- Dalai Lama

 Be gentle first with yourself - if you wish to be gentle with others.
- Lama Yeshe
The key to happiness is inner peace.
The greatest obstacles to inner peace are disturbing emotions
such as anger, attachment, fear and suspicion,
while love and compassion and a sense of universal responsibility
are the sources of peace and happiness.
- Dalai Lama
Nothing can bring you peace but yourself.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
We can never obtain peace in the outer world
until we make peace with ourselves.
- Dalai Lama
Do not lose your inner peace for anything whatsoever,
even if your whole world seems upset.
- Saint Francis de Sales
At the center of your being you have the answer;
you know who you are and you know what you want.
- Lao Tzu
Stop! Breathe deeply.
Begin bringing peace to the outer world by regaining your own inner peace.
Choose love, choose gratitude, choose forgiveness, choose peace.
Begin with your own inner peace.
Then use that inner peace as a platform from which to
approach the outer world with perspective, understanding, and patience.
