I found a shorter phrase than Marcus Aurelias (that is a joke)

[ChieftheCef]

Good is ink. Goodness spreads from one person, from one place, from one thing, to other people. Bad is the same way. And when at the darkest triumph of torture one bad thought will lead to more badness, but the Buddhists have a better, longer fix to that.

Knowing that your action affect reality in a new way is exceedingly beneficial to the world.

I like it. But I voted the other way, as the principle of impermanence is one of the more useful things I learned from Buddhism (though I have a Christian take on it).
