Buddha

"When the mind is unguarded, bodily action is unguarded; speech also is unguarded; thought also is unguarded. When the mind is guarded, bodily action is guarded; speech also is guarded; and thought also is guarded. "' 

"By mind the world is led, by mind is drawn: 
And all men own the sovereignty of mind." 

"If one speaks or acts with a wicked mind, pain follows one as the wheel, the hoof of the draught-ox. " 

"If one speaks or acts with a pure mind, happiness follows one as the shadow that never departs. "
