A tree with strong roots can withstand the most violent storm, but the tree can't grow roots just as the storm appears on the horizon.
Dalai LamaWhether we like it or not, we have all been born into this world as part of one great human family. Rich or poor, educated or uneducated, belonging to one nation or another, to one religion or another, adhering to this ideology or that, ultimately each of is just a human being like everyone else. We all desire happiness and do not want suffering.
Dalai LamaThe rationale for loving others is the recognition of the simple fact that every living being has the same right to and the same desire for happiness, and not suffering, and the consideration that you as one individual are one life unit as compared with the mulititude of others in their ceaseless quest for happiness.
Dalai LamaTime passes unhindered. When we make mistakes, we cannot turn the clock back and try again. All we can do is use the present well.
