"Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves."

Famous Speech by Abraham Lincoln- The Gettyburg Address 

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition thatall men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

the interrelated structure of reality.

All I'm saying is simply this, that all life is interrelated, that somehow we're caught in an inescapable network of mutuality tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly. For some strange reason, I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. You can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be. This is the interrelated structure of reality

Dalai Lama Quotes On Kindness 

Whether one believes in a religion or not, and whether one believes in rebirth or not, there isn't anyone who doesn't appreciate kindness and compassion.
~Dalai Lama Quotes On Kindness

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.
~Dalai Lama Quotes On Kindness

This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.
~Dalai Lama Quotes On Kindness

Dalai Lama Quotes On Happiness 

"One great question underlies our experience, whether we think about it or not: what is the purpose of life? From the moment of birth every human being wants happiness and does not want suffering. Neither social conditioning nor education nor ideology affects this. From the very core of our being, we simply desire contentment. Therefore, it is important to discover what will bring about the greatest degree of happiness.
~Dalai Lama Quotes On Happiness

One of the characteristics of karmic theory is that there is a definite, commensurate relationship between cause and effect. There is no way that negative actions or unwholesome deeds can result in joy and happiness. Joy and happiness, by definition, are the results or fruits of wholesome actions. So from that point of view, it is possible for us to admire not so much the immediate action, but the real causes of joy.
~Dalai Lama Quotes On Happiness

I think that every human being has an innate sense of "I". We cannot explain why that feeling is there, but it is. Along with it comes a desire for happiness and a wish to overcome suffering. This is quite justified: we have a natural right to achieve as much happiness as possible, and we also have the right to overcome suffering.
~Dalai Lama Quotes On Happiness

When we feel love and kindness toward others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace.
~Dalai Lama Quotes On Happiness

Dalai Lama Quotes On Rebirth 

We are born and reborn countless number of times, and it is possible that each being has been our parent at one time or another. Therefore, it is likely that all beings in this universe have familial connections.
~Dalai Lama Quotes On Rebirth

Dalai Lama Quotation On Love 

If there is love, there is hope to have real families, real brotherhood, real equanimity, real peace. If the love within your mind is lost, if you continue to see other beings as enemies, then no matter how much nowledge or education you have, no matter how much material progress is made, only suffering and confusion will ensue.
~Dalai Lama Quotes On Love

Human beings will continue to deceive and overpower one another. Basically, everyone exists in the very nature of suffering, so to abuse or mistreat each other is futile. The foundation of all spiritual practice is love. That you practice this well is my only request.
~Dalai Lama Quotes On Love

One can overcome the forces of negative emotions, like anger and hatred, by cultivating their counterforces,like love and compassion.
~Dalai Lama Quotes On Love

Dalai Lama Quotes on Compassion 

If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.
~Dalai Lama Quotes on Compassion

Compassion is not religious business, it is human business, it is not luxury, it is essential for our own peace and mental stability, it is essential for human survival.
~Dalai Lama Quotes on Compassion

Compassion can be put into practice if one recognizes the fact that every human being is a member of humanity and the human family regardless of differences in religion, culture, color and creed.Deep down there is no difference.
~Dalai Lama Quotes on Compassion

Dalai Lama Quotes on Purpose 

Whether we are rich or poor, educated or uneducated, whatever our nationality, color, social status, or ideology may be, the purpose of our lives is to be happy.
~Dalai Lama Quotes on Purpose

Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them.
~Dalai Lama Quotes on Purpose

The purpose of all the major religious traditions is not to construct big temples on the outside, but to create temples of goodness and compassion inside, in our hearts.
~Dalai Lama Quotes on Purpose

Dalai Lama Quotes on Peace 

We can never obtain peace in the world if we neglect the inner world and don't make peace with ourselves. World peace must develop out of inner peace.
~Dalai Lama Quotes on Peace

Just as we should cultivate more gentle and peaceful relations with our fellow human beings, we should also extend that same kind of attitude towards the natural environment. Morally speaking, we should be concerned for our whole environment.
~Dalai Lama Quotes On Peace

Peace starts within each one of us. When we have inner peace, we can be at peace with those around us. When our community is in a state of peace, it can share that peace with neighboring communities.
~Dalai Lama Quotes On Peace

Dalai Lama Quotes On Suffering 

Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.
~Dalai Lama Quotes On Suffering

If you have fear of some pain or suffering, you should examine whether there is anything you can do about it. If you can, there is no need to worry about it; if you cannot do anything, then also there is no need to worry.
~Dalai Lama Quotes On Suffering

Encountering sufferings will definitely contribute to the elevation of your spiritual practice, provided you are able to transform calamity and misfortune into the path.
~Dalai Lama Quotes On Suffering

Dalai Lama Quotes on The Environment 

As people alive today, we must consider future generations: a clean environment is a human right like any other. It is therefore part of our responsibility towards others to ensure that the world we pass on is as healthy, if not healthier, than we found it.
~Dalai Lama Quotes on The Environment

Peace and the survival of life on earth as we know it are threatened by human activities that lack a commitment to humanitarian values. Destruction of nature and natural resources results from ignorance, greed and lack of respect for the earth´s living things.
~Dalai Lama Quotes on The Environment

Just as we should cultivate gentle and peaceful relations with our fellow human beings, we should also extend that same kind of attitude towards the natural environment. Morally speaking, we should be concerned for our whole environment.
~Dalai Lama Quotes on The Environment

Dalai Lama Quotes On Friendship 

Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend -- or a meaningful day.
~Dalai Lama

 



May I become at all times,
Both now and for ever,
A protector for the helpless,
A guide for the lost ones,
A ship for those to cross oceans,
And a bridge to cross rivers,
A sanctuary for those in danger,
A lamp for those in darkness,
A refuge for those who need shelter,
A servant to all in need.

~Dalai Lama

Mother Teresa Quotes On Giving and Serving Others 

We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.
~Mother Teresa

If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one.
~Mother Teresa

The miracle is not that we do this work, but that we are happy to do it.
~Mother Teresa

Let us touch the dying, the poor, the lonely and the unwanted according
to the graces we have received and let us not be ashamed or slow to
do the humble work.
~Mother Teresa

Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person.
~Mother Teresa

Mother Teresa Quotes On God 

I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish
that He didn't trust me so much.
~Mother Teresa

Let us more and more insist on raising funds of love, of kindness,
of understanding, of peace. Money will come if we seek first the
Kingdom of God - the rest will be given.
~Mother Teresa

I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a
love letter to the world.
~Mother Teresa

God doesn't require us to succeed; he only requires that you try.
~Mother Teresa

Mother Teresa Quotes On Poverty 

It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish.
~Mother Teresa

Our life of poverty is as necessary as the work itself. Only in heaven
will we see how much we owe to the poor for helping us to love
God better because of them.
~Mother Teresa

We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless.
The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest
poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty.
~Mother Teresa

Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty.
~Mother Teresa

When a poor person dies of hunger, it has not happened because God did not take care of him or her. It has happened because neither you nor I wanted to give that person what he or she needed.
~Mother Teresa

Mother Teresa Quotes on Love 

Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do... but how much love we put in that action.
~Mother Teresa

It is not the magnitude of our actions but the amount of love that is
put into them that matters.
~Mother Teresa

The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.
~Mother Teresa

If you judge people, you have no time to love them.
~Mother Teresa

I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can
be no more hurt, only more love.
~Mother Teresa

Everytime you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to
that person, a beautiful thing.
~Mother Teresa

It is easy to love the people far away. It is not always easy to
love those close to us. It is easier to give a cup of rice to relieve
hunger than to relieve the loneliness and pain of someone unloved
in our own home. Bring love into your home for this is where our
love for each other must start.
~Mother Teresa

Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you
without leaving happier.
~Mother Teresa

Love begins by taking care of the closest ones - the ones at home.
~Mother Teresa

If we want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To
keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.
~Mother Teresa

Intense love does not measure, it just gives.
~Mother Teresa

Good works are links that form a chain of love.
~Mother Teresa

Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within reach of every hand.
~Mother Teresa

Even the rich are hungry for love, for being cared for, for being wanted, for having someone to call their own.
~Mother Teresa

In this life we cannot do great things. We can only do small things with great love.
~Mother teresa

Kindness is a language we all understand. Even the blind can see it and the deaf can hear it.
~ Mother Teresa

Mother Teresa Quotes on Peace 

A smile is the beginning of peace.
~Mother Teresa~

If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.
~Mother Teresa~

Famous Mother Teresa Prayer- The Final Analysis Prayer 

People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway.

What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway.

Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway.

In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.

Watch and send this flaash movie entitled Final Analysis to your friends. It is based on the above Mother Teresa Prayer.
