The Buddha: Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.

    I have read a large amount of the Buddhist Pali suttas, and I have never read that Buddha said this. Where exactly does this quote originate from? All the Pali words refer to ill-will, malice, or hatred, NOT to anger.
