Dalai lama Quote by Dalai Lama XIV

“We gain true friends by having a kind heart and not deceiving people. The friends that we make when we have power, position, and influence are friends based only upon our power, influence, and position. When we meet with misfortune and lose our wealth, these so-called friends leave us behind.” quote by Dalai Lama XIV — Download Open image
