“As human beings we all want to be happy and free from misery… we have learned that the key to happiness is inner peace. The greatest obstacles to inner peace are disturbing emotions such as anger, attachment, fear and suspicion, while love and compassion and a sense of universal responsibility are the sources of peace and happiness.” ~ Dalai Lama
“Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.” ~ Khalil Gibran
“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.” ~ Buddha
“We cannot tell what may happen to us in the strange medley of life. But we can decide what happens in us – how we can take it, what we do with it – and that is what really counts in the end.” ~ Joseph Fort Newton
“Never speak out of anger, never act out of fear, never choose from impatience, but wait… and peace will appear.” ~ Guy Finley
