If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete.

I can't give you a recipe for success, but I can give you a recipe for failure: try to please everybody.

You have to fail in order to practice being brave.

A genuinely happy person is one who has rendered others happy.

Learning never exhausts the mind.

A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved.

Success isn’t about how your life looks to others; it’s about how it feels to you.

Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it.

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.

The heart is not like a box that gets filled up; it expands in size the more you love.

Real generosity toward the future lies in giving all to the present.
