The Tongue is Like a Sharp Knife; it Kills Without Drawing Blood



My Favorite Buddha Quotes


Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.

The tongue like a sharp knife; it kills without drawing blood.

 In the sky, there is no distinction of east and west; people create distinctions out of their own minds and then believe them to be true.

 It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell or haters.

Marie Laveau, Voodoo Queen of New Orleans



The Mother of New Orleans Voodoo, Marie Laveaux. This is my artistic interpretation of her ritual symbol. Known in her day as the "Boss Woman", Marie Laveaux was both respected and feared for her awesome womanly power. People from all walks of life used to seek out Mam'zelle's assistance for help with breaking hexes and uncrossing crossed conditions because they had every confidence in her ability to help them.
