#tranquility

Our life depends on the kind of thoughts we nurture. If our thoughts are peaceful, calm, meek, and kind, then that is what our life is like. If our attention is turned to the circumstances in which we live, we are drawn into a whirlpool of thoughts and can have neither peace nor tranquility. ↗

— Elder Thaddeus of Vitovnica

It is vain to say human beings ought to be satisfied with tranquility; they must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it. ↗
