Saviors of Saviors of Earth

Earthlings, Chiaroscuros and Sfumatos, United to Save the Saviors

What we are today comes from our thoughts of yesterday, and our present thoughts build our life of tomorrow, our life is the creation of our mind.
If a man speaks or acts with a pure mind, joy follows him as his own shadow.
'He insulted me, he hurt me, he defeated me, he robbed me.' Those who think such thoughts will not be free from hate.
'He insulted me, he hurt me, he defeated me, he robbed me.' Those who think such thoughts will not be free from hate.
For hate is not conquered by hate, hate is conquered by love. This is a law eternal.
Many do not know that we are here in this world to live in harmony. Those who know this do not fight against each other.

Better than a thousand useless words is one single word that gives peace.
Better than a thousand useless verses is one single verse that gives peace.
Better than a hundred useless poems is one single poem that gives peace.
If a man should conquer in battle a thousand and a thousand more, and another man should conquer himself, his would be the greater victory, because the greatest of victories is the victory over oneself; and neither the gods in heaven above nor the demons down below can turn into defeat the victory of such a man.

Forsake anger, give up pride. Sorrow cannot touch the man who is not in the bondage of anything, who owns nothing.
He who can control his rising anger as a coachman, controls his carriage at full speed, this man I call a good driver: others merely hold the reins.
Overcome anger by peacefulness, overcome evil by good, overcome the mean by generosity; and the man who lies by truth.
(Dhammapada 2-6,100-5,221-3)
