Dalai Lama

The most crucial use of knowledge and education is to understand the importance of developing a good heart.

Education can’t focus only on developing our wonderful brain. We also need warm-heartedness. This is my view.

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

A mind committed to compassion is like an overflowing reservoir – a constant source of energy, determination and kindness.

Being neededdoes not entail selfish pride or unhealthy attachment to the worldly esteem of others. Rather, it consists of a natural human hunger to serve our fellow men and women.

Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others is the ultimate source of success in life.

If you’re going to be able to look back on something and laugh about it, you might as well laugh about it now.

Let’s make ourselves happy

The intense happiness of our union is derived in a high degree from the perfect freedom with which we each follow and declare our own impressions.

A lifetime of happiness? No man alive could bear it; it would be hell on earth.

It’s time for you to claim the happiness that you deserve in your life.

If only we’d stop trying to be happy we could have a pretty good time.

They’ve got no idea what happiness is, they don’t know that without this love there is no happiness or unhappiness for us–there is no life.

Happy is harder than money. Anyone who thinks money will make them happy, doesn’t have money.

I love people who make me laugh.

Whether happiness may come or not, one should try and prepare one’s self to do without it.

A happy life is just a string of happy moments. But most people don’t allow the happy moment, because they’re so busy trying to get a happy life.

Happiness is the absence of striving for happiness.

Happiness does not depend on outward things, but on the way we see them.

Cheerfulness and contentment are great beautifiers, and are famous preservers of good looks.

You traverse the world in search of happiness, which is within the reach of every man. A contented mind confers it on all.
