“If the problem can be solved why worry? If the problem cannot be solved worrying will do you no good.”
Śāntideva

“May the blind see the forms,
May the deaf hear sounds.

May the naked find clothing,
The hungry find food;
May the thirsty find water
And delicious drinks.

May the poor find wealth,
Those weak with sorrow find joy;
May the forlorn find new hope,
Constant happiness and prosperity.

May the frightened cease to be afraid
And those bound be freed;
May the powerless find power,
And may the people think of benefiting one another”
Śāntideva

“If you can solve your problem, then what is the need of worrying? If you cannot solve it, then what is the use of worrying?”
Śāntideva
