Buddha

William Shakespeare
Our vanity is hardest to wound precisely when our pride has just been wounded.
Friedrich Nietzsche
When love beckons to you, follow him, Though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you yield to him, Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
Khalil Gibran
