"Happiness comes through taming the mind; without..." - Quote by Dalai Lama
Happiness comes through taming the mind; without taming the mind there is no way to be happy

“Human happiness and human satisfaction must ultimately come from within oneself. It is wrong to expect some final satisfaction to come from money or from a computer.”
“The simple recognition that everyone else wants to be happy and not to suffer, just as I do, serves as a constant reminder against selfishness and partiality. It reminds us there is little to be gained from being kind and generous while hoping to win something in return. Actions motivated by a desire to earn a good name for ourselves are still selfish, even if they appear to be acts of kindness.”
“Everyday, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to be alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it.”

“I have always considered marriage as the most interesting event of one's life, the foundation of happiness or misery.”
“Certainly I believe that God gave us life for happiness, not misery. Humanity, I am sure, will never be made lazy or indifferent by an excess of happiness. Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose. Happiness should be a means of accomplishment, like health, not an end in itself.”
“Ah, on what little things does happiness depend.”
