Quote by -Johann Von Goethe

Quote by -Dalai Lama
Every single being, even those who are hostile to us, is just as afraid of suffering as we are, and seeks happiness in the same way we do. Every person has the same right as we do to be happy and not to suffer. So let's take care of others wholeheartedly, of both our friends and our enemies. This is the basis for true compassion.
Quote by -Dalai Lama
Compassion is the wish for another being to be free from suffering; love is wanting them to have happiness.
Quote by -Dalai Lama
