Quotable Quotes Part II

vgane said:
Science knows no country, because knowledge belongs to humanity, and is the torch which illuminates the world. Science is the highest personification of the nation because that nation will remain the first which carries the furthest the works of thought and intelligence.

Those who enter the field later are allowed to stand on the

shoulders of their predecessors and reach greater heights. :thumb:
 
Reputation

A man is always stronger while he is making a reputation
than he is after it is made.
Josh Billings

(Proves beyond doubts that reputation is as fragile as a glass flower.
Making it is difficult but breaking it is very easy.
Of course this statement is true of all kinds of making and breaking!)

I am now past the craggy paths of study and
come to the flowery plains of honor and reputation.
Ben Johnson.

A good reputation is more valuable than money.
Publilius Syrus.

(But will it help to borrow some money???) :noidea:
 
Resolution

Resolutions are like eels-
easy to catch, but hard to hang on to.
Alexander Dumas.

(Otherwise how on earth can we make the
same new year resolutions every year???)

Resolve to be thyself; and know, that he
Who finds himself, loses his misery.
Matthew Arnold.

(Sounds so much like our own philosophy
Discovering oneself will remove all sorrows.)
 


If a person desires to have an absolute mental satisfaction at the end of the day
prior to sleep, he/she should have a firm determination about the tasks to be
executed or planned while waking up as to what to do during the day.

Balasubramanian
 
“Do not brood over your past mistakes and failures as this will only fill your mind with grief, regret and depression. Do not repeat them in the future.”

Swami Sivananda
(1887-1963)
 
“This world is your best teacher. There is a lesson in everything. There is a lesson in each experience. Learn it and become wise. Every failure is a stepping stone to success. Every difficulty or disappointment is a trial of your faith. Every unpleasant incident or temptation is a test of your inner strength. Therefore nil desperandum. March forward hero!”

We must remember them so that
we will not repeat them in the future.
But living ruminating on the mistakes of the past
will surely spoil one's present as well as one's future.

Shakespeare also thought on the same lines!!!

"And this our life, exempt from public haunt,

Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks,

Sermons in stones, and good in every thing."
