True wisdom is less presuming than folly. The wise man doubteth often, and changeth his mind; the fool is obstinate, and doubteth not; he knoweth all things but his own ignorance… To be satisfied with a little, is the greatest wisdom; and he that increaseth his riches, increaseth his cares; but a contented mind is a hidden treasure, and trouble findeth it not.
-Akhenation
To understand the heart and mind of a person, look not at what he has already achieved, but at what he aspires to.
-Khalil Gibran
Character is formed from the repeated choice of thoughts and action. Make the right choice-you shall have a firm and noble character.

What is the difference between a theist and an atheist? An atheist is the one
who fails to recognize the ultimate supremacy of nature; hence he is trying to
enhance life with the help of the knowledge cultivated by his brain. A theist is
the one who does not apply his brain at all. He completely surrenders to the
existence, allowing nature to make and mould him as it deems right.
-Deep Trivedi
Happiness is not the absence of problems. It’s the ability to deal with them.

If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.
