“All that we are is the result of what we have thought: it is founded on our thoughts and made up of our thoughts.

If a man speak or act with a good thought, happiness follows him like a shadow that never leaves him.”
― Gautama Buddha

“It was times like these when I thought my father, who hated guns and had never been to any wars, was the bravest man who ever lived.”
