Live in the world like a waterfowl. The water clings to the bird, but the bird shakes it off. Live in the world like a mudfish. The fish lives in the mud, but its skin is always bright and shiny.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
Quotations
Life
Nature's creation is such that whatever is worth attaining or beneficial for us, we
can get it automatically. But in the race to grab the things which are futile and
painful, we miss attaining them only.
-Deep Trivedi
The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.
-Bob Moawad
You must always believe that life is as extraordinary as music says it is.
-Rebecca West
"The Fountain Overflows"
All your efforts at the end are nothing, but inviting pains and pleasures in life,
whereas to be steadfast in your 'being' no effort is required. The best part is,
there is only joy and happiness, not just for one but for hundreds of reasons.
-Deep Trivedi
If you can always smile at life, life will always smile at you.
-Mirra Alfassa "Mirra Alfassa"
Easter spells out beauty, the rare beauty of new life.
-Samuel Dickey Gordon "S. D. Gordon"
It seems, in fact, as though the second half of a man’s life is made up of nothing but the habits he has accumulated during the first half.
-Fyodor M. Dostoevsky
Learning is retained through putting into practice; family prestige is maintained through good behavior; a respectable person is recognised by his excellent qualities; and anger is seen in the eyes.
-Chanakya "Chanakya"
To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.
-Gautama Buddha "Gautama Buddha"
