To be kind, honest and have positive thoughts; to forgive those who harm us and treat everyone as a friend; to help those who are suffering and never to consider ourselves superior to anyone else: even if this advice seems rather simplistic, make the effort of seeing whether by following it you can find greater happiness.

On a daily basis, you must take more care of your mind than just money, money, money!

If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito.

For change to happen in any community, the initiative must come from the individual.

Always engage yourself positively with situations.

The proper way to create friends is to have a warm heart, not simply money or power. The friend of power and the friend of money are something different.

Buddha was speaking about reality. Reality may be one, in its deepest essence, but Buddha also stated that all propositions about reality are only contingent. Reality is devoid of any intrinsic identity that can be captured by any one single proposition - that is what Buddha meant by "voidness." Therefore, Buddhism strongly discourages blind faith and fanaticism.
