The way to overcome the angry man is with gentleness, the evil man with goodness, the miser with generosity and the liar with truth.
-Proverbs
The way to overcome the angry man is with gentleness, the evil man with goodness, the miser with generosity and the liar with truth.

-Jesus Christ

-Jim Rohn
Thoughts will lead you in circles. Silence will bring you back to your centre.
