Even if you’re not a Buddhist, these quotes can help bring some calmness into your life.
1. On Retribution
You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger”.
Holding onto your anger far longer than you should will do nobody any good. It will slowly eat you up on the inside and you will not be able to move on with your life.

2. On Honesty
“Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.”
Being truthful always is often easier said than done. But the truth always finds a way out and when it does, you’ll be sorry you weren’t honest in the first place.

3. On Resentment
“Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.”
When someone wrongs you, let them know about it and then move on. Holding onto old grudges will just create extra baggage that you don’t need.

4. On Inner Peace
“Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.”
Don’t let anyone fool you into believing that you need to travel continents to find true peace. Confronting your demons and banishing them forever can be done from the comfort of your own apartment.

5. On Taking Action
“However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you if you do not act on upon them?”
Blindly following the rituals of our religion does not make us better people. Instead, trying harder to be an overall better person can make so much more of an impact to our own and other people’s lives.

6. On Journeys
“It is better to travel well than to arrive.”
Don’t get so caught up in the rat race that you forget the important things in life. Spend more time with your loved ones, make new experiences for yourself and you’ll find your life is much fuller for it.

7. On Love
“True love is born from understanding.”
True love doesn’t require huge gestures and expensive gifts. It can only come when two people understand each other completely and accept the other for what they are.

8. On Suffering
“Pain is certain, suffering is optional.”
We will all go through multiple difficulties in our lives. Often times it may seem that things can’t possibly be better again. But have faith that this is just a small glitch in your whole life and try to make the best out of the situation.

9. On Superficiality
“A dog is not considered a good dog because he is a good barker. A man is not considered a good man because he is a good talker.”
We might be intimidated by the coworker who’s a smooth talker and appears to be first in line for a promotion. But work speaks volumes and you will ultimately be valued for it.

10. On Progress
“I never see what has been done, I only see what remains to be done.”
It’s important to give yourself a pat on the back every now and then for a job well done, but don’t let it get to your head. Focus on the next goal to achieve and continue to give your life direction.

11. On Ignorance
“The darkest night is ignorance”
In our current times where fake news seems to dominate and people can pick and choose what they wish to see, it’s particularly important for us to educate ourselves. Fake news can often times have very real consequences.
