Hey folks…just wanted to say that I am back! I will have to update this more later since I am trying to catch up a bunch of stuff here at work (and make sure I don’t accidentally put myself in the red), so I will leave you with a few quotes for the day. (I am calling today Tragic Tuesday because I had to come back to work)

Though one were to live a hundred years without wisdom and with a mind unstilled by meditation, the life of a single day is better if one is wise and practises meditation.

~Shakyamuni Buddha

Laughter is the language of the Gods. ~Buddhist saying

“Be urgent in good; hold your thoughts off evil. When one is slack in doing good the mind delights in evil.

“Do not think lightly of evil that not the least consequence will come of it. A whole water pot will fill up from dripping drops of water. A fool fills himself with evil, just a little at a time.

“One should avoid evil like a merchant with much goods and only a small escort avoids a dangerous road, and like a man who loves life avoids poison.”

~Gautama Buddha

Don't wait for your "ship to come in" and feel angry and cheated when it doesn't. Get going with something small. ~Irene Kassorla

You can stand tall without standing on someone. You can be a victor without having victims. ~Harriet Woods (1927-) American Politician

If there is no wound on one's hand, one can handle poison. Poison has no effect where there is no wound. There is no evil for the non- doer. ~Buddha

No matter who says what, you should accept it with a smile and do your own work.
~Mother Teresa (1910-1997) Albanian Missionary

All fear violence, all are afraid of death. Seeing the similarity to oneself, one should not use violence or have it used. ~Buddha

Quick Quiz: Can anyone tell me why I have a lot of quotes from Buddha and the various incarnations of Buddha on my blog??
