War does not determine who is right - only who is left.
-Bertrand Russell
Nothing is more seductive for man than his freedom of conscience. But nothing is a greater cause of suffering.
-Fyodor M. Dostoevsky
Once you have commenced the task, then moving your concentration and
energies away, prior to its "successful completion" - is like inviting failure
yourself.
-Deep Trivedi
I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind.
A liar lies to himself as well as to the gods. Lying is the origin of all evils; it leads to rebirth in the miserable planes of existence, to breach of the pure precepts, and to corruption of the body.
-Maharatnakuta Sutra 27
Experience is a revelation in the light of which we renounce our errors of youth for those of age.
-Ambrose Bierce
You have to decide what your highest priorities are and have the courage - pleasantly, smilingly, nonapologetically - to say 'no' to other things. And the way to do that is by having a bigger 'yes' burning inside. The enemy of the 'best' is often the 'good.'
-Stephen Covey
In nature, no one is living with the feeling of selfishness. It is only due to our
selfish acts that our ties with nature have been severed.
-Deep Trivedi
There is no such man known in history whose departure from this world has
stalled the progress of mankind. Meaning, our consciousness has been growing
day by day. But then, why do we still continue to live with the crutches of those
who were born thousands of years ago?
-Deep Trivedi
