"Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret."

Ambrose Bierce

"People should not worry as much about what they do but rather about what they are. If they and their ways are good, then their deeds are radiant. If you are righteous, then what you do will also be righteous. We should not think that holiness is based on what we do but rather on what we are, for it is not our works which sanctify us but we who sanctify our works."

Meister Eckhart.

"To be full of things is to be empty of God. To be empty of things is to be full of God."

Meister Eckhart

"All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him."

Buddha
