Compassion enhances our self-confidence because a calm mind allows our marvellous human intelligence to bloom. When we're angry, our thinking is distorted and we don't see the different aspects of reality. A calm mind enables us to take a broader, more realistic view.

14th Dalai Lama

It's never a failure if you learn something from it.

Benjamin Disraeli

All we have is all we need. All we need is the awareness of how blessed we really are.

Anyone who is steady in his determination for the advanced stage of spiritual realization and can equally tolerate the onslaughts of distress and happiness is certainly a person eligible for liberation.

A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

An inability to stay quiet is one of the conspicuous failings of mankind.

Walter Bagehot
