| Quote of the moment |
| To be aware of a single shortcoming within oneself is more useful than to be aware of a thousand in somebody else. Rather than speaking badly about people and in ways that will produce friction and unrest in their lives, we should practice a purer perception of them, and when we speak of others, speak of their good qualities. If you find yourself slandering anybody, first imagine that your mouth is filled with excrement. It will break you of the habit quickly enough. |
| ~ The Path to Tranquility, January 3, 14th Dalai Lama ~ |

| Quote of the moment |
| What is endeavor? It is finding joy in doing what is good. To do that, it is necessary to remove anything that counteracts it, expecially laziness. Related to these is taking undue pleasure in idleness and sleep and being indifferent to samsara as a state of suffering. |
