Anger and hatred lead to fear; compassion and concern for others allow us to develop self-confidence, which breeds trust and friendship.

Be a good human being, a warm-hearted affectionate person. That is my fundamental belief. Having a sense of caring, a feeling of compassion will bring happiness of peace of mind to oneself and automatically create a positive atmosphere.

If a person's basic state of mind is serene and calm, then it is possible for this inner peace to overwhelm a painful physical experience.

Compassion is one of the principal things that make our lives meaningful. It is the source of all lasting happiness and joy.

Although you may not always be able to avoid difficult situations,you can modify the extent to which you can suffer by how you choose to respond to the situation.

I don't think human affection and compassion are just religious concerns; they're indispensable factors in our day-to-day lives.

A thousand candles can be lit from one candle, however the life of the original candle is not shortened in the least.
