The best things in life are nearest: breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties in your hand, the path of right just before you. Then do not grasp at the stars, but do life's plain, common work as it comes, certain that daily duties and daily bread are the sweetest things in life.

The Buddha asked Subhuti: "When I got supreme unexcelled enlightenment, what did I get? Did I get supreme unexcelled enlightenment?"
"No, Teacher," Subhuti answered. "You did not get anything when you got supreme unexcelled enlightenment."
"That is right, because if I had gotten anything," the Buddha said, "then it would not be supreme unexcelled enlightenment."
