Daily Dharma Quote On The Power of Words

Namasté and Good Morning readers. I’ve taken a bit of a hiatus but, I just can’t help but share my thoughts with all of you, with that said here’s a morning pearl of wisdom from one of western civilization’s greatest thinkers, leaders and rhetoricians Sir Winston Churchill:

W. Churchill flashes the "Peace" sign

W. Churchill flashes the "Peace" sign

“By swallowing evil words unsaid, no one has ever harmed his stomach.”

~Winston Churchill

We all know that sometimes, (despite how hard it may be) the best thing we can do in any given situation is to keep our mouth shut. Thought, speech and action may in fact all effect ones karma, but by stopping one’s un-compassionate thoughts from becoming speech once they from thoughts does not go for naught. Rather, it is a necessary step in the development of one’s Bodhisattva Mindset.
