Serenity

“

The best fighter is never angry.

Lao Tzu

“

Mrs. Bennet was restored to her usual querulous serenity.

Jane Austen

“

Nothing contributes so much to tranquilize the mind as a steady purpose—a point on which the soul may fix its intellectual eye.

Mary Shelley

“

The wakeful nightingale,
She all night long her amorous descant sung;
Silence was pleas’d: now glow’d the firmament
With living sapphires: Hesperus, that led
The starry host, rode brightest, till the moon,
Rising in clouded majesty, at length
Apparent queen unveil’d her peerless light,
And o’er the dark her silver mantle threw.

John Milton

“

Such stillness—
The cries of the cicadas
Sink into the rocks.

Matsuo Bashō

“

Others abide our question. Thou art free.
We ask and ask: Thou smilest and art still,
Out-topping knowledge.

Matthew Arnold
