“Charity puts and end to poverty; righteous conduct to misery; discretion to ignorance; and scrutiny to fear.”
Chanakya
“As human beings we all want to be happy and free from misery… we have learned that the key to happiness is inner peace. The greatest obstacles to inner peace are disturbing emotions such as anger, attachment, fear and suspicion, while love and compassion and a sense of universal responsibility are the sources of peace and happiness.”
Dalai Lama

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“In a discreet man's mouth, a public thing is private”
Benjamin Franklin
“The better part of valor is discretion, in the which better part I have saved my life”
William Shakespeare
“Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.”

Spanish Proverb
