14th Dalai Lama

If one assumes a humble attitude, one’s own good qualities will increase. Whereas if one is proud, one will become jealous of others, one will look down on others, and due to that there will be unhappiness in society.

14th Dalai Lama

If one’s cause is supported by sound reasoning, there is no point in using violence. It is those who have no motive other than selfish desire and who cannot achieve their goal through logical reasoning who rely on force.

14th Dalai Lama

If others are happy, we will be happy. If others suffer, ultimately we all suffer.

14th Dalai Lama

If our tears do not lead us to act then we have lost the reason of our humanity, which is compassion.

14th Dalai Lama

If people lack moral values and integrity, no system of laws and regulations will be adequate.

14th Dalai Lama

If the mind is dominated by hatred, the best part of the brain, which is used to judge right and wrong, does not function properly.

14th Dalai Lama

If we continue to approach problems from the perspective of temporary expediency, future generations will face tremendous difficulties.

14th Dalai Lama

If we have no inner peace, we deceive ourselves into thinking that comfort and prosperity will bring happiness.

14th Dalai Lama

If we lose our human values by having everything mechanied, then machines will dictate our lives.

14th Dalai Lama

If we want spiritual development, the practice of patience is essential.
