The thought manifests as the word;

The word manifests as the deed;

The deed develops into habit;

And habit hardens into character;

So watch the thought and its ways with care,

And let it spring from love

Born out of concern for all beings…

As the shadow follows the body,

As we think, so we become.

Buddha (563 BC – 483 BC), Dhammapada

Last night I stayed up late playing poker with Tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died.

Steven Wright (1955 – )
