I'd rather be kind than right. You can always be kind.

Love is the absence of judgment.

I learn as much from a turtle as from a religious text.

Those who don't have a life filled with luxury may have a home filled with compassion, based on their choice to be content and to practice self-discipline. Even when we have physical hardships, we can be very happy.

When a person is in a miserable situation, then, yes, it is difficult to develop genuine compassion toward others. That's why I find it difficult to say to poor people, "Please have compassion toward millionaires." That's not easy.

The ultimate source of my mental happiness is my peace of mind. Nothing can destroy this except my own anger.

The wiser course is to think of others when pursuing our own happiness.
