Holding on to anger

"Holding on to anger

            is like grasping a hot coal with the intent

                       of throwing it at someone else;

              you are the one getting burned."  ~ Buddha

Conquer Yourself

"It is better to conquer yourself 

than to win a thousand battles. 

Then the victory is yours. 

It cannot be taken from you, 

not by angels or by demons, 

heaven or hell."

Budda

The Great Mind

"Everything is based on mind, is led by mind, is fashioned by mind. If you speak and act with a polluted mind, suffering will follow you, as the wheels of an oxcart follow the footsteps of the ox. If you speak and act with a pure mind, happiness will follow you, as a shadow clings to a form."
