Dalai Lama

When you think everything is someone else's fault, you will suffer a lot.

We must conduct research and then accept the results. If they don't stand up to experimentation, Buddha`s own words must be rejected.

Delusions are states of mind which, when they arise within our mental continuum, leave us disturbed, confused and unhappy. Therefore, those states of mind which delude or afflict us are called 'delusions.'

Physically you are a human being, but mentally you are incomplete. Given that we have this physical human form, we must safeguard our mental capacity for judgment. For that, we cannot take out insurance; the insurance company is within: self-discipline, self-awareness, and a clear realization of the disadvantages of anger and the positive effects of kindness.

I am open to the guidance of synchronicity, and do not let expectations hinder my path.

The truly good gaze upon everything with love and understanding.

I believe that the very purpose of life is to be happy. From the very core of our being, we desire contentment. In my own limited experience I have found that the more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being.

Love and kindness are the very basis of society. If we lose these feelings, society will face tremendous difficulties; the survival of humanity will be endangered.

Be a good human being, a warm-hearted affectionate person. That is my fundamental belief. Having a sense of caring, a feeling of compassion will bring happiness of peace of mind to oneself and automatically create a positive atmosphere.

So long as space remains _x000D_ _x000D_ So long as sentient beings'_x000D_ _x000D_ Suffering remains _x000D_ _x000D_ I will remain_x000D_ _x000D_ In order to help,_x000D_ _x000D_ In order to serve.

To conquer oneself is a greater victory than to conquer thousands in a battle.

I always try to share with others the idea that in order to become compassionate it is not necessary to become religious.

Peace of mind is the basis of a healthy body and a healthy mind; so peace of mind, a calm mind, is very, very important.

I really feel that some people neglect and overlook compassion because they associate it with religion. Of course, everyone is free to choose whether they pay religion any regard, but to neglect compassion is a mistake because it is the source of our own well-being.

It is the enemy who can truly teach us to practice the virtues of compassion and tolerance.

I believe that at every level of society the key to a happier world is the growth of compassion. We do not need to become religious, nor do we need to believe in an ideology. All that is necessary is for each of us to develop our good human qualities.

World economies are always so tenuous and we are subject to so many losses in life, but a compassionate attitude is something we can always carry with us.

I truly believe that compassion provides the basis of human survival.

Compassion instills a sense of calm, inner strength, and a deep confidence and satisfaction

For those who may not find happiness to exercise religious faith, it's okay to remain a radical atheist; it's absolutely an individual right, but the important thing is with a compassionate heart - then no problem.

No matter what activity or practice we are pursuing, there isn't anything that isn't made easier through constant familiarity and training (I think you can apply this to soccer as well)
