“Judging is the cause that creates the effect of choosing.”

“Small causes can often have large effects. Smaller causes can have even bigger effects, and the very biggest effects frequently have no cause at all. Witness, for example, the world. It was created out of nothing, and that has made it the worst calamity the world has ever seen.”

“But circumstances change. Small causes lead to large effects. New paths are added. And all anyone can do . . . is choose.”

“There is no such thing as chance. Everything occurs as a result of cause and effect; what you do now will create your own future.”

“There are hundreds of possible causes for every effect, and a hundred possible effects for every cause.”

“Cause and effect, in the Buddhist sense, though. Any action you undertake creates a seed that will sprout when the conditions are right, creating a good or bad result.""Do you believe in it?"He doesn’t allow even a pause. “Very much so.”
