| Quote of the moment |
| Simply being praised is of no substantial help at all: it does not increase people's good fortune, nor does it make them live any longer. If temporary pleasure is all you want, you might as well take drugs. Yet many people invest much money and even deceive their friends to win status. This is quite stupid. Their status and fame do not really help much in this life and do nothing for future lives. There is no point in being happy if we are famous, or unhappy because people speak ill of us. |
| ~ The Path to Tranquility, January 28, 14th Dalai Lama ~ |
