I have not, I will not have."
That frightens all the childish
And extinguishes fear in the wise.

About Nagarjuna

Nāgārjuna (c. 150 – 250), sometimes called the "second Buddha" in Tibetan and East Asian Mahayana traditions, was an Indian Buddhist monk and philosopher. He systematized Mahayana Buddhist philosophy around the central concept of the emptiness (shunyata) of all existents (dharmas).

Additional quotes by Nagarjuna

If you desire ease, forsake learning.
If you desire learning, forsake ease.</br>How can the man at his ease acquire knowledge,
And how can the earnest student enjoy ease?

The science, which teaches arts and handicrafts
Is merely science for the gaining of a living;
But the science which teaches deliverance from worldly existence,
Is not that the true science?

Even if you seek to harm an enemy,
You should remove your own defects and cultivate good qualities.
Through that you will help yourself,
And the enemy will be displeased.

"I am not, I will not be. I have not, I will not have." That frightens all the childish And extinguishes fear in the wise. - Nagarjuna
