even though this is a daoist space, one of my patients gave me a bunch o' great quotes from Buddha that should be shared. enjoy!

Live your life in happiness, even though those around you lead lives which are unhealthy, and wish to spread their illness to you. Be Happiness itself.

Who ranks as the highest? One who does not harm anything. One who never retaliates. One who is always at peace regardless of the other person's disposition.

All things appear and disappear because of the concurrence of causes and conditions. Nothing ever exists entirely alone; everything is in relation to everything else.

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.
