Quotable Quotes Part II

He also had the personal integrity and a well defined purpose in his life.
He would often tell us that if given a second Chance to live,
he would do exactly what he had done in his first.
But the usual dialogue by the others would be,
" I will never do what I have done in this life!"

Praise

Praise is the best diet for us, after all.
Rev. Sidney Smith

I have seen people go to any extent to eat this best diet!

The advantage of doing one's praising for oneself is that
one can lay it on so thick and exactly in the right places.
Samuel Butler

It will work as long as there is someone listening - besides the speaker.

All censure of a man's self is oblique praise.
It is in order to show how much he can spare.
Samuel Johnson

The world never lacked either self appointed police or preachers!

What Anon said has been put to practice by your Dad!! Thats really great!! My father (no more now) also used to say " whatever we do on daily basis whether in group or alone should not be embrassable to all around us if we were to die immidiately"...

Cheers to such fathers who guided us all.

It is the Love that makes life worth living.
Love may of any of these forms:
Love to one's family,
Love to the whole humanity,
Love towards animals,
Love towards Nature,
Love towards Arts,
Love towards Science,
Love towards Literature and so on.
He who is unable to love anyone or anything
other than himself in not a human being at all!
That is why "God is Love" and "Love is God!"

Our thoughts are like the ripples created on a water surface by a stone thrown in it.
The keep spreading farther and farther.
One thought will give rise to many others associated with it.
The most difficult thing is to control the thought process.
When this is done the mind becomes tamed and
the intellect as sharp and concentrated as a laser beam.
By pointing it away from the world and into yourself,
you are sure realize your true self, the Atman or Brahman.
 
"It is a curious sensation: the sort of pain that goes mercifully beyond our powers of feeling. When your heart is broken, your boats are burned: nothing matters any more. It is the end of happiness and the beginning of peace. "


- George Bernard Shaw

 
"The liar's punishment is not in the least that he is not believed, but that he cannot believe anyone else."

Every dawn has a dusk
and every dusk a dawn.
Every day ends in a night and
every night begins in a day.
