"We are visitors on this planet.

We are here for perhaps ninety or one hundred years at the very most.

During that period we must try to do something good, something useful with our lives.

If you contribute to other people's happiness,

you will find the true goal, the true meaning of life."

-His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet

"Treat the Earth well.

We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors,

we borrow it from our children."
