When we quarrel, how we wish we had been blameless.
Ralph Waldo EmersonRead
Whatever you resist you become. If you resist anger, you are always angry. If you resist sadness, you are always sad. If you resist suffering, you are always suffering. If you resist confusion,you are always confused. We think that we resist certain states because they are there, but actually they are there because we resist them.
AdyashantiRead
We are reminded that anger doesn't solve anything. It builds nothing, but it can destroy everything.
Thomas S. MonsonRead
Whom anger chains, can ever pass thro' Maya's gates.
Swami VivekanandaRead
With everything we do in life we identify ourselves. Here is a man who says harsh words to me. I feel anger coming on me. In a few seconds anger and I are one, and then comes misery. Attach yourselves to the Lord and to nothing else, because everything else is unreal. Attachment to the unreal will bring misery. There is only one Existence that is real, only one Life in which there is neither object nor [subject].
Swami VivekanandaRead
There is no such thing as "righteous" anger or justifiable killing.
Swami VivekanandaRead
Through the senses, anger comes, and sorrow comes.
Swami VivekanandaRead
You have no more anger when you are all love, bliss, infinite existence. . . .
Swami VivekanandaRead
He in whose mind is no anger, hatred, or envy, who never loses his balance, dies, or is born, who is he but God?
Swami VivekanandaRead
I am neither man nor angel. I have no sex nor limit. I am knowledge itself. I am He. I have neither anger nor hatred. I have neither pain nor pleasure. Death or birth I never had. For I am Knowledge Absolute, and Bliss Absolute. I am He, my soul, I am He!
Swami VivekanandaRead
Every wave of passion restrained is a balance in your favor. It is therefore good policy not to return anger for anger, as with all true morality.
Swami VivekanandaRead
As soon as we react, we become slaves. A man blames me, and I immediately react in the form of anger. A little vibration which he created made me a slave.
Swami VivekanandaRead
Don't you find that in a weak physique it is difficult to control the sex - appetite or anger?
Swami VivekanandaRead
The tyranny imposed on the soul by anger, or fear, or lust, or pain, or envy, or desire, I generally call 'injustice.'
PlatoRead
Anger and hatred are the materials from which hell is made.
Nhat HanhRead
There's nothing wrong with anger provided you use it constructively.
Wayne DyerRead
The components of anxiety, stress, fear, and anger do not exist independently of you in the world. They simply do not exist in the physical world, even though we talk about them as if they do.
Wayne DyerRead
It is impossible for you to be angry and laugh at the same time. Anger and laughter are mutually exclusive and you have the power to choose either.
Wayne DyerRead
If you get angry easily, it may be because the seed of anger in you has been watered frequently over many years, and unfortunately you have allowed it or even encouraged it to be watered.
Nhat HanhRead
Happiness cannot come from hatred or anger. Nobody can say, 'Today I am happy because this morning I was angry.' On the contrary, people feel uneasy and sad and say, 'Today I am not very happy, because I lost my temper this morning.'
Dalai LamaRead
People are afraid that if they let go of their anger and righteousness and wrath, and look at their own feelings-and even see the good in a bad person-they're going to lose the energy they need to do something about the problem. But actually you get more strength and energy by operating from a place of love and concern. You can be just as tough, but more effectively tough.
Robert ThurmanRead
