"The greater the force of your compassion,..." - Quote by Dalai Lama

“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.”

“Tolerance and patience should not be read as signs of weakness.They are signs of strength.”

“Like the lotus which thrives in mud, the potential for realization grows in the rich soil of everyday life”

“A child is a child in any country, whatever the politics. Let's get down to basics. That's what a child forces you to do. Nothing else much matters, there is no complicated diplomacy, when a child is starving. It's simple. And we'd better do something about it. For our sakes, too. That is, if we want to continue to call ourselves human.”

“Hail to the man who went through life always helping others, knowing no fear, and to whom aggressiveness and resentment are alien. Such is the stuff of which the great moral leaders are made.”

“Gentleness brings victory to him who attacks, and safety to him who defends. Those whom Heaven would save, it fences round with gentleness.”

“No matter what the situation may be, there is always something positive you can do about it.”

“As long as what is is-and Georgia is Georgia-I will take Harlem for mine. At least, if trouble comes, I will have my own window to shoot from.”

“Remember that adversity presents us with numerous possibilities for success, if we are just willing to see them.”
