It seems to me that self confidence and the ability to stand one's ground are essential if we want to succeed in life.

We are all, by nature, clearly oriented toward the basic human values of love and compassion. We all prefer the love of others to their hatred. We all prefer others’ generosity to meanness. And who is there among us who does not prefer tolerance, respect and forgiveness of our failings to bigotry, disrespect, and resentment?
Dalai Lama
Inner disarmament, external disarmament these must go together, you see. Peace is not just mere absence of violence - genuine peace must start in each individual heart.
Dalai Lama
I always believed in love, compassion and a sense of universal respect. Every human being has that potential.

Because my main concern is the Tibetan Buddhist culture, not just political independence, I cannot seek self-rule for central Tibet and exclude the 4 million Tibetans in our two eastern provinces of Amdo and Kham.
Dalai Lama
Because the existing education system is oriented towards materialistic goals we need to pay special attention to inner values such as tolerance, forgiveness, love and compassion.

Whether someone believes something or not, believer or non-believer, as long as you are a member of the human family, you need warm human feeling, warmhearted feeling.

As far as mental development is concerned, we should never be complacent. We can develop our minds infinitely - there is no limitation.
Dalai Lama
If a problem is fixable, if a situation is such that you can do something about it, then there is no need to worry. If it's not fixable, then there is no help in worrying. There is no benefit in worrying whatsoever.
Dalai Lama
We need cooperation based on trust and self-confidence to create an open, compassionate, harmonious society.
