Bad Feelings

Don’t spend your life running from bad feelings,
thinking you can’t stand the pain.
You’ve already borne the pain.
What you have not done is feel
all that you are beyond that pain.
Kalil Gibran (paraphrased)

Be Like a Tree

Praise and blame, gain and loss,
pleasure and sorrow
come and go like the wind.
To be happy, rest like a giant tree
in the midst of them all.
The Buddha

Anger

Holding on to anger is like holding on to a hot coal 
with the intent of throwing it at someone else. 
You are the one who gets burned. 
The Buddha

Patience

If you are patient in one moment of anger,

The Earth

Treat the Earth well: 
It was not given to you by your parents; 
it was loaned to you by your children.

True Wisdom

Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry, 
the philosophy which does not laugh, 
and the greatness which does not bow before children. 
Kahil Gibran
