Life is a journey, not a destination.
Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string.
A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within, more than the lustre of the firmament of bards and sages. Yet he dismisses without notice his thought, because it is his. In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts: they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty.
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.
Adam Smith·1759Hatred and anger are the greatest poison to the happiness of a good mind.
Miyamoto Musashi·1645Resentment and complaint are appropriate neither for oneself or others.
