"The more I attempted to "be me" the more "me's" I found there were.
I now see that "being me" means acknowledging all that I feel at the moment, and then taking responsibility for my actions
by consciously choosing which level of my feelings
I am going to respond to."

Hugh Prather

"My message is the practice of compassion, love, and kindness. Compassion can be put into practice if one recognizes the fact that every human being is a member of humanity and the human family regardless of differences in religion, culture, color, and creed. Deep down there is no difference."

"By developing a sense of respect for others and a concern for their welfare, we reduce our own selfishness, which is the source of all problems, and enhance our sense of kindness which is a natural source of goodness."

"This is my simple religion.

Our own brain, our own heart is our temple;
the philosophy is kindness."

...His holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso,
