Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.

Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive.

It is necessary to help others, not only in our prayers, but in our daily lives. If we find we cannot help others, the least we can do is to desist from harming them.

   

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

   

We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves.

   

Whether one believes in a religion or not, and whether one believes in rebirth or not, there isn't anyone who doesn't appreciate kindness and compassion.

   

If you have a particular faith or religion, that is good. But you can survive without it.

   

Where ignorance is our master, there is no possibility of real peace.
