If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.
Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries.
Without them, humanity cannot survive.
If the love within your mind is lost and you see other beings as enemies, then no matter how much knowledge or education or material comfort you have, only suffering and confusion will ensue.
Only the development of compassion and understanding for others can bring us the tranquillity and happiness we all seek.
True compassion is universal in scope. It is accompanied by a feeling of responsibility.
A truly compassionate attitude toward others does not change even if they behave negatively or hurt you.
As people alive today, we must consider future generations: a clean environment is a human right like any other. It is therefore part of our responsibility toward others to ensure that the world we pass on is as healthy, if not healthier, than we found it.

Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.
Remember that sometimes not getting what you want is a wonderful stroke of luck

A good friend who points out mistakes and imperfections and rebukes evil is to be respected as if he reveals the secret of some hidden treasure.
The creatures that inhabit this earth--be they human beings or animals--are here to contribute, each in its own particular way, to the beauty and prosperity of the world.
Because we all share this planet earth, we have to learn to live in harmony and peace with each other and with nature. This is not just a dream, but a necessity.
