This is my narration of The Dhammapada, which is a collection of sayings of the Buddha in verse form and one of the most widely read and best known Buddhist scriptures.

Some Quotes I liked:
Chapter III: Thought
35 It is good to tame the mind, which is difficult to hold in and flighty, rushing wherever it listeth; a tamed mind brings happiness.
36 Let the wise man guard his thoughts, for they are difficult to perceive, very artful, and they rush wherever they list: thoughts well guarded bring happiness.
Chapter IV: Flowers
50 Not the perversities of others, not their sins of commission or omission, but his own misdeeds and negligences should a sage take notice of.
Chapter V: The Fool
69 As long as the evil deed done does not bear fruit, the fool thinks it is like honey; but when it ripens, then the fool suffers grief.
Chapter VI: The Wise Man (Pandita)edit
80 Well-makers lead the water (wherever they like); fletchers bend the arrow; carpenters bend a log of wood; wise people fashion themselves.
81 As a solid rock is not shaken by the wind, wise people falter not amidst blame and praise.
Chapter IX: Eviledit
122 Let no man think lightly of good, saying in his heart, It will not come nigh unto me. Even by the falling of water-drops a water-pot is filled; the wise man becomes full of good, even if he gather it little by little.
Chapter XI: Old Ageedit
156 Men who have not observed proper discipline, and have not gained treasure in their youth, lie, like broken bows, sighing after the past.
Chapter XII: Selfedit
158 Let each man direct himself first to what is proper, then let him teach others; thus a wise man will not suffer.
163 Bad deeds, and deeds hurtful to ourselves, are easy to do; what is beneficial and good, that is very difficult to do.
165 By oneself the evil is done, by oneself one suffers; by oneself evil is left undone, by oneself one is purified. Purity and impurity belong to oneself, no one can purify another.
Chapter XV: Happinessedit
197 Let us live happily then, not hating those who hate us! among men who hate us let us dwell free from hatred!
Chapter XVI: Pleasureedit
209 He who gives himself to vanity, and does not give himself to meditation, forgetting the real aim (of life) and grasping at pleasure, will in time envy him who has exerted himself in meditation.
Chapter XVIII: Impurityedit
252 The fault of others is easily perceived, but that of oneself is difficult to perceive; a man winnows his neighbour's faults like chaff, but his own fault he hides, as a cheat hides the bad die from the gambler.
253 If a man looks after the faults of others, and is always inclined to be offended, his own passions will grow, and he is far from the destruction of passions.
Chapter XX: The Wayedit
280 He who does not rouse himself when it is time to rise, who, though young and strong, is full of sloth, whose will and thought are weak, that lazy and idle man will never find the way to knowledge.
