Sandra Golden - Present and Future
Karma's a bitch with a broken heart. But she wears a smile on her face because she's the queen of revenge.
Jessica Brody - The Karma Club
Karma comes after everyone eventually. You can't get away with screwing people over your whole life, I don't care who you are. What goes around comes around. That's how it works. Sooner or later the universe will serve you the revenge that you deserve.
Susane Colasanti - Take Me There
I want revenge, but I don't want to screw up my karma.
George Gordon Byron -
Time and Nemesis will do that which I would not, were it in my power remote or immediate. You will smile at this piece of prophecy - do so, but recollect it: it is justified by all human experience. No one was ever even the involuntary cause of great evils to others, without a requital: I have paid and am paying for mine - so will you.
Cailee Francis - A Cascade of Moments
I often had thoughts of vengeance, but I never felt they consumed me. In the days after our conversation, I thought about what Lee had said about Lydia’s killer having a new beginning in a different life. I didn’t want it to get in the way of justice, but didn’t everyone deserve a chance to begin again and become a better person? I think Lee knew he could reach my spirit of fairness, and as a human being –or near enough to one, it seemed unfathomable that someone should be made to pay for their
Avina Celeste -
I see a lot of people talking about karma almost as if it is a form of revenge. When you get into that revenge-seeking mindset of those who have harmed me will pay for it in the future, we begin to attract negative karma to ourselves. We should be focusing on the positive effects that our positive actions have on our life. When you think with anger and revenge, you lose your abilities of forgiveness, compassion, and love for the people around you.
Fuad Alakbarov -
I don't seek revenge because the karma bus always arrives on time.
NyRee Ausler - RETRIBUTION - What Goes Around...
Everything that glitters ain't gold.
Lianne Downey - Cosmic Dancer: An Interdimensional Fantasy
Ohhhhhhh,” she groaned, jerking up from the reclining seat as the tears exploded. She felt as devastated as if she were still in the body of the grizzled fighting man. Convulsing sobs of remorse tortured her energy body and she rocked it like a baby, holding her midsection, feeling as if her stomach would turn inside out. She struggled to speak, gulping in habit for air that didn’t exist, which would have been useless to her energy lungs anyway.She had to know. “Who? Who…was…he?” she managed in

Ashly Lorenzana -
Sooner or later in life, we will all take our own turn being in the position we once had someone else in.
Donna Lynn Hope -
How did I learn empathy? I learned it while suffering. How did I learn about karma? Because it came back to me and I deserved it. I now know when any hurt I experience is due to circumstances outside of my control, karma, or self-imposed consequences for foolish choices. I do feel justice is served if karma humbles someone who needs it, and as anyone who has been wronged can attest, what they seem to want most is for the offending party to experience how it feels and to know in that moment exact
Irving Stone - The Agony and the Ecstasy
He believed that every individual was responsible for his conduct on earth, that there was a judge within. Could even a blazingly Christ inflict greater retribution? Could Dante's Charon in his rowboat on the river Acheron whip the miscreants into a deeper, more everlasting hell than man's unvarnished verdict of himself?
Lao Tzu - Hua Hu Ching: The Unknown Teachings of Lao Tzu
Following the Universal Way means practicing selflessness and extending virtue to the world unconditionally. In this way one not only eliminates the heavy contamination accumulated throughout many lifetimes but may also bring about the possibility of restoring one's original divine nature and become an integral being of the multi-universe.
Longchen Rabjam - Dudjom Lingpa's Chöd: An Ambrosia Ocean of Sublime Explanations
Those who ignore or belittle karmic cause and result are followers of the nihilist heretics. Those who base their confidence only upon the view of emptiness will plunge lower and lower toward the extreme view of nihilism. Those who catapult into this negative direction will never find freedom from the lower states of existence and will be far removed from the higher realms. They say that doctrines emphasizing conventional meanings such as cause and result, compassion, and meritorious accumulatio
Damien Keown - Buddhism: A Very Short Introduction
Individuals create themselves through their moral choices. By freely and repeatedly choosing certain sorts of things, an individual shapes their character, and through their character their future.
Ulf Wolf -
The self is a self-made Procrustean bedof little comfort
Ngagpa Yeshe Dorje - Path of the Yogi
As long as we're in a state of confusion, overwhelmed by the three conflicting emotions, trapped in cyclic existence, we're not happy and we can't benefit sentient beings. Even though we think we might be benefitting them, ultimately we're not. The only way to really be of benefit, to ourselves and others, is to establish the status of buddha. There's nothing better than this. But until we purify our unwholesome karma, especially that of the body, there's no buddha—the buddha will not exist for
Namkhai Norbu - Dzogchen: The Self-Perfected State
To produce a primary [karmic] cause which is potentially capable of having an effect, three things are necessary: intention, the actual action, and then satisfaction.
Hope Bradford - Oracle of Compassion: The Living Word of Kuan Yin
Kuan Yin looks very traditional. Her hands are folded together. The thick cloth of her costume is folded perfectly," describes Lena. "Just as in the previous session, I’m reminded of the significance of the folds. I’m having an interesting vision that I haven’t thought about in many years. I see a beautiful tree where I used to go when I was a teenager. It stands majestic, atop the rolling hills behind the house where I grew up.Kuan Yin is at the tree looking very luminous. I see the bark of the
Arthur Conan Doyle - The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
Violence does, in truth, recoil upon the violent, and the schemer falls into the pit which he digs for another.
Susane Colasanti - Take Me There
I know what it's like to have secrets. Ones that are way traumatic. Ones that are so awful you can't tell anybody, even though you're dying to. So I'm not going to talk about this with anyone. It's the right thing to do. Karma and all.
H.M. Forester - Game of Aeons
There are universal laws at work, even here. The Law of Attraction; the Law of Correspondence; and the Law of Karma. That is: like attracts like; as within, so without; and what goes around comes around.
Liu Yiming -
Cut off entanglements.Get rid of anger and hatred.Do not be afraid of hard work.Tolerate ignominy and endure dishonor.Forgive people and defer to others.Take possessions lightly; take life seriously.View others and self as the same.Do whatever you can to be helpful.Practice developing virtue is the greatest priority; when achievement is great and practice profound, it moves heaven and earth.Ridiculous are the foolish ones who only profit themselves; with no achievement and little action, they dr

Jim Butcher - Grave Peril
I'm not a philosopher, Harry," [Michael] said. "But here's something for you to think about, at least. What goes around comes around. And sometimes you get what's coming around." He paused for a moment, frowning faintly, pursing his lips. "And sometimes you are what's coming around.
Anthony Liccione -
If karma doesn't catch up, God will surely pick up the slack.
Ben Mikaelsen - Touching Spirit Bear
Whatever you do to the animals, you do to yourself.
Vera Nazarian - The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration
Karma has been a pop culture term for ages. But really, what the heck is it?Karma is not an inviolate engine of cosmic punishment. Rather, it is a neutral sequence of acts, results, and consequences.Receiving misfortune does not necessarily indicate that one has committed evil. But it is a sufficient indicator of something else.And that something else can be anything, as long as it is a logical consequence of what has come before.Consider: if you fall into a well, you are not a bad person who de
T.F. Hodge - From Within I Rise: Spiritual Triumph Over Death and Conscious Encounters with "The Divine Presence"
Karma and manifestation work 24/7 to balance the scales. Do justice, in due time.
T.F. Hodge - From Within I Rise: Spiritual Triumph Over Death and Conscious Encounters with "The Divine Presence"
Consider intentions carefully. Karma gives a damn about ego, awards allegiance to none, and its justice is truly blind.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon -
Curses are like chickens, they always come home to roost.
Colleen Truscott Fry -
It's my opinion, with some people, just knowing they are alone, living inside of their own miserable, self hating, dysfunctional mind, with their own immature, insecure, self pitying self is its own revenge. Their existence is their karma.
Gary Hopkins -
Never allow dogmatic interpretations of Karma to keep you from defending what is right or just. You must accept the reality that on occasion, you may very well be the proper instrument of this cosmic force.
Eric Micha'el Leventhal -
From a universal perspective, what you do matters less than how you feel about what you do.
Alison Levine - On the Edge: The Art of High-Impact Leadership
How we treat people is always our choice, and if we choose not to be respectful, it can come back to bite us.
Raphael Zernoff -
Karma does never return to punish. Its role is to assist with solving what has been left uncompleted. It always returns to you, when you are strong enough to look at it. You never are asked to deal with more than you can handle. So relax and accept what is being offered to you. Accept it as a gift of love.
Steven Rowley -
Dogs, on the other hand... dogs have pure souls. Look at me." I grab her chin and look straight into her eyes. "Dogs are always good and full of selfless love. They are undiluted vessels of joy who never, ever deserve anything bad that happens to them. Especially you. Since the day I met you, you have done nothing but make my life better in every possible way. Do you understand?

Osho - Bliss: Living beyond happiness and misery
Whenever you’ll open your eyes, you will find nothing but ugliness and misery all around you. Everything looks fine when you are in an unconscious state. This is the reason why you find it difficult to conceive: CONSCIOUSNESS IS THE BEING. You say, ”Impossible!” That’s why one needs to go through pain. That is called tapascharya, spiritual practice. Whenever one begins to become aware, first he will have to go through suffering. For lives you have created misery around you, who else would pass t
Anirban Bose - The Death of Mitali Dotto
The sins of men aren't confined to them. They travel like ripples over water, over many generations till someone gets revenge or finds forgiveness. You and I, we are all paying for our father's sins, aren't we?

Joyce Cary - The Horse's Mouth
Plantie is a very strong Protestant, that is to say, he's against all churches, especially the Protestant: and he thinks a lot of Buddha, Karma and Confucius. He is also a bit of an anarchist and three or four years ago he took up Einstein and vitamins.
Justin Southwick -
In life in general we get back what we put out, if we ever were to find ourselves in a situation where we get back less or even the opposite of what we put out, then we need to get out, take ourselves out of that situation, for it is futile to try to go against the grain of feelings, emotions, life... it is not only going to lead to nowhere but pain, it is also going to lead to loneliness, bitterness, sadness, despair and heartbreak. so for those of you who are going through this currently, brus
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi -
What we have done, the result of that comes to us whenever it comes, either today, tomorrow, hundred years later, hundred lives later, whatever, whatever. And so, it's our own karma. That is why that philosophy in every religion: Killing is sin. Killing is sin in every religion.
Imelda Staunton -
I don't feel the need for religion. But I went on a yoga retreat last year and I do believe slightly in the karma thing and just being good and true unto yourself. And I slightly believe that you can attract good and bad to you.
Sandra Bullock -

Russell Simmons -
If you give a good thing to the world, then over time your karma will be good, and you'll receive good.
Steve Jobs -
You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.
Henrik Fisker -
At a European auto show, I had someone from a German car company come up to me and say the Karma should cost $125,000, not $87,900, but our development process lets us lower the costs. I guarantee it's profitable.
Henrik Fisker -
We designed a car that is for daily commutes and that you charge every day. The less you use the gasoline engine, the better mpg. Essentially, the Karma can achieve dramatic savings and low CO2 output when used as intended, as a daily commuter.
Kesha -

Yannick Noah -
I believe in Karma. If the good is sown, the good is collected. When positive things are made, that returns well.
Alicia Silverstone -
Being vegan just gives you such great karma.
Marcia Wallace -
I don't know what religious people do. I kind of wished I'd been a Christian with the blind faith that God is doing the right thing. As a Buddhist, you feel like you have more control over the situation, and that you can change your karma.
Mahavira -
Attachment and aversion are the root cause of karma, and karma originates from infatuation. Karma is the root cause of birth and death, and these are said to be the source of misery. None can escape the effect of their own past karma.
Vinoba Bhave -
Though the names karma yoga and sannyasa are different, the truth at the heart of both is the same.
Zeena Schreck - Beatdom #11: The Nature Issue
When we don’t put the brakes on our self-absorption, we have nothing stopping us from total self-destruction. We become the fruits of our actions.
Raheel Farooq -
Love, endure, persist... Everything will return to you, innocent fool!
Mark X. - Citations: A Brief Anthology
As for karma itself, it is apparently only that which binds "jiva" (sentience, life, spirit, etc.) with "ajiva" (the lifeless, material aspect of this world) - perhaps not unlike that which science seeks to bind energy with mass (if I understand either concept correctly). But it is only through asceticism that one might shed his predestined karmic allotment.I suppose this is what I still don't quite understand in any of these shramanic philosophies, though - their end-game. Their "moksha", or "m
Eknath Easwaran - The End of Sorrow
The law of karma says that no matter what context I find myself in, it is neither my parents, nor my science teacher, nor the mailman, but I alone who have brought myself into this state because of my past actions. Instead of trapping me in a fatalistic snare, this gives me freedom. Because I alone have brought myself into my present condition, I myself, by working hard and striving earnestly, can reach the supreme state which is nirvana.
Stefan Emunds - Gawain and the Green Knight
Wake up! You’re a sacred soul and glory is yours for the taking.
Stefan Emunds - Gawain and the Green Knight
At least I’m the one leaving. It’s so much easier to leave than to be left.
Stefan Emunds - Gawain and the Green Knight
Waiting for one’s execution is worse than dying. To seek my beheading is glory. Who went to his execution willingly? Jesus did. Jesus even dragged his cross half way to Golgotha. I think he would have nailed himself to the cross if he had to.
Stefan Emunds - Gawain and the Green Knight
The world is an ambitious business. It continuously expands and evolves. But people are lazy and God is far too lovely to do something about it.
Stefan Emunds - Gawain and the Green Knight
Honor is a balancing act and only the heart can strike that balance.
Tammy Wooster -
For my own piece of mind, I will forget those who have screwed me over this past year and here recently, but "Aunt Karma" won't forget you. Good luck with her, I heard she's a bitch!!!
Samanth Subramanian - This Divided Island: Stories from the Sri Lankan War
It is the postscript to the war that offers the most revelatory and startling commentary on Dutugemunu's life. Despite his newfound wealth and his peactime luxuries, Dutugemunu wanders gloomily about his palace, too often remembering the carnage he wrought on the battlefield and worried over the deep karmic deficits he has incurred. The elders of the Sangha, the Buddhist clergy, notice this and send a delegation of eight monks to minister to his anguish. 'In truth, venerable sirs,' Dutugemunu te
Robin Sacredfire -
We must always reflect only what we wish to see reflected within us.
Hope Bradford - Oracle of Compassion: The Living Word of Kuan Yin
Kuan Yin Speaks on Reincarnation: “Beliefs are so powerful that they can create expansive or entrapping lifetimes over and over…Another life offers another opportunity, a chance to switch flavors so to speak. Taking oneself too personally, however, can cause a soul to get caught up, stuck in redundancy: in a particular (and perhaps unfortunate) flavor. In such instances, the individual is forgetting one has the ability to choose from a variety of flavors, lives!
Vivian Elisabeth Glyck - 12 Lessons on Life I Learned from My Garden: Spiritual Guidance from the Vegtable Patch
I've realized that everything is about relationships. I've witnessed that ultimately you can't take what you don't give because there is a master bookkeeper out there who keeps accounts balanced. This fundamental link between man, plants, and the earth has been documented since the dawn of civilization.
