From my mother, piety and beneficence, and abstinence, not only from evil deeds, but even from evil thoughts; and further, simplicity in my way of living, far removed from the habits of the rich.
Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them.
Constantly regard the universe as one living being, having one substance and one soul; and observe how all things have reference to one perception, the perception of this one living being; and how all things act with one movement; and how all things are the cooperating causes of all things which exist.
Ralph Waldo Emerson·1857For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness.
Genghis Khan·1200An action committed in anger is an action doomed to failure.
Buddhaghosa·430 ADHolding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.
