Dalai Lama--Tenzin Gyatso

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

If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito.

Love is the absence of judgment.

My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.

Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.

Silence is sometimes the best answer.

Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them.

This is my simple religion. No need for temples. No need for complicated philosophy. Your own mind, your own heart is the temple. Your philosophy is simple kindness.

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

The whole purpose of religion is to facilitate love and compassion, patience, tolerance, humility, and forgiveness.

We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection.

Because we all share this planet earth, we have to learn to live in harmony and peace with each other and with nature. This is not just a dream, but a necessity.
