Crabbed age and youth cannot live together; :nono:
Youth is full of pleasance, :happy:
age is full of care. :suspicious:

O! beware, my lord, of jealousy;
It is the green-ey'd monster which doth mock
The meat it feeds on. :scared:

Night's candles are burnt out, and jocund day
Stands on tiptoe on the misty mountain tops.

William Shakespeare.

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.

O brave new world,
That has such people in it. :clap2:

The strain of man's bred out :whoo:

Into baboon and monkey. :doh:

William Shakespeare.

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

An Englishman thinks he is moral
when he is uncomfortable. :whoo:

This creature man, who in his selfish affairs is a coward to the backbone, will fight for an idea like a hero. :fencing:

(The bard is a genius! Any better way to define a Man?)

There are two tragedies in life. out:
One is not to get your heart's desire.
The other is to get it.

William Shakespeare.

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

வருமுன் நம்மைக் காப்பவன்!

முள்ளினுள் ரோஜாவை வைத்தவன்,
கல்லினுள் ஈரத்தையும் வைத்தான்.

வருமானம் இல்லாத பெற்றோருக்குப்
பொறுப்புடன் பேணும் நல்ல மகன்கள்;

ஊதாரி மகனை பேணும் தந்தைக்கு
மாதாந்திர உயர்ந்த வருமானம்;

ஊனம் உற்றவனைப் பேணுவதற்கு,
நான்கு நல்ல அண்ணன் தம்பிகள்; :crutch:

தொலைவில் மகன் இருப்பவருக்கு,
அளவிட முடியாத நல்ல நண்பர்கள்; :grouphug:

அன்னையற்ற குழந்தைக்கு அன்னை,
குழந்தை அற்ற அன்னைக்கு குழந்தை; :baby:

மனம் கனிந்து தருபவன் மாறாக் கருணை
குணம் உடைய இறைவன் அன்றோ! :hail:

You have echoed my post # 23 under "Price Rise". Thanks for showing both the sides of the coin.

At everyone of those concerts in England you will find

rows of weary people who are there, :flock:

not because they really like classical music, but

because they think they ought to like it.


Marriage is popular because it combines the

maximum temptation :hug:

with the maximum opportunity. :kiss:


He who can does.

He who cannot teaches.

starting with poor me!) out:

Locations and directions!!!

Have you ever thought about this...

how the 'bottom of our top half '

becomes

the 'top of our bottom half'-

since it is right in the

'middle' of our 'back'. :dizzy:

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Gray vs Black.

God has a lot of foresight.
We do lack that very sight.

When men become old,
Their heads become bald.

No problem for our dear men
It matches with color of skin.

For the aging good ladies
The hair becomes sparse!

The scalp shows well through
The hair set in scanty waves. :help:

White will merge with white
And not become an ugly sight.

God has made scalp white,
Since the hair will be light.

Dyeing makes it a real sight :scared:
The scalp shows forthright!

Women too become bald
With age like men very old.

Which is better Oh lady fair!
Bald head or white hair??? :decision:

A miss is as good as a mile.

A poor workman always blames his tools

Give a man enough rope and he will hang himself

Fish and Guests small after three days

Equality is fundamental in every department of social organization.

Every man over forty is a scoundrel. :spy:

(Did the immortal bard make such a sweeping statement!)

Titles ...
distinguish the mediocre, :decision:

embarrass the superior, :embarassed:

and are

disgraced by the inferior.:doh:

William Shakespeare.

Liberty means responsibility. That is why most men dread it. :fear:

Man is a creature of habit. You cannot write three plays and stop. :nono:

There is only one religion, :angel:

Madam,

I generally look for quotes of interest but sometimes some turn out to be good and some
do not find to be good. But yours are really very excellent and one can jot it down to remember.

In the North like Delhi, Bus stand is known as Bus Station. So they call it Bus Station is
where the Bus stops and the Train Station is where the Train Stops but to me my Desk is
my Work Station. Don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things. That is all.

Dear Sir,

No need to jot down the quotes.

You can read them any time either from the thread itself or from my blogs!

These quotes are very good since they are from poems by those authors.
Thank you for the feedback. :welcome:

The smilies help me to add punch to my posts :boxing:
and make their meanings clear.
with warm regards, ray2:

It might make one in love with death, to think that one should be buried in so sweet a place. :happy:

To that high Capital, where king Death
Keeps his pale court in beauty and decay. :fear:

Whence are we, and why are we? of what scene :noidea:
The actors or spectators?

Percy Bysshe Shelley.

Why is it that you must wait until night to call it a day!

Why is that night falls but day breaks!

Do Lipton employees take Coffee break!

If a word in the Dictionary were misspelled how would we know!

The day finishes when the night starts. So we can call it a day only after it is over and not during the day!

The Sun falls in the west and the night falls along with it.
But the Sun has to break through the darkness to make another day.
So the 'day breaks' and the 'night falls'.

Sure they do but their coffee may smell like tea
due to the prevailing aroma!

The words can not be misspelled in a Dictionary - since it is the authority as far spellings, pronunciation and meanings of words are concerned.

மங்கல வழக்கு என்று ஒன்று உண்டு.
அமங்கலமான சொற்களையும் மனம்
புண் படாதவாறு அழகாகக் கூறுவது!
அது இப்போது எங்கே போய்விட்டது ???:noidea:

இன்னும் ஒரு தலைப்பு தமிழ் ஆராய்ச்சிக்கு! :nerd:
உபயம் நான் என்றே வைத்துக் கொள்ளுங்கள்!

"மணி அடித்தால் சோறு!
மயிர் முளைத்தால் மொட்டை!"
[மயிர் முளைக்கவிட்டாலும் மொட்டை தான்!] :whoo:

அதையும் இன்னொரு தலைப்பாக
ஆராய்ச்சிக்கு வைத்துக் கொள்ளலாம்!

உதிர்ந்தது?? :decision: முளைக்கவேயில்லை??

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Some people live always in the two extremes.

They want their coffee boiling hot or ice cold. :flame:

They will dress up like a magpie or go about in

crumpled dress. :hat:

They will be extremely generous or extremely stingy.

They will be extremely tolerant or

extremely intolerant and violent. :whip:

Such people are described by the quote

"Vaiththaal kudumi, siraiththaal mottai."

Let us wait and watch what explanations our forum

friends come up with!

Day after day a weary waste of hours. :bored:

The orbed maiden with white fire laden,
Whom the mortals call the moon.

"How wonderful is Death :rip:
Death and his brother sleep!"

[Visalakshi Ramani]

My last delight! tell them that they are dull, :bored:

And bid them own that thou art beautiful.


The spirit of the worm beneath the sod,
In love and worship, blends itself with God. :angel:


True Love in this differs from gold and clay,
That to divide is not to take away. :nono:

P.B. Shelley.

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

I never was attached to that great sect,
Whose doctrine is, that each one should select
Out of the crowd a mistress or a friend, :hug:
And all the rest, though fair and wise, commend
To cold oblivion. :hand:

Fame is love disguised. :hail:

Youth will stand foremost ever. :llama:

P.B. Shelley.

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Virtue owns a more eternal foe
than Force or Fraud; old Custom, legal Crime,
And bloody Faith the foulest birth of Time.

Good night? ah! no; the hour is ill
Which serves those it should unite;
Let us remain together still,
Then it will be good night.

P. B. Shelley.
