--Culakammavibhanga Sutta
We learn as much from sorrow as from joy, as much from illness as from health, from handicap as from advantage and indeed perhaps more.
-Pearl S. Buck
The ultimate source of peace in the family, the country, and the world is altruism.
-His Holiness the Dalai Lama, The Meaning of Life
