“Most of the poverty and misery in the world is due to bad government, lack of democracy, weak states, internal strife, and so on.”

“As human beings we all want to be happy and free from misery… we have learned that the key to happiness is inner peace. The greatest obstacles to inner peace are disturbing emotions such as anger, attachment, fear and suspicion, while love and compassion and a sense of universal responsibility are the sources of peace and happiness.”
Dalai Lama
“Given the amount of unjust suffering and unhappiness in the world, I am deeply grateful for, sometimes even perplexed by, how much misery I have been spared.”
Dennis Prager
“Charity puts and end to poverty; righteous conduct to misery; discretion to ignorance; and scrutiny to fear.”
Chanakya
“It is by attempting to reach the top in a single leap that so much misery is caused in the world”
William Cobbett
“There is neither happiness nor misery in the world; there is only the comparison of one state to another, nothing more. He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness. We must have felt what it is to die, that we may appreciate the enjoyments of life.”
Alexandre Dumas
“It is seldom that the miserable of the world can help regarding their misery as a wrong inflicted by those who are less miserable.”
George Eliot
