-Charlotte Brontë "Charlotte Bronte, Jane Eyre"
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
Man needs to choose, not just accept his destiny.
-Paulo Coelho "Paulo Coelho, The Fifth Mountain"
You deserve to be called a human being only when you develop good feelings in you. Let your thoughts, words and deeds be suffused with sacred feelings.
-Sathya Sai Baba "Sathya Sai Baba"
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"

-Kjell Bondevik "Kjell Bondevik"
Hear with your ears, that which is the sovereign good. With a clear mind look upon the two sides, between which each man must choose for himself. Watchful beforehand that the great test may be accomplished in our favour.
-Scriptures "Avesta, Yasna 30.2-3"
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
Human rights are...the quintessential values through which we affirm together that we are a single human community.
-Radhika Coomaraswamy "Radhika Coomaraswamy"
