If you focus only on yourself and neglect others, you will lose; but you will gain if you value others as much as you cherish yourself.
Dalai LamaIf one's life is simple, contentment has to come. Simplicity is extremely important for happiness. Having few desires, feeling satisfied with what you have, is very vital: satisfaction with just enough food, clothing, and shelter to protect yourself from the elements.
Dalai LamaHard times build determination and inner strength. Through them we can also come to appreciate the uselessness of anger.
