"Try to improve. Don't expect too much,..." - Quote by Dalai Lama

“All beings come from a mother's womb. We should have a clear realization of the oneness of all humanity.”

“Now is the time when your action is practice.”

“Non-violence means dialogue, using our language, the human language. Dialogue means compromise; respecting each other’s rights; in the spirit of reconciliation there is a real solution to conflict and disagreement. There is no hundred percent winner, no hundred percent loser—not that way but half-and-half. That is the practical way, the only way.”

“Embrace bad news to learn where you need the most improvement.”

“Until recently, over 98 percent of teachers just got one word of feedback: Satisfactory. If all my bridge coach ever told me was that I was 'satisfactory,' I would have no hope of ever getting better.”

“We are accustomed to say, that the mass of men are unprepared; but improvement is slow, because the few are not materially wiser or better than the many.”

“There is no history of how bad became better.”

“Our work in global health is about things like cutting childhood deaths, and every year we continue to make progress there.”

“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.”
