“Just one small positive thought in the morning can change your whole day.”

“Never mistake my silence for ignorance, my calm for acceptance, or my kindness for weakness. Compassion and tolerance are not a sign of weakness, but a sign of strength.”

“Man surprised me the most about humanity. Because he sacrifices his health to earn money. Then he sacrifices money to get his health back. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result is that he does not live in the present nor in the future; he lives as if he were never going to die, and then he dies never having lived”.

“Give those you love wings to fly, roots to return to and reasons to stay.”

“Every day, while you wake up, think, today I am lucky to be alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart to others; to reach out. enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. I will have kind thoughts towards others, I will not get angry or think ill of others. I will benefit others as much as I can.”

“Whether rich or poor, educated or illiterate, religious or non-believer, male or female, black, white or brown, we are all the same. Physically, emotionally, and mentally, we are all the same. We all share basic needs for food, shelter, security and love We all aspire to happiness and we all avoid suffering Each of us has hopes, worries, fears and dreams Each of us wants the best for family and loved ones We all experience pain when we experience loss and joy when we achieve what we seek. At this fundamental level, religion, ethnicity, culture and language make no difference.”

Therefore, it is important to discover what will bring the greatest degree of happiness.”

In this sense, there is no need for a temple or church, mosque or synagogue, no need for complicated philosophies, doctrines or dogmas Our own heart, our own mind, is the temple Doctrine is compassion Love for others and respect for their rights and dignity, no matter who or what they are: ultimately, this is all we need.”
