I would not look upon anger as something foreign to me that I have to fight... I have to deal with my anger with care, with love, with tenderness, with nonviolence.

I am in the present. I don't think of the past. I don't think of the future.

Nonviolent action, born of the awareness of suffering and nurtured by love, is the most effective way to confront adversity.

Smile, breathe and go slowly." - Thich Nhat Hanh, Vietnamese Zen monk, author and peace activist.

People normally cut reality into compartments, and so are unable to see the interdependence of all phenomena. To see one in all and all in one is to break through the great barrier which narrows one's perception of reality.

Words and thoughts concerning compassionate action that are not put into practice are like beautiful flowers that are colorful but have no fragrance.

Anger is like a flame blazing up and consuming our self-control, making us think, say, and do things that we will probably regret later.
