If you have a particular faith or religion, that is good. But you can survive without it.

More often than not, anger is actually an indication of weakness rather than of strength.

It is our enemies who provide us with the challenge we need to develop the qualities of tolerance, patience and compassion.

It is a question of our own peace and mental stability.

If others are happy, we will be happy. If others suffer, ultimately we all suffer.

The most compassionate form of giving is done with no thought or expectation of reward, and grounded in genuine concern for others.

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