I don't want to be a prisoner in a palace, living in such a constricted way - too tight!

My Brain and My Heart are my Temples. My true Religion is Kindness.

Compassion is something we can count on. Even if we face economic problems and our fortunes decline, we can still share our compassion with our fellow human beings. National and global economies are subject to many ups and downs, but through them all we can retain a compassionate attitude that will carry us through.

We don’t need more money, we don’t need greater success or fame, we don’t need the perfect body or even the perfect mate-right now, at this very moment, we have a mind, which is all the basic equipment we need to achieve complete happiness.

Human happiness and human satisfaction must ultimately come from within oneself. It is wrong to expect some final satisfaction to come from money or from a computer.

True spirituality is a mental attitude you can practice at any time.

The antidote to hatred in the heart, the source of violence, is tolerance.
