"Human use, population, and technology have reached..." - Quote by Dalai Lama

“Compassion instills a sense of calm, inner strength, and a deep confidence and satisfaction”

“From that viewpoint, America, free country, democratic country, so more opportunity. Still is more sort of Alive. This is my feeling.”

“Go at least once a year to a place you've never been before.”

“I ask citizens and governments everywhere to do their part by conserving energy and reducing the use of fossil fuels for the good of the world community. This is our duty to those who share this world with us and to those who follow us: Wherever we see a threat to our environment we must take action”

“If your environment is not to your liking, change it!”

“The earth has enough resources for our need, but not for our greed.”

“Everyone wants to be happy; happiness is a right. And while on a secondary level differences exist of nationality, faith, family background, social status and so on, more important is that on a human level we are the same. None of us wants to face problems, and yet we create them by stressing our differences. If we see each other just as fellow human beings, there'll be no basis for fighting or conflict between us.”

“It is for the benefit of mankind to mitigate the horrors of war as much as possible.”

“I dream a world... where wretchedness will hang its head and joy, like a pearl, attends the needs of all mankind. Of such I dream, my world!”
