When you talk, you are only repeating what you already know. But if you listen, you may learn something new.

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

A good friend who points out mistakes and imperfections and rebukes evil is to be respected as if he reveals a secret of hidden treasure.

The purpose of our lives is to be happy.

Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk.

If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

The goal is not to be better than the other man, but your previous self.

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

Give the ones you love wings to fly, roots to come back, and reasons to stay.

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

There are only two days in the year that nothing can be done. One is called yesterday and the other is called tomorrow, so today is the right day to love, believe, do and mostly live.

World peace must develop from inner peace. Peace is not just mere absence of violence. Peace is, I think, the manifestation of human compassion.

Share your knowledge. It is a way to achieve immortality.

If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito.

Time passes unhindered. When we make mistakes, we cannot turn the clock back and try again. All we can do is use the present well.

Every day, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to be alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it.

The true mark of a spiritual practitioner is that your own behavior is better, not that you can criticize others well.

The more you are motivated by love, the more fearless and free your actions will be.

Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values.
