The purpose of our lives is to be happy.

A sense of contentment is crucial to being happy. Physical health, material wealth and friends contribute to this, but contentment governs our relations with them all.

Happiness is determined more by one's state of mind than by external events.

When you talk you are only repeating something you already know. But, if you listen you may learn something new.

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

So the smart brain must be balanced with a warm heart, a good heart -a sense of responsibility, of concern for the well-being of others.

When we are motivated by compassion and wisdom, the results of our actions benefit everyone, not just our individual selves.
