| Quote of the moment |
| When a problem first arises, try to remain humble, maintain a sincere attitude, and be concerned that the outcome is fair. Of course, others may try to take advantage of you, and if your remaining detached only encourages unjust aggression, adopt a strong stand. This, however, should be done with compassion, and if it is necessary to express your views and take strong countermeasures, do so without anger or ill intent. |

| Quote of the moment |
| True practitioners are unaffected by external pressures and their own emotions; they are free to secure the temporary and ultimate benefits of both themselves and others. They remain independent, fear nothing, and are never at odds with themselves. Always peaceful, they are friendly with all, and everything they say is helpful. Wherever we go, let us be humble and avoid being noisy or bossy. Let us not hurt other people's feelings or cause them to act negatively. |
| ~ The Path to Tranquility, August 10, 14th Dalai Lama ~ |

| O Death the Healer, scorn thou not, I pray, To come to me: of cureless ills thou art The one physician. Pain lays not its touch Upon a corpse. |

| Quote of the moment |
| Careless their merits or their faults to scan, His pity gave ere charity began. Thus to relieve the wretched was his pride, And even his failings lean'd to Virtue's side. |
| ~ Oliver Goldsmith, The Deserted Village. Line 161. ~ |
