Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.

Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.

We are made for loving. If we don’t love, we will be like plants without water.

It is the nature of desire not to be satisfied, and most men live only for the gratification of it.

The hottest love has the coldest end.

All conditioned things are impermanent — when one sees this with wisdom, one turns away from suffering.

With courage you will dare to take risks, have the strength to be compassionate, and the wisdom to be humble. Courage is the foundation of integrity.
