let it spring from love,
Born out of concern for all beingsā¦
As the shadow follows the body,
As we think, so we become
— Buddha (from the Dhammapada) (via treefvkker) (via directactioniswitchcraft)
