"A simple smile. That's the start ofopening..." - Quote by Dalai Lama

“We are working as hard as we can; we are preparing ourselves as carefully as we can; we fully intend to make our contribution to the world in the coming century.”

“Compassion is the radicalism of our time.”

“True compassion is not just an emotional response but a firm commitment founded on reason.”

“A smile is your greatest social asset.”

“A smile is the same as sunshine; it banishes winter from the human countenance.”

“When you wake up in the morning, smile - and get it over with.”

“He who is cruel to animals becomes hard also in his dealings with men. We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals.”

“In politics, throwing the taxpayers' money at disasters is supposed to show your compassion. But robbing Peter to pay Paul is not compassion. It is politics.”

“I used to suffer particularly because the poor animals must endure so much pain and want. The sight of an old, limping horse being dragged along by one man while another man struck him witha stick he was being driven to the Colmar slaughterhouse - haunted me for weeks.”
