All good poems are victories over something.
-Stephen Dunn
A leader has to be a samadarshi, one who sees everyone as being equal; satyadarshi, who moves with the Truth; paradarshi, who is transparent in action; doordarshi, being broad-minded and a visionary; and priyadarshi, embodying love and compassion.
Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither.
-C. S. Lewis
Don’t try to make life a mathematics problem with yourself in the centre and everything coming out equal. Even if you’re good, bad things can still happen. And if you’re bad, you can still be lucky.
-Barbara Kingsolver
What can be said of the human brilliancy? Every day, it comes up with hundreds
of schemes to bring upon its own destruction.
-Deep Trivedi
Choose your own way, to suit your own taste, temperament and capacity. There’s no need to criticise or condemn those who follow a different path. Spiritual hunger is the same in all – the ‘food’ to satisfy their hunger may vary.
Virtue consists, not in abstaining from vice, but in not desiring it.
-George Bernard Shaw
