Peace is not weak. Standing up to a tank is harder than dropping a suicide bomb

When faced with adverse circumstances, if you can do something, do it and there is not need to worry. If you can't do anything, then there is no point to worry. So in either case, worrying is an added suffering. But this does not mean of course that we should not be unhappy about injustice, abuse and other kinds of behavior that brings suffering upon others.

When hearing a door creak, the optimist thinks it's opening and the pessimist thinks it's closing.

In a way, there's nothing wrong with playing the piano, but it's not a huge trauma if you don't.

You're not insensitive or indifferent, but you're also not vulnerable to the upheavals that cause emotional stress because you can buffer that... So that's the result of meditation; you could call that emotional balance.

Just be free, and at least you will go through adversity with a stronger mind, and therefore, you'll be less affected, and pain will affect you less.

We deal with our mind from morning till evening, and it can be our best friend or our worst enemy.
