Humanity’s collective mission in the cosmos lies in the practice of compassion.
Hardships make us strong. Problems give birth to wisdom. Sorrows cultivate compassion. Those who have suffered the most will become the happiest.
Before comparing yourself with others, win the battle with yourself. Strive to be better today than yesterday, and better tomorrow than today.
Envying another’s beauty will diminish your own. But when you praise beauty in others your own beauty deepens.
There are no greater treasures than the highest human qualities such as compassion, courage and hope. Not even tragic accident or disaster can destroy such treasures of the heart.

The person who lives life fully, glowing with life’s energy, is the person who lives a successful life.
Sometimes we complain without thinking much of it, but the frightening thing about complaining is that every time we do, a cloud descends over our heart, and our hope, appreciation and joy gradually wane.

Life can unfold unlimitedly as long as we have a heart of appreciation and an undefeated mind.
Freedom doesn’t mean the absence of all restrictions. It means possessing unshakable conviction in the face of any obstacle.
No matter what our personal circumstances may be, if we ourselves become a source of light, then there will be no darkness in the world.
People who are rooted in the here and now, who are not defeated by their limitations, who don’t compare themselves to others, who confidently advance along their chosen path-such people are happy, such people are truly great.
With love and patience, nothing is impossible.
Keep moving forward, even one or two steps, in your own way. Those who live out their lives to the fullest, unperturbed by the noisy clamor around them, are the true winners.
To be fearless no matter what happens-that is the root of true happiness. To move forward resolutely regardless of what lies in store-that is the spirit, the resolve, that leads to human victory.
A person’s true nature is revealed at times of the greatest adversity.
While conservatism and self-protection might be likened to winter, night, and death, the spirit of pioneering and attempting to realize ideals evokes images of spring, morning, and birth.
