It is our enemies who provide us with the challenge we need to develop the qualities of tolerance, patience and compassion.

You must not hate those who do wrong or harmful things; but with compassion, you must do what you can to stop them — for they are harming themselves, as well as those who suffer from their actions.

Do not let the behavior of others destroy your inner peace.

Just because they're not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost.

Anger cannot be overcome by anger. If someone is angry with you, and you show anger in return, the result is a disaster. On the other hand, if you control your anger and show its opposite - love, compassion, tolerance and patience - not only will you remain peaceful, but the other person's anger will also diminish.

The enemy is the necessary condition for practicing patience.

The more we feel concern for others and seek their well-being, the more friends we will have and the more welcome we will feel.
