Dalai Lama

I describe myself as a simple Buddhist monk. No more, no less.

We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves.

If you can, help others; if you cannot do that, at least do not harm them.

We have not overthrown the divine right of kings to fall down for the divine right of experts.

I like to catch fish and release them. I probably haven't killed a fish that I've caught in sport fishing for 20 years. No reason to kill it. You know, just take it and release it.

I am and always will be a leader.
