You will not be punished for your anger; you will be punished by your anger.
-Gautama Buddha
The world holds two classes of men - intelligent men without religion, and religious men without intelligence.
-Abu'l Ala Al Ma'arri
Don’t complain too loud about wrongs done to you; you may give ideas to your less imaginative enemies.
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb
In marriage, everyday you love and everyday you forgive. It is an ongoing sacrament, love and forgiveness.
-Bill Moyers
It is hard to find a man who has desire for what he has not tasted, or who tastes the world and is untouched. Here in the world some crave pleasure, some seek freedom but it is hard to find a man who wants neither. It is hard to find a man who has an open mind, who neither seeks nor shuns wealth or pleasure, duty or liberation, life or death…He does not want the world to end. He does not mind if it lasts. Whatever befalls him, He lives in happiness.
All good people are weak; they are good because they are not strong enough to be evil.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
The minute you get a religion you stop thinking. Believe in one thing too much and you have no room for new ideas.
-Ray Bradbury
You have crossed the great ocean; why do you halt so near the shore? Make haste to get on the other side, Gautama; be careful all the while!
