"When we meet real tragedy in life,..." - Quote by Dalai Lama

“A genuine, affectionate smile is very important in our day-to-day lives.”

“Afflictive emotions - our jealousy, anger, hatred, fear - can be put to an end. When you realize that these emotions are only temporary, that they always pass on like clouds in the sky, you also realize they can ultimately be abandoned.”

“When educating the minds of our youth, we must not forget to educate their hearts.”

“Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May.”

“These are not dark days: these are great days - the greatest days our country has ever lived.”

“It is... very helpful to think of adversity not so much as a threat to our peace of mind but rather as the very means by which patience is attained.”

“Life can be magnificent and overwhelming -- that is the whole tragedy. Without beauty, love, or danger it would almost be easy to live.”

“Disastrous would have been the result if a fire or a death had suddenly demanded something heroic of human nature, but tragedies come in the hungry hours.”

“In all disputes, a point is arrived at where no party, no matter how right or wrong it might have been at the start of that dispute, will any longer be totally in the right or totally in the wrong. Such a point I believe, has been reached in this debate... Let us not equivocate. A tragedy of unprecedented proportions is unfolding in Africa.”
