Plato

The excessive increase of anything causes a reaction in the opposite direction.

All men are by nature equal, made all of the same earth by one Workman; and however we deceive ourselves, as dear unto God is the poor peasant as the mighty prince.

Any man may easily do harm, but not every man can do good to another.

Perhaps the mission of those who love mankind is to make people laugh at the truth, to make truth laugh, because the only truth lies in learning to free ourselves from insane passion for the truth.

Buddha means awareness, the awareness of body and mind that prevents evil from arising in either.
