The Dhammapada (The Path of Truth) is thought to be a collection of some of the sayings of the historical Buddha who lived about 500 years before Christ.
I'll post here some of the sayings as interpreted by Thomas Byrom and also a link to the entire work free on line at Angelfire.

We are what we think.
All that we are arises with our thoughts.
With our thoughts we make the world.
Speak or act with an impure mind
And trouble will follow you
As the wheel follows the ox that draws the cart.
We are what we think.
All that we are arises with our thoughts.
With our thoughts we make the world.
Speak or act with a pure mind
And happiness will follow you
As your shadow, unshakable.
