You will not be punished for your anger; you will be punished by your anger.
- Gautama Buddha
Real peace and happiness has to come from the heart, from within. So therefore, to eliminate wars and destroying each other, to eliminate famine, disease and earthquakes,
and to eliminate all other disasters an unfavourable experiences, all this can be stopped by having loving kindness toward each other. From having a good heart with loving kindness, negative action cannot arise.
-Lama Thubten Zopa Rinpoche
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.
-Gautama Buddha
Happiness and suffering comes from your own mind, not from outside. Your own mind is the cause of happiness; your own mind is the cause of suffering. To obtain happiness and pacify suffering, you have to work with your own mind.
-Lama Zopa Rinpoche
Genuine love should first be directed at oneself – if we do not love ourselves, how can we love others?

Mutual respect is the foundation of genuine harmony.
