"It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves." ~ Sir Edmund Hillary. "I've learned that everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the happiness and growth occurs while you're climbing it."
"The day you take complete responsibility for yourself, the day you stop making any excuses, that's the day you start to the top."

The Dalai Lama speaks during a news conference in Seattle, April 13, 2008.
"Since we have our own unique cultural heritage, including our language,
our script, these matters should be in the hands of [Tibetans who know]
about our culture, about our religion." ~ The Dalai Lama
Dalai Lama is a Mongolian title, which means "Ocean of Wisdom". "Dalai" means "ocean" in Mongolian, and "Lama" (bla ma) is the Tibetan equivalent of the Sanskrit word "guru", and is commonly translated to mean "spiritual teacher".
"The Wisdom of the Heart"
from the 14th Dalai Lama
Nobel Peace Prize Laureate (1989)
1. Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
2. Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values.
3. Sleep is the best meditation.
4. Spend some time alone every day.
5. We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves.
6. Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.
7. We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection.
8. Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.
9. If you can, help others; if you cannot do that, at least do not harm them.
10. The ultimate authority must always rest with the individual's own reason and critical analysis.
