Where there is charity and wisdom, there is neither fear nor ignorance. Where there is patience and humility, there is neither anger nor vexation. Where there is poverty and joy, there is neither greed nor avarice. Where there is peace and meditation, there is neither anxiety nor doubt.

There is but one thing of real value—to cultivate truth and justice, and to live without anger in the midst of lying and unjust men.

The greatest remedy for anger is delay.

If you spend your time hoping someone will suffer the consequences for what they did to your heart, then you’re allowing them to hurt you a second time in your mind.

My anger is more likely to do me more harm than your wrong.

No man should be angry with what is true.

Usually when people are sad, they don’t do anything. They just cry over their condition. But when they get angry, they bring about a change.

Revenge and retaliation always perpetuate the cycle of anger, fear and violence.

Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings.

Some people live as though they are already dead. There are people moving around us who are consumed by their past, terrified of their future, and stuck in their anger and jealousy. They are not alive; they are just walking corpses.

Fear of serious injury cannot alone justify suppression of free speech and assembly. Men feared witches and burned women. It is the function of speech to free men from the bondage of irrational fears.

Collective fear stimulates herd instinct, and tends to produce ferocity toward those who are not regarded as members of the herd.

If something is wrong, fix it now. But train yourself not to worry, worry fixes nothing!

Great is he, who conquers the frightful. Sublime is he, who, while succumbing to it, fears it not.

Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy.

How could man rejoice in victory and delight in the slaughter of men?

You may shoot me with your words, you may cut me with your eyes, you may kill me with your hatefulness, but still, like air, I'll rise.

Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace.

We still have a choice today: nonviolent coexistence or violent coannihilation. This may well be mankind's last chance between chaos and community.

Those who are free of resentful thoughts surely find peace.

If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace, and this single reflection, well applied, is sufficient to awaken every man to duty.

Be grateful for your life, every detail of it, and your face will come to shine like a sun, and everyone who sees it will be made glad and peaceful.

Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love.

Peaces comes from within. Do not seek it without.

There is a wisdom in this beyond the rules of physic. A man’s own observation, what he finds good of and what he finds hurt of, is the best physic to preserve health.

The opinion of 10,000 men is of no value if none of them know anything about the subject.

Those who would administer wisely must, indeed, be wise, for one of the serious obstacles in the improvement of our race is indiscriminate charity.

The wise man does at once what the fool does finally.
