[Big Swami]

Mind is the forerunner of all phenomena. Mind is their chief; they are all mind-made. If, with an impure mind, a person speaks or acts, suffering follows him like the wheel that follows the foot of the ox.

...

"He abused me, he struck me, he overpowered me, he robbed me." Those who harbor such thoughts will not overcome their anger.

...

Hatred is never appeased by hatred in this world. By non-hatred alone is hatred appeased. This is a law eternal.

...

Just as rain breaks through a badly-thatched house, so passion penetrates an undeveloped mind.

...

The doer of good delights here and hereafter; he delights in this life and future lives. He thinks "I have done good things" and this makes him happy, and he is even happier in the hereafter.

if were talking shakespeare and quotes, and badass, julius ceasar is literally (pun!!) filled with them.

Men at some time are masters of their fates: The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlings

Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more

Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant never taste of death but once.
Of all the wonders that I yet have heard, it seems to me most strange that men should fear;
Seeing that death, a necessary end, will come when it will come

Caesar shall forth: the things that threaten'd me
Ne'er look'd but on my back; when they shall see
The face of Caesar, they are vanished.

[Mr. Oobir]

“If only it were all so simple! If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?” -Aleksander Solzhenitsyn

"The self is a relation that relates itself to itself, or is the relation's relating itself to itself in the relation; the self is not the relation but is the relation relating itself to itself." -Kierkegaard, in one of his less lucid moments

[Zekyl]
