Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one getting burned.

It's one I've always liked too.
How 'bout...
Live in Joy, In love,
Even among those who hate.
Live in joy, In health,
Even among the afflicted.
Live in joy, In peace,
Even among the troubled.
Look within. Be still.
Free from fear and attachment,
Know the sweet joy of living in the way.
There is no fire like greed,
No crime like hatred,
No sorrow like separation,
No sickness like hunger of heart,
And no joy like the joy of freedom.
Health, contentment and trust
Are your greatest possessions,
And freedom your greatest joy.
Look within. Be still.
Free from fear and attachment,
Know the sweet joy of living in the way.

This is what should be done
By one who is skilled in goodness,
And who knows the path of peace:
Let them be able and upright,
Straightforward and gentle in speech.
Humble and not conceited,
Contented and easily satisfied.
Unburdened with duties and frugal in their ways.
Peaceful and calm, and wise and skillful,
Not proud and demanding in nature.
Let them not do the slightest thing
That the wise would later reprove.
- The Buddha's Words on Kindness (Metta Sutta)

Buddhist Wisdom
View all problems as challenges. Look upon negatives that arise as opportunities to learn and grow. Don’t run from them, condem yourself, or bury your burden in saintly silence. You have a problem? Great! More grist for the mill. Rejoice, Dive-in, and investigate.
