"It’s in our interest to take care..." - Quote by Dalai Lama

“The nature of our motivation determines the character of our work.”

“Looking at various means of developing compassion, I think empathy is an important factor: the ability to appreciate others' suffering.”

“We must generate courage equal to the size of the difficulties we face.”

“Every obnoxious act is a cry for help.”

“You cannot laugh and be unkind at the same time”

“I used to suffer particularly because the poor animals must endure so much pain and want. The sight of an old, limping horse being dragged along by one man while another man struck him witha stick he was being driven to the Colmar slaughterhouse - haunted me for weeks.”

“Service without humility is selfishness and egotism.”

“All love is expansion, all selfishness is contraction. Love is therefore the only law of life. He who loves lives, he who is selfish is dying. Therefore love for love's sake, because it is the only law of life, just as you breathe to live.”

“By avarice and selfishness, and a groveling habit, from which none of us is free, of regarding the soil as property, or the means of acquiring property chiefly, the landscape is deformed, husbandry is degraded with us, and the farmer leads the meanest of lives. He knows Nature but as a robber.”
