Little drops of water,
Little grains of sand,
Make the mighty ocean
And the pleasant land:
So the little minutes,
Humble though they be,
Make the mighty ages
Of eternity.

Little words of love,
Help to make earth happy
Like the heaven above.

I believe all suffering is caused by ignorance. People
inflict pain on others in the selfish pursuit of their happiness
or satisfaction. Yet true happiness comes from a sense of
peace and contentment, which in turn must be achieved through
the cultivation of altruism, of love and
compassion,
and elimination of ignorance, selfishness, and greed.
- Dalai Lama, 1989 Nobel Peace-Prize Speech
