Dalai Lama

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

I believe that we are fundamentally the same and have the same basic potential.

Love and compassion open our own inner life, reducing stress, distrust and loneliness.

More often than not, anger is actually an indication of weakness rather than of strength.

By going beyond your own problems and taking care of others, you gain inner strength, self-confidence, courage, and a greater sense of calm.

If we have a positive mental attitude, then even when surrounded by hostility, we shall not lack inner peace.

Genuine love should first be directed at oneself � if we do not love ourselves, how can we love others?

With the realization of ones own potential and self-confidence in ones ability, one can build a better world.

The key to transforming our hearts and minds is to have an understanding of how our thoughts and emotions work.

I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not judge the universe.

People take different roads seeking fulfilment and happiness. Just because theyre not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost.

With realization of ones own potential and self-confidence in ones ability, one can build a better world.

Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.

Remember that sometimes not getting what you want is a wonderful stroke of luck.

Consider that not only do negative thoughts and emotions destroy our experience of peace, they also undermine our health.

The greatest antidote to insecurity and the sense of fear is compassion � it brings one back to the basis of one's inner strength

There is no need for temples, no need for complicated philosophies. My brain and my heart are my temples; my philosophy is kindness.

Happiness mainly comes from our own attitude, rather than from external factors.

It is difficult to achieve a spirit of genuine cooperation as long as people remain indifferent to the feelings and happiness of others.

The most important thing is transforming our minds, for a new way of thinking, a new outlook: we should strive to develop a new inner world.

Compassion and happiness are not a sign of weakness but a sign of strength.

See the positive side, the potential, and make an effort.

Happiness does not come about only due to external circumstances; it mainly derives from inner attitudes.
