The refined form of "human" body, mind, culture and consciousness that we
witness today is the result of countless unsuccessful efforts spanning over millions
of years. We cannot afford to waste such a precious life only on education,
marriage, children, chasing wealth and pangs of old age.
-Deep Trivedi
Quotations
Human
Man needs to choose, not just accept his destiny.
-Paulo Coelho "Paulo Coelho, The Fifth Mountain"
No man is so foolish but he may sometimes give another good counsel, and no man so wise that he may not easily err if he takes no other counsel than his own.
-Hunter S. Thompson "Hunter. S. Thompson"
Every person has both a bad heart and a good heart. No matter how good a man seems, he has some evil. No matter how bad a man seems, there is some good about him. No man is perfect.
-Mohawk Tradition "Mohawk tradition"
Human rights are...the quintessential values through which we affirm together that we are a single human community.
-Radhika Coomaraswamy "Radhika Coomaraswamy"
I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will.
-Charlotte Brontë "Charlotte Bronte, Jane Eyre"
The childishness of a human being is; on one hand, he is competing to take
credit for success, on the other hand, he is always seeking out an opportunity to
blame someone else for his failure. Consequently, he is never able to analyze
any event accurately.
-Deep Trivedi
The highest form of human intelligence is to observe yourself without judgment.
-J. Krishnamurti "J. Krishnamurti"
How strange are we? We don't have claws like a tiger, yet we growl at others,
don't have venom like snakes, yet harbour animosities; don't have wings like
birds, still keep flying in the fantasy world. When you do not possess any human
quality, how will you achieve success in life?
-Deep Trivedi
There are no greater treasures than the highest human qualities such as compassion, courage and hope. Not even tragic accident or disaster can destroy such treasures of the heart.
-A Spiritual Leader "Daisaku Ikeda"
