Happiness cannot come from hatred or anger.
Nobody can say, "Today I am happy because
this morning I was very angry." On the contrary,
people feel uneasy and sad and say, "Today I
am not happy because I lost my temper this
morning." Through kindness, whether at our
own level or at the national and international
level, through mutual understanding and
through mutual respect, we will get peace,
we will get happiness, and we will get genuine satisfaction.
-His Holiness the Dalai Lama
From "The Pocket Dalai Lama"
