"If you cannot find peace, Joy and Serenity where you are right now - then where else do you expect to find it?"
"There can be no lasting tranquility in our hearts if the things we believe in are different from the things we do."
"Weigh up with your logic and within your heart, the disadvantages of Anger, Hatred, Resentment and Fear, against the advantages of Peace, Love, Forgiveness and freedom.
Then choose."

The first is from one of the "Awakening" trilogy books, by Lama Surya Das.
The second is from a small compact book of Buddhist quotations, but there is no specific 'Author' to whom it is attributed.
The third was said to me by a fellow Shiatsu student, many years ago, although she made it clear she was quoting someone else, but again, I don't know whom.

 You can see why it's stuck in my head for years. I was babysitting her one day and she asked me what a poem was and i gave her a very poor description and she ran off and then came back with that... and it's just so precious!

An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind.
M.K. Gandhi
I am still determined to be cheerful and happy, in whatever situation I may be; for I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances.
Martha Washington
The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes of mind.
William James
Anger is never without Reason, but seldom with a good One.
Benjamin Franklin
It's not enough that we do our best; sometimes we have to do what's required.
Sir Winston Churchill
