Silence

Silence is essential. We need silence, just as much as we need air, just as much as plants need light. If our minds are crowded with words and thoughts, there is no space for us. - Thich Nhat Hanh

Silence is helpful, but you don’t need it in order to find stillness. Even when there is noise, you can be aware of stillness underneath the noise, of the space in which the noise arises. That is the inner space of pure awareness, consciousness itself. - Eckhart Tolle

Solitude

Solitude is for me a fount of healing which makes my life worth living. Talking is often a torment for me, and I need many days of silence to recover from the futility of words. - Carl Jung

Anger

When you look deeply into your anger, you will see that the person you call your enemy is also suffering. As soon as you see that, the capacity for accepting and having compassion for them is there. - Thich Nhat Hanh

When faced with anger, senseless drama, spiteful criticisms and misguided opinions, walking away is the best way to stand up for yourself. To respond with anger is an endorsement of their attitude. - Dodinsky

Pain

Pain is temporary. It comes to teach a lesson and when the lesson is understood, it disappears into the night. - Unknown
