These quotes come from the 14th and current Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, who was born in 1935. He has also been quoted as saying he may be the last Dalai Lama reincarnation. This has a lot to do with the People’s Republic of China taking control of Tibet and insisting they will select the 15th Dalai Lama. Anyway, I’ll count down the list, Letterman-style. Thanks to The Ririan Project for putting these together.

“Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.”
