A compassionate attitude helps you communicate more easily with your fellow human beings. As a result, you make more genuine friends and the atmosphere around you is more positive, which gives you greater inner strength. This inner strength helps you spontaneously concern yourself with others, instead of thinking only about yourself.
Dalai LamaCompassion should be unbiased and based on the recognition that others have the right to happiness, just like you.
Dalai LamaFirst one must change. I first watch myself, check myself, then expect changes from others.
Dalai Lama
