Undisturbed calmness of mind is attained by cultivating friendliness toward the happy, compassion for the unhappy, delight in the virtuous, and indifference toward the wicked   --The yoga sutras of Patanjali

If one abuses you, there is a temptation to answer back, or to be revenged.  One should be on guard against this natural reaction.  It is like spitting against the wind, it harms no one but oneself.  It is like sweeping dust against the wind, it does not get rid of the dust but defiles oneself.   Misfortune always dogs the steps of one who gives way to the desire for revenge

There is so much good in the worst of us,
And so much bad in the best of us,
That it hardly behooves any of us
To talk about the rest of us
edward wallis hoch

Never do a wrong thing to make a friend or to keep one --Robert E. Lee
