"Just because they're not on your road..." - Quote by Dalai Lama

“I have three commitments. Number one commitment is promotion of human value. Number two commitment is promotion of race harmony. Number three commitment is about Tibet. My retirement is the third commitment. The previous two commitments, to my death, I have committed.”

“The more we think of others, the happier we are. The more we think of ourselves, the more suffering we feel.”

“It is not enough to be compassionate. You must act. There are two aspects to action. One is to overcome the distortions and afflictions of your own mind, that is, in terms of calming and eventually dispelling anger. This is action out of compassion. The other is more social, more public. When something needs to be done in the world to rectify the wrongs, if one is really concerned with benefitting others, one needs to be engaged, involved.”

“We are too prone to engrave our trials in marble and write our blessings in sand.”

“There is no danger of developing eyestrain from looking at the bright side of things.”

“YOU are the big drop of dew under the lotus leaf, I am the smaller one on its upper side,' said the dewdrop to the lake.”

“Resistance to the organized mass can be effected only by the man who is as well organized in his individuality as the mass itself.”

“I desire that there be as many different persons in the world as possible; I would have each one be very careful to find out and preserve his own way.”

“The more one analyses people, the more all reasons for analysis disappear. Sooner or later one comes to that dreadful universal thing called human nature.”
