Enjoy 1- Happiness is not something ready-made. It comes from your own actions. 2- If you can, help others; if you cannot do that, at least do not harm them. 3- If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. 4- My religion is very simple. 5- Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck. 6- The ultimate authority must always rest with the individual’s own reason and critical analysis. 7- We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection. 8- We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves. 9- Be kind whenever possible. 10- If you have fear of some pain or suffering, you should examine whether there is anything you can do about it.
