14th Dalai Lama

Live so when your children think of fairness and integrity they think of you.

14th Dalai Lama

Look at situations from all angles, and you will become more open.

14th Dalai Lama

Many people think that to be patient in bearing loss is a sign of weakness. I think this is a mistake. It is anger that is a sign of weakness, whereas patience is a sign of strength.

14th Dalai Lama

Most of our problems are related to the mind, so we have to work to reduce our destructive emotions.

14th Dalai Lama

Motivation is very important. We can show love, respect for others, and honesty in whatever we do to help humanity.

14th Dalai Lama

No one can afford to assume that someone else will solve their problems.

14th Dalai Lama

On a mental level kindness and compassion give rise to lasting joy. They reduce fear.

14th Dalai Lama

Once you encourage the thought of compassion in your mind, once it becomes active, then your attitude towards others changes automatically.

14th Dalai Lama

One has to try to develop one’s inner feelings, which can be done simply by training one’s mind. This is a priceless human asset and one you don’t have to pay income tax on!

14th Dalai Lama

One interesting thing about greed is that although the underlying motive is to seek satisfaction, the irony is that even after obtaining the object of your desire you are still not satisfied. The true antidote of greed is contentment.
