Buddha Said:

"The thought manifests as the word. The word manifests as the deed. The deed develops into habit. And the habit hardens into character.  So watch the thought and its ways with care.  And let it spring from love,  born out of concern for all beings."

"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."
