Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned. A good friend who points out mistakes and imperfections and rebukes evil is to be respected as if he reveals a secret of hidden treasure.
Gautama BuddhaIf a man going down into a river, swollen and swiftly flowing, is carried away by the current - how can he help others across?
Gautama BuddhaA man should first direct himself in the way he should go. Only then should he instruct others.
