We are all, by nature, clearly oriented toward the basic human values of love and compassion. We all prefer the love of others to their hatred. We all prefer others’ generosity to meanness. And who is there among us who does not prefer tolerance, respect and forgiveness of our failings to bigotry, disrespect, and resentment?

We must cultivate a universal responsibility toward each other and extend it to the planet that we have to share

Live a good, honourable life. Then when you get older and look back, you'll be able to enjoy it a second time.

It is under the greatest adversity that there exists the greatest potential for doing good, both for oneself and others.

In order to be happy we must first possess inner contentment; and inner contentment doesn't come from having all we want; but rather from wanting and appreciating being grateful for all we have.

A Compassionate state of mind brings inner peace, and therefore a healthier body.

When you think everything is someone else's fault, you will suffer a lot. When you realize that everything springs only from yourself, you will learn both peace and joy.
