They must often change who would be constant in happiness or wisdom.

True change is within; leave the outside as it is.

The way to change others' minds is with affection and not anger.

There is no denying that consideration of others is worthwhile and that our happiness is inextricably bound up with the happiness of others. There is no denying that if society suffers, we ourselves suffer, and the more our hearts and minds are afflicted with ill-will, the more miserable we become. We can reject religion, ideology, received wisdom, but we cannot escape the need for love and compassion.

I pray for all of us, oppressor and friend, that together we succeed in building a better world through human understanding and love, and that in doing so we may reduce the pain and suffering of all sentient beings.

There are only the wise of the highest class, and the stupid of the lowest class, who cannot be changed.
