I have learned to seek my happiness by limiting my desires, rather than attempting to satisfy them.

My religion is Love and Compassion. - H.H. 14th Dalai Lama

Why be unhappy about something if it can be remedied? And what is the use of being unhappy about something if it cannot be remedied?

Letting go of desire is gaining the real happiness and satisfaction in our daily life.

Science without religion is blind. Religion without science is lame.

Do not cultivate any non virtuous action – cultivate only perfect virtuous action. Subdue your own mind: this is the teaching of Lord Buddha.

Mere learning is of no avail without actual practice. The learned man who does not practice is like a colorful flower without scent.

I learned to gain my happiness by reducing my desires.

There is no liberation without knowledge, there is no knowledge without compassion.

Be your own light.

One who conquers oneself is the greatest of victors.
