| Do your best and do it according to your own inner standard (call it conscience), not just according to society's knowledge and judgement of your deeds. "To do our best" is just a phrase of a few words, but it means that at all times in our everyday life we should check our mind so that we don't feel guilty about our mistakes, even though others don't know about it. If we do that, we are doing our best. |
| ~ The Path to Tranquility, November 28, 14th Dalai Lama ~ |

| As a philanthropist in general, and a friend to the Polynesians in particular, I hope that these Edens of the South Seas, blessed with fertile soils and peopled with happy natives, many being yet uncontaminated by the contact of civilization, will long remain unspoiled in their simplicity, beauty, and purity. And as for annexation, I beg to offer up an earnest prayer—and I entreat all present and all Christians to join me in it—that the banns of that union should be forbidden until we have found for ourselves a civilization morally, mentally, and physically higher than one which has culminated in almshouses, prisons, and hospitals. |
| ~ Herman Melville (1819–1891), U.S. author. “The South Seas” (1858-59), The Piazza Tales and Other Prose Pieces 1839-1860, The Writings of Herman Melville, vol. 9, eds. Harrison Hayford, Alma A. MacDougall, and G. Thomas Tanselle (1987). A lecture. ~ |
