"Rulers come and go. It's the people..." - Quote by Dalai Lama

“An enemy is indeed a precious teacher.”

“Compassion is the wish to see others free from suffering.”

“My message is always the same: to cultivate and practice love, kindness, compassion and tolerance.”

“Democracy is the road to socialism.”

“Democracy will not come Today, this year Nor ever Through compromise and fear.”

“Democracy may become frenzied, but it has feelings and can be moved. As for aristocracy, it is always cold and never forgives.”

“... where does strength come from? It is not muscle strength any more. It is not also mere intellectual strength. What is strength? Strength is the support of the people.”

“It is wise to persuade people to do things and make them think it was their own idea.”

“Sure it's a big job; but I don't know anyone who can do it better than I can.”
