Warm-heartedness reinforces our self-confidence – giving us not a blind confidence, but a sense of confidence based on reason.

The quality of everything we do: our physical actions, our verbal actions, and even our mental actions, depends on our motivation.

Patience guards us against losing our presence of mind so we can remain undisturbed, even when the situation is really difficult.

Actively promoting the positive inner qualities of the human heart will be appreciated by all.

Once you realize that compassion is useful, that it is something really worthwhile, you immediately develop a willingness to cultivate it.

Even our personal virtues, such as patience and our sense of ethics, are all developed in dependence upon others.

Fear, hatred, and suspicion narrow your mind – compassion opens it.

Whenever I meet someone I try to look for their positive qualities, which immediately gives me a feeling of connectedness with them.

Just as we need good physical health we also need strength of mind to ensure our well-being; and we develop it by cultivating ethics.

As individuals and nations become increasingly interdependent, we have no choice but to develop a sense of universal responsibility.
