Yelling at living things does tend to kill the spirit in them. Sticks and stones may break our bones, but words will break our hearts.

 
Robert Fulghum
 

Accidents in the mountains are less common than in the lowlands, and these mountain mansions are decent, delightful, even divine, places to die in, compared with the doleful chambers of civilization. Few places in this world are more dangerous than home. Fear not, therefore, to try the mountain-passes. They will kill care, save you from deadly apathy, set you free, and call forth every faculty into vigorous, enthusiastic action. Even the sick should try these so-called dangerous passes, because for every unfortunate they kill, they cure a thousand.

 
John Muir
 

Since I retired to Cold Mountain
I’ve lived by eating mountain fruits
What is there to worry about?
Life passes according to karma
The months pass like a flowing stream
Days and nights like sparks from flint
Heaven and earth endlessly change
While I sit happily among these cliffs

 
Han Shan
 

Rattle his bones over the stones!
He's only a pauper, whom nobody owns!

 
Thomas Noel
 

Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me.
