Everyone is born a king, and most people die in exile.
-Oscar Wilde
Be determined. The Tempter masters the lazy and irresolute man who dwells on the attractive side of things, ungoverned in his senses, and unrestrained in his food, like the wind overcomes a rotten tree.
Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.
-Thomas Jefferson
Have respect for the Self and no one can take your self respect.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

for the sake of their old age?
-Deep Trivedi
