Anger is the real destroyer of our good human qualities; an enemy with a weapon cannot destroy these qualities, but anger can. Anger is our real enemy.

Easy times are the enemy, they put us to sleep. Adversity is our friend, it wakes us up

If you can cultivate the right attitude, your enemies are your best spiritual teachers because their presence provides you with the opportunity to enhance and develop tolerance, patience and understanding.

Happiness doesn't always come from a pursuit. Sometimes it comes when we least expect it.

Although violence and the use of force may appear powerful and decisive, their benefits are short-lived. Violence can never bring a lasting and long term resolution to any problem, because it is unpredictable and for every problem it seems to solve, others are created. On the other hand, truth remains constant and will ultimately prevail.

Scientists are discovering that while anger and hatred eat into our immune system, warm-heartedness and compassion are good for our health.

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