The proper way to create friends is to have a warm heart, not simply money or power. The friend of power and the friend of money are something different.
Dalai LamaOne can overcome the forces of negative emotions, like anger and hatred, by cultivating their counter-forces, like love and compassion.
Dalai LamaIf indeed the qualities such as love, patience, tolerance, and forgiveness are what happiness consists in, and if it is also true that compassion, defined as concern for others, is both the source and the fruit of these qualities, then the more we are compassionate, the more we provide for our own happiness.
Dalai Lama
