Dalai Lama Quotes, Running Quotes, Self Quotes

Do not become the candle that gives light to others but itself remains in darkness. Do not follow the desires of your lower self. Should the Lord wish, He himself will pick you out and prompt you to be a source of guidance. He Himself shall endow you with the inner strength to endure the changes of fortune and will instill within you infinite wisdom.

The beginning of it is the ending of it. If you know how to read, supreme wisdom is to be found.
