Dalai Lama

When you lose, don't lose the lesson.

Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them.

With kindness, with love and compassion, with this feeling that is the essence of brotherhood, sisterhood, one will have inner peace. This compassionate feeling is the basis of inner peace.

Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.

I believe that at every level of society the key to a happier world is the growth of compassion.  We do not need to become religious, nor do we need to believe in an ideology.  All that is necessary is for each of us to develop our good human qualities.

I believe compassion to be one of the few things we can practice that will bring immediate and long-term happiness to our lives. I'm not talking about the short-term gratification of pleasures like sex, drugs or gambling (though I'm not knocking them), but something that will bring true and lasting happiness. The kind that sticks.
