"Who has magnificent self-confidenceAnd fears nothing that..." - Quote by Dalai Lama

“I have never been any place where I was not first invited. And upon invitation, if I feel that there is potential for making some contribution to humanity, I will comply in spite of being tired.”

“... Our individual well-being is intimately connected both with that of all others and with the environment within which we live.... Our every action, our every deed, word, and thought, no matter how slight or inconsequential it may seem, has an implication not only for ourselves, but for all others, too.”

“The more we are concerned for the well being of others, the closer we will feel to each other.”

“Cultivating care and concern for others gives rise to a kind of inner strength. No matter what difficulties or problems you face, in this wider context they’ll seem less significant and troubling to you. The inner strength, self-confidence and courage you gain by focussing on others’ needs instead of your own, brings with it a deep, calm sense of satisfaction.”

“Your confidence in the people, and your doubt about them, are closely related to your self-confidence and your self-doubt.”

“The trust that we put in ourselves makes us feel trust in others.”

“There must be no fear, no begging, but demanding - demanding the Highest. The true devotees of the Mother are as hard, as adamant and as fearless as lions. They are not in the least upset if the whole universe suddenly crumbles into dust at their feet. Make Her listen to you. None of that cringing to Mother! Remember, She is all-powerful; She can make heroes out of stones.”

“Mastering others is strength. Mastering oneself makes you fearless.”

“Nonviolence and cowardice go ill together. True nonviolence is an impossibility without the possession of unadulterated fearlessness.”
