Even a small act of compassion grants meaning and purpose to our lives.

Good human qualities-honesty, sincerity, a good heart-cannot be bought with money, nor can they be produced my machines, but only by the mind itself. We can call this the inner light, or God's blessing, or human qualitity. This is the essence of mankind.

Time passes unhindered. When we make mistakes, we cannot turn the clock back and try again. All we can do is use the present well.

We must generate courage equal to the size of the difficulties we face.

The best way of fulfilling your own interest is to take care of others.

If there is love, there is hope that one may have real families, real brotherhood, real equanimity, real peace. If the love within your mind is lost and you see other beings as enemies, then no matter how much knowledge or education or material comfort you have, only suffering and confusion will ensue.

Other human beings have a right to peace and happiness that is equal to our own; therefore we have a responsibility to help those in need.
