"We live within the environment. So that..." - Quote by Dalai Lama

“If you develop a pure and sincere motivation, if you are motivated by a wish to help on the basis of kindness, compassion, and respect, then you can carry on any kind of work, in any field, and function more effectively.”

“Happiness is determined more by one's state of mind than by external events.”

“Most of our problems are related to the mind, so we have to work to reduce our destructive emotions.”

“In my walks, I would fain return to my senses. What business have I in the woods if I am thinking of something out of the woods?”

“Nowadays almost all man's improvements, so called, as the building of houses and the cutting down of the forest and of all large trees, simply deform the landscape, and make it more and more tame and cheap.”

“The forests are held cheap after the white pine has been culled out; and the explorers and hunters pray for rain only to clear theatmosphere of smoke.”

“The planet will not survive another hundred years of the same state of consciousness that produced the external effects of recent history.”

“In time of war, soldiers, however sensible, care a great deal more on some occasions about slaking their thirst than about the danger of enteric fever. Better known as typhoid, the disease is often spread by drinking contaminated water.”

“No longer living in fear, my pistol close in hand, Convinced this is my year.”
