Echoes

For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness.

An action committed in anger is an action doomed to failure.

Holding 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.

Hatred and anger are the greatest poison to the happiness of a good mind.

Resentment and complaint are appropriate neither for oneself or others.

When you understand the roots of anger in yourself and in the other, your mind will enjoy true peace, joy and lightness

Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.

The best revenge is to be unlike him who performed the injury.

The torment of precautions often exceeds the dangers to be avoided.

Man is not worried by real problems so much as by his imagined anxieties about real problems.

The best fighter is never angry.

We suffer more often in imagination than in reality.

Never open the door to a lesser evil, for other and greater ones invariably slink in after it.

Our patience will achieve more than our force.

When will our consciences grow so tender that we will act to prevent human misery rather than avenge it?

Fortunate is he who does not carry envy as a companion.

There are some defeats more triumphant than victories.

Our sadness is not sad, but our cheap joys.

There never was a good war or a bad peace.

Men do not stumble over mountains, but over molehills

Not to display anger or other emotions. To be free of passion and yet full of love.

You shall have joy, or you shall have power, said God; you shall not have both.

If a man take no thought about what is distant, he will find sorrow near at hand.

Men are disturbed, not by things, but by the principles and notions which they form concerning things.

Excessive eating is like a deadly poison to the body and is a principal cause of all illness.
