Men achieve a certain greatness unawares, when working to another aim. (Dalai Lama )
Bring me men to match my mountains: Bring me men to match my plains: Men with empires in their purpose and new eras in their brains. (Dalai Lama )
There is no meaning to life except the meaning man gives his life by unfolding of his powers. (Dalai Lama )
Be the business never so painful, you may have it done for money. (Dalai Lama )
What is my life if I am no longer useful to others. (Dalai Lama )
A purpose you impart is no longer your own. (Dalai Lama )
Be above it! Make the world serve your purpose, but do not serve it. (Dalai Lama )
Every person above the ordinary has a certain mission that they are called to fulfill. (Dalai Lama )
To the person with a firm purpose all men and things are servants. (Dalai Lama )
The purpose in life is to collaborate for a common cause; the problem is nobody seems to know what it is. (Dalai Lama )
Many people flounder about in life because they do not have a purpose, an objective toward which to work. (Dalai Lama )
The longest journey is the journey inwards. Of him who has chosen his destiny, Who has started upon his quest for the source of his being. (Dalai Lama )
Pray that your loneliness may spur you into finding something to live for, great enough to die for. (Dalai Lama )
It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end (Dalai Lama )
Many good purposes lie in the churchyard. (Dalai Lama )
Strong lives are motivated by dynamic purposes; lesser ones exist on wishes and inclinations. (Dalai Lama )
Multitudes of people, drifting aimlessly to and fro without a set purpose, deny themselves such fulfillment of their capacities, and the satisfying happiness which attends it. They are not wicked, they are only shallow. They are not mean or vicious; they simply are empty -- shake them and they would rattle like gourds. They lack range, depth, and conviction. Without purpose their lives ultimately wander into the morass of dissatisfaction. As we harness our abilities to a steady purpose and undertake the long pull toward its accomplishment, rich compensations reward us. A sense of purpose simplifies life and therefore concentrates our abilities; and concentration adds power. (Dalai Lama )
We need not only a purpose in life to give meaning to our existence but also something to give meaning to our suffering. We need as much something to suffer for as something to live for. (Dalai Lama )
For I say unto you in all sadness of conviction that to think great thoughts you must be heroes as well as idealists. Only when you have worked alone -- when you have felt around you are a black gulf of solitude more isolating than that which surrounds the dying man, and in hope and despair have trusted to your own unshaken will -- then only can you gain the secret isolated joy of the thinker, who knows that a hundred years after he is dead and forgotten men who have never heard of him will be moving to the measure of his thought -- the subtle rapture of postponed power, which the world knows not because it has no external trappings, but which to his prophetic vision is more real than that which commands an army. And if this joy should not be yours, still it is only thus you can know that you have done what lay in you to do -- can say that you have lived, and be ready for the end. (Dalai Lama )
The only way you can be successful on a post or win at it is to be at cause over it. (Dalai Lama )
The meaning of life is to give life meaning. (Dalai Lama )
