All the Difference

“I never said 'I want to be alone.' I only said 'I want to be let alone.' This is all the difference.”
-― Greta Garbo

Live life in a manner which...

When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life in such a manner that when you die the world cries and you rejoice.

--Indian Proverb

Daily Life Check

The very purpose of religion is to control yourself, not to criticize others. Rather, we must criticize ourselves. How much am I doing about my anger? About my attachment, about my hatred, about my pride, my jealousy? These are the things which we must check in daily life.

-- The Dalai Lama

Think!

Your time is limited, don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma, which is living the result of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinion drowned your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, they somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

-- Steve Jobs

Fault

When you think everything is someone else´s fault, you will suffer a lot. When you realize that everything springs only from yourself, you will learn both peace and joy. Pride leads to violence and evil. The truly good gaze upon everything with love and understanding.

-- Dalai Lama

Key to Happiness

As human beings we all want to be happy and free from misery… we have learned that the key to happiness is inner peace. The greatest obstacles to inner peace are disturbing emotions such as anger, attachment, fear and suspicion, while love and compassion and a sense of universal responsibility are the sources of peace and happiness.

-- Dalai Lama
