“Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness.”

Happiness is your nature. It is not wrong to desire it. What is wrong is seeking it outside when it is inside.

The purpose of our lives is to be happy.

The seed of suffering in you may be strong, but don't wait until you have no more suffering before allowing yourself to be happy.

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

Dwell on the beauty of life.

And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.

If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.

I would like to make a film to tell children: it's good to be alive.
