"Take into account that great love and..." - Quote by Dalai Lama

“Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend - or a meaningful day.”

“We are the creators of our own happiness and suffering, for everything originates in the mind.”

“As a Buddhist, I view death as a normal process, a reality that I accept will occur as long as I remain in this earthly existence. Knowing that I cannot escape it, I see no point in worrying about it. I tend to think of death as being like changing your clothes when they are old and worn out, rather than as some final end. Yet death is unpredictable: We do not know when or how it will take place. So it is only sensible to take certain precautions before it actually happens.”

“There are some things that it is better to begin than to refuse, even though the end may be dark.”

“If you hold your fire until you see the whites of his eyes, you will never know what hit you.”

“I'm increasingly inclined to think there should be some regulatory oversight, maybe at the national and international level just to make sure that we don't do something very foolish.”

“Mortal lovers must not try to remain at the first step; for lasting passion is the dream of a harlot and from it we wake in despair.”

“People are weird. When we find someone with weirdness that is compatible with ours, we team up and call it love.”

“Love requires that we overcome the traditional and self-defeating fears that place distance between ourselves and others.”
