“Lack of understanding of the true nature of happiness, it seems to me, is the principal reason why people inflict sufferings on others. They think either that the other's pain may somehow be a cause of happiness for themselves or that their own happiness is more important, regardless of what pain it may cause. But this is shortsighted. No one truly benefits from causing harm to another sentient being. . . . . In the long run causing others misery and infringing their rights to peace and happiness result in anxiety, fear, and suspicion within oneself.”

“When we speak of a calm state of mind or peace of mind, we shouldn't confuse that with an insensitive state of apathy.

Peace of mind or a calm state of mind is rooted in affection and compassion and is sensitive and responsive to others.”

“A sense of contentment is a key factor for attaining happiness”

“If the mind is tranquil and occupied with positive thoughts, the body will not easily fall prey to disease”

“Let us our lives, our souls,Our debts, our careful wives,Our children, and our sins, lay on the King!”
