Even three times a day to offer
Three hundred cooking pots of food
Does not match a portion of the merit
In one instant of love.

Love

More quotes by Nagarjuna

Although you may spend your life killing,
You will not exhaust all your foes.
But if you quell your own anger,
your real enemy will be slain.

The science, which teaches arts and handicrafts
Is merely science for the gaining of a living;
But the science which teaches deliverance from worldly existence,
Is not that the true science?

The accomplishments of a teacher of ants
Are but accomplishments for earning a living.
But the study of the termination of earthly incarnation—
Why should that not be the accomplishment?

Without hope of reward
Provide help to others.
Bear suffering alone,
And share your pleasures with beggars.

Due to having faith one relies on the practices,
Due to having wisdom one truly knows.
Of these two wisdom is the chief,
Faith is its prerequisite.

And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.

Bertrand Russell Marriage and Morals (1929)

Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.

Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
