Buddha The /ataka. %ou can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. %ou yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection. Buddha 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. Buddha o be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life. foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent. Buddha 11
