"I do not understand men. They spend..." - Quote by Dalai Lama

“The compassion we feel normally is biased and mixed with attachment. Genuine compassion flows towards all living beings, particularly your enemies. If I try to develop compassion towards my enemy, it may not benefit him directly, he may not even be aware of it. But it will immediately benefit me by calming my mind. On the other hand, if I dwell on how awful everything is, I immediately lose my peace of mind.”

“It is maybe not the best choice to have a favorite anything.”

“Learning to forgive is much more useful than merely picking up a stone and throwing it at the object of one's anger, the more so when the provocation is extreme. For it is under the greatest adversity that there exists the greatest potential for doing good, both for oneself and others.”

“Dare to live the life you have dreamed for yourself. Go forward and make your dreams come true.”

“Whatever you hold in your mind on a consistent basis is exactly what you will experience in your life.”

“When first things are put first, second things are not suppressed but increased.”

“Sugar is not so sweet to the palate as sound to the healthy ear.”

“The body is at its best between the ages of thirty and thirty-five.”

“Healthy habits are learned in the same way as unhealthy ones - through practice.”
