Our purpose in life is to be happy. From the very core of our being, we simply desire contentment.

Compassion is something really worthwhile. It is not just a religious or spiritual subject, not a matter of ideology. It is not a luxury, it is a necessity.

We humans have existed in our present form for about a hundred thousand years. I believe that if during this time the human mind had been primarily controlled by anger and hatred, our overall population would have decreased. But today, despite all our wars, we find that the human population is greater than ever. This clearly indicates to me that love and compassion predominate in the world. And this is why unpleasant events are "news"; compassionate activities are so much a part of daily life that they are taken for granted and , therefore, largely ignored.

Once a year go someplace you've never been.

I think there's every reason this 21st century will be much happier.

The goal is not to be better than the other man, but your previous self.

In some cases is keeping your mouth shut the best answer.
