"We need a little more compassion, and..." - Quote by Dalai Lama

“To defy the authority of empirical evidence is to disqualify oneself as someone worthy of critical engagement in a dialogue.”

“At the beginning of this century, people never questioned the effectiveness of war, never thought there could be real peace. Now, people are tired of war and see it as ineffective in solving anything.”

“Love and compassion benefit both ourselves and others. Through kindness to others, your heart and mind will be peaceful and open.”

“Wolves and bears, they say, casting their savagery aside, have done like offices of pity.”

“Where you are, whatever your condition is; Always try to be a lover.”

“Love, compassion and concern for others are real sources of happiness. If you have these in abundance, you will not be disturbed even by the most uncomfortable circumstances. If you nurse hatred, however, you will not be happy even in the lap of luxury. Thus, if we really want happiness, we must widen the sphere of love. This is both religious thinking and basic common sense.”

“A man is a golden impossibility. The line he must walk is a hair's breadth. The wise through excess of wisdom is made a fool.”

“I realize that I'm black, but I like to be viewed as a person, and that's everybody's wish... I try to be a role model for black kids, white kids, yellow kids, green kids. This is what I felt was good about my personality.”

“We love and lose in China, we weep on England's moors, and laugh and moan in Guinea, and thrive on Spanish shores. We seek success in Finland, are born and die in Maine. In minor ways we differ, in major we're the same.”
