Many Tibetans sacrifice their lives.

You're dead if you aim only for kids. Adults are only kids grown up, anyway.

Your worth consists in what you are and not in what you have.

Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.

The main purpose of life is to live rightly, think rightly, acts rightly. The soul must languish when we give all our thought to the body.

An unjust law is itself a species of violence. Arrest for its breach is more so.

The gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing positive knowledge.

Never lose a holy curiosity.

To deprive a man of his natural liberty and to deny to him the ordinary amenities of life is worse then starving the body; it is starvation of the soul, the dweller in the body.

An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind.

He who gives away shall have real gain. He who subdues himself shall be free; he shall cease to be a slave of passions. The righteous man casts off evil, and by rooting out lust, bitterness, and illusion do we reach Nirvana.

I am confident I will set foot again in Tibet in my lifetime.
