"First one must change. I first watch..." - Quote by Dalai Lama

“If through practice of insight you develop a sense of ease, then time has no relevance. If you're miserable, time does matter. It's so unbearable, so enormous you want to get out of it as soon as possible.”

“It is maybe not the best choice to have a favorite anything.”

“To my mind, there are two things that, in life, you can do about death. Either you can choose to ignore it, in which case you may have some success in making the idea of it go away for a limited period of time, or you can confront the prospect of your own death and try to analyze it and, in so doing, try to minimize some of the inevitable suffering that it causes. Neither way can you actually overcome it.”

“Don't just consume things, create things”

“If you want things to change, You have to change. If you want things to be better, You have to be better.”

“Man's duty is to improve himself; to cultivate his mind; and, when he finds himself going astray, to bring the moral law to bear upon himself.”

“Opinion is like a pendulum and obeys the same law.”

“How stunning are the changes which age makes in a man while he sleeps!”

“If you don't like the scene you're in, if you're unhappy, if you're lonely, if you don't feel that things are happening, change your scene. Paint a new backdrop.”
