This is a genuine Buddha quote. It’s from the Dhammapada, from a verse that reads in full,
You yourself must strive.
The Buddhas only point the way.
Those meditative ones who tread the path
are released from the bonds of Mara.

Excellent, excellent website!! You have compiled and vetted a lot of image macros that were unknown to me a few months ago when I wrote a fusion piece that I titled “Dhammapada Houstoniana” (I just found your website today). If you’d like to see some genuine Dhp interpretations, with attributions as meticulous as I could make them (in contrast to much of what is circulating on the net), the running tally can be viewed here (if this URL fails to post properly, go to the Dhammapada category on the South Houston Sangha News blog): http://www.southhoustonsangha.blogspot.com/search/label/Dhammapada%20Houstoniana
