If children only sharpen their brains at school, there’s no guarantee they won’t go on to make trouble. To balance their keen brains, they need a warm heart. The more compassionate they learn to be, the more useful members of society they’re likely to become.

It's important to recognize that if human conflicts are created by the misuse of human intelligence, we can also utilize our intelligence to find ways and means to overcome them. When human intelligence and human goodness are used together, all our actions become constructive.

Each of us must learn to work not just for his or her own self, family, or nation, but for the benefit of all humankind. Universal responsibility is the real key to human survival. It is the best foundation for world peace.

Compassion and love are not a luxury; they are essential to our existence. Without a sense of caring, there can be no sense of community. We must learn to work not just for our own self, family, or nation, but for the benefit of all humankind.

A meaningful life is not about material gain, power or fame; these are only of passing value. True meaning comes from an inner sense of peace and contentment, which in turn must be based on a sense of caring and love for others.

We must strive to cultivate feelings of kindness, compassion, and love for others, viewing our fellow human beings as brothers and sisters, regardless of their race, nationality or religion. A warm heart can bring joy to our own lives and to the lives of those around us.

Compassion is a state of mind unable to bear the sufferings of others. If we all had more compassion, there would be greater peace in the world.

It is important to be honest and truthful in all our dealings with others. A meaningful life is one that is based on moral integrity, honesty and truthfulness.x

Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease. It helps remove whatever fears or insecurities we may have and gives us the strength to cope with any obstacles we encounter. It is the principal source of success in life.

Compassion is the source of true joy, peace and happiness. It is the foundation of a good heart, the essence of a meaningful life, and the fundamental principle for creating a better world.
