If you want to be happy, practice compassion." ― Dalai Lama Topic(s): Happiness More From Dalai Lama "Our prime purpose in this life is to help others.

You may develop some kind of confusion or difficulties." More In Happiness "The unproductive tillage of human cattle takes that which of right belongs to free labor, and which is necessary for the support and happiness of our own race."― David Wilmot "I admit I can’t shake the idea that there is virtue in suffering, that there is a sort of psychic economy, whereby if you embrace success, happiness and comfort, these things have to be paid for."― Hugh Laurie "Of course, to have money is just great because you can do what you think is important to you. I always was a rich person because money’s not related to happiness."― Paulo Coelho
