Whenever the energy of
anger comes up, we often want to express it to punish the person whom we
believe to be the source of our suffering. This is the habit energy in us. When
we suffer, we always blame the other person for having made us suffer. We do
not realize that anger is, first of all, our business. We are primarily
responsible for our anger, but we believe very naively that if we can say
something or do something to punish the other person, we will suffer less. This
kind of belief should be uprooted. Because whatever you do or say in a state of
anger will only cause more damage in the relationship. Instead, we should try
not to do anything or say anything when we are angry. - Thich Nhat Hanh
When I despair, I remember that
all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been
tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible. But in the
end, they always fall. Think of it – always. - Mahatma Gandhi
When you meet
someone with good manners, you cannot know immediately if you are meeting a
good person. You may not know for years, or ever. But you will know instantly
that something is right about the person. - Unknown
