If we do not know how to take care of ourselves and to love ourselves, we cannot take care of the people we love. Loving oneself is the foundation for loving another person.

The moment you understand the importance of loving yourself, you will stop hurting others.

There may be a time when a country will have to wake up from a vision of happiness, when they have to realize that theirs is not the perfect idea, that there are many aspects that do not correspond to the reality of what is there, the real need and aspirations of the people.

We can help many people suffer less and realize a lot of happiness without being rich or influential. If love and compassion are in out hearts, every thought, word, and deed can bring about a miracle

When your mind is liberated, your heart floods with compassion.

We need to move beyond the idea of 'environment' and fall back in love with Mother Earth.

I am in the present. I don't think of the past. I don't think of the future.
