Both the good and the pleasant present themselves to a man. The calm soul examines them well and discriminates. Yes, he prefers the good to the pleasant; but the fool chooses the pleasant out of greed and avarice.
- Upanishads
Both the good and the pleasant present themselves to a man. The calm soul examines them well and discriminates. Yes, he prefers the good to the pleasant; but the fool chooses the pleasant out of greed and avarice.
Dress shabbily and they remember the dress; dress impeccably and they remember the woman.
-Coco Chanel
Why does a woman work ten years to change a man’s habit and then complain that he's not the man she married?
-Barbra Streisand
The trouble is not that I am single and likely to stay single, but that I am lonely and likely to stay lonely.
-Charlotte Brontë
Even after all this time the sun never says to the Earth, “You owe me.” Look what happens with a love like that, it lights the whole sky.
The greatest comforts and lasting peace are obtained, when one eradicates selfishness from within.
