Quote by Ashvaghosha
Thoughts of themselves have no substance; let them arise and pass away unheeded. Thoughts will not take form of themselves, unless they are grasped by the attention; if they are ignored, there will be no appearing and no disappearing.

If we choose not to give attention or importance to our thoughts, they will not manifest or disappear, illustrating the power we have in controlling their influence over us.
