Buddhism Spread

Famous quotes containing the words buddhism and/or spread:

    A religion so cheerless, a philosophy so sorrowful, could never have succeeded with the masses of mankind if presented only as a system of metaphysics. Buddhism owed its success to its catholic spirit and its beautiful morality.
    W. Winwood Reade (1838–1875)

    All catches alight
    At the spread of spring:
    Birds crazed with flight
    Branches that fling
    Leaves up to the light
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
