Socrates, Jesus and Buddha

Socrates and Jesus met the Buddha one fine day
Comparing notes on favorite quotes 
Of love, life, work and play. 
Socrates said “Questioning” was the way to truth made clear
While Jesus said, “Love everyone, even those we hate and fear.”
Buddha on the other hand smiled and kept on walking,
Thinking to himself he said, “Need more silence and less talking.”
