“It is wrong to think that misfortunes come from the east or from the west; they originate within one's own mind. Therefore, it is foolish to guard against misfortunes from the external world and leave the inner mind uncontrolled.”

- Buddha


In the safety of our mind, we let down the guard on our thoughts.

Victory Is Sweetest When Least Expected.

(What a victory! No one in the country believes we could achieve such a victory. Yet each of us on the brink of desperation cast our vote not expecting much, just doing what we have to and hoping for a miracle. We did not expect millions of our fellow countrymen to have that precise sentiment. This is a defining moment in our country's history. At last, there is hope.)

What counts is not necessarily the size of the dog in the fight - it's the size of the fight in the dog.

- Dwight D. Eisenhower

It is easy to fight when one is assure of victory. I salute the underdog who fights with every bit of its strength staring in the face of defeat.

Freedom suppressed and again regained bites with keener fangs than freedom never endangered.

The Sweet Bitter Taste of Vengeance.

Revenge is often like biting a dog because the dog bit you.

-Austin O'Malley


I really feel like biting that smelly dog.

Something of vengeance I had tasted for the first time; as aromatic wine it seemed, on swallowing, warm and racy: its after-flavor, metallic and corroding, gave me a sensation as if I had been poisoned.

- Charlotte Bronte


Vengeance is always sweet when intoxicated with rage, bitter when tasted with a clear head. But what had we done when we were drunk?
