You will never find time for anything. If you want the time, you
must make it.

- Charles Buxton



If we wait for the moment when everything, absolutely everything is
ready, we shall never begin.

-Ivan Turgenev



Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind
word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of
caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. Don't
underestimate what you CAN do! Each of us can do something, and the
something you do may be more important than you'll ever know.

-Leo Buscaglia



Guru the washer man, disciple is the cloth

and greed. Released from these three qualities one can succeed in
attaining salvation and reaching the highest goal.

The leaders who work most effectively, it seems to me, never
say "I." And that's not because they have trained themselves not to
say "I." They don't think "I." They think "we"; they think "team."
They understand their job to be to make the team function. They
accept responsibility and don't sidestep it, but "we" gets the
credit….This is what creates trust, what enables you to get the task
done.

- Peter Drucker



Half the world is composed of those who have something to say but
can't;the other half is of those who have nothing to say and keep on
saying it.

-Muriel Strode



Shadow of clouds, friendship with a wicked person, ground near the
ocean indeed disappear shortly, similarly as youth and wealth

-Subhashita



Life is a magic vase filled to the brim; so made that you cannot dip
into it nor draw from it; but it overflows into the hand that drops
treasures into it-drop in malice and it overflows hate; drop in
charity and it overflows love.

- John Ruskin



False words are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the
soul with evil.

-Plato



When you are in the right,You can afford to keep your temper

When you are in the wrong You can't afford to lose it.

Most of what we call management consists of making it difficult for
people to get their work done.
-Peter Ferdinand Drucker

Dreams are renewable. They need not expire like an over-due library
book. No matter our age, we can breathe new life into old dreams
-Steve Goodier

Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you
are a great individual and believe in yourself,
for if you don't believe in yourself, it will be hard for others to
believe in you.
-Unknown

Knowledge is certainly a man's greatest beauty.  It is a safe and
hidden treasure.  It provides prosperity, fame and happiness.
Knowledge is the guru of all gurus.  It acts as one's friend in a
foreign country.  Knowledge is the Supreme God.  It is the knowledge,
not wealth, which is adored by kings.  Without knowledge one remains
as animal.
-Subhashita

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit.
- Aristotle

Not to be cheered by praise,
not to be grieved by blame,
but to know thoroughly one's own virtues or powers
are the characteristics of an excellent man.

That which separates you from God is mind. The wall that stands
between you and God is mind. Pull the wall down through devotion and
you will come face to face with God.
-Swami Shivananda

It is possible to fail in many ways... while to succeed is possible
only in one way.
- Aristotle

It is not what he has, or even what he does which expresses the worth
of a man, but what he is.
- Henri Frederic Amiel

The Challenge is not to win,
But to conquer the fear.
It is not the other people you have to beat,
It is your self.
-Herman Melville

To waken interest and kindle enthusiasm is the sure way to teach
easily and successfully.
- Tryon Edwards

At the gates of the Transcendent stands that mere and perfect spirit
described in the Upanishads, luminous, pure sustaining the
world, without flaw of duality, without scar of division, unique,
identical, free from all appearance of relation and
multiplicity, - the pure Self...the inactive Brahman, the transcendent
Silence. And the mind when it passes those gates
suddenly...receives a sense of the unreality of the world and the sole
reality of the Silence which is one of the most powerful
and convincing experiences of which the human mind is capable.
- Sri Aurobindo

People love others not for who they are, but for how they make them
feel

-Irwin Federman



Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it.

- Henry David Thoreau



The way of devotion is not different from the way of knowledge, or
Jnana. When intelligence matures and lodges securely in the mind it
becomes wisdom. When wisdom is integrated with life and becomes
action it becomes Bhakti. Knowledge when it becomes fully mature is
Bhakti. To believe that Jnana and Bhakti, knowledge and devotion,
are different from each other is ignorance

-Rajaji



I would rather entertain and hope that people learned something than
educate people and hope they were entertained.

- Walt Disney



You must learn to translate wisdom and strong feelings into labor.

- Jim Rohn



Wanting to reform the world without discovering one's true self is
like trying to cover the world with leather to avoid the pain of
walking on stones and thorns. It is much simpler to wear shoes.

power of the understanding.

Affliction comes to us, not to make us sad but sober,not to make us
sorry but wise.

-Henry Ward Beecher





You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a
year of conversation.

-Plato



Mourning is not the index of true love. It reflects love of the
object, of its shape only, but that is not love. True love is shown
by the certainty that the object of love is in the Self and that it
can never become non-existent.

us, Something is out of tune.

The Ultimate Truth is so simple. It is nothing more than being in
one's natural, original state.

- Ramana Maharshi



It all depends on how we look at things, and not on how they are
themselves.

-Carl Jung (1875 - 1961)



All life is the play of universal forces. The individual gives a
personal form to these universal forces. But he can choose whether
he shall respond or not to the action of a particular force. Only
most people do not really choose - they indulge the play of the
forces. Your illness, depressions etc. are the repeated play of such
forces. It is only when you can make oneself free of them that one
can be the true person and have a true life - but one can be free
only by living in the Divine.

-Aurobindo



When you are laboring for others, let it be with the same zeal as if
it were for yourself.

The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly
smile nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration
that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in
him and is willing to trust him.

- Ralph Waldo Emerson



Silence is ever-speaking; it is a perennial flow of language; it is
interrupted by [human] speaking. These words obstruct that mute
language.

The toughest thing about success is that you've got to keep on
winning.

-Irving Berlin



Dirt is matter out of place. Weed is a plant out of place. Nuisance

normally good and useful become bad, useless and even harmful when
they are out of place, time and circumstance. A knowledge of this
fact is an essential part of wisdom.

- Krishnananda



There will be times in life when impossibility is felt, but then
there are dreams - and dreams allow us possibility.

We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other. To meet, to
love, to share. It is a precious moment, but it is transient. It is

each other, and this moment will have been worthwhile.

Success is not measured by what you accomplish, but by the
opposition you have encountered, and the courage with which you have
maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds.
- Swett Marden quotes

Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect.
There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect
conditions. So what. Get started now. With each step you take, you
will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and
more self-confident and more and more successful."
- Mark Victor Hansen quotes

Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream
of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part
of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea
alone. This is the way to success, that is way great spiritual
giants are produced."
-Swami Vivekananda

There is no parallel to the peace of mind that people get when they
are content and happy. Just look at the other extreme, people
who are greedy and dissatisfied are running from pillar to post in
search of wealth.
-Subhashita

We measure the effectiveness of the true leader not in terms of the
leadership he exercises but in terms of the leadership he evokes;
not in terms of his power over others, but in terms of the power he
releases in others; not in terms of the goals he sets and the
direction he gives but in terms of the plans of action others work
out for themselves with his help; not in terms of decisions made,
events completed, and the inevitable success and growth that follow
from such released energy, but in terms of growth in competence,
sense of responsibility, and in personal satisfaction among many
participants. Under this kind of leadership it may not always be
clear at any given moment who is leading. Nor is this important.
What is important is that others are learning to lead well.
—ROBERT W. GALVIN

The stage is not merely the meeting place of all the arts, but is

Reactions to calamities should be considered well in advance.
It is no good to start digging a well when the house is on fire !

-Subhashita



War educates the senses, calls into action the will, perfects the
physical constitution, brings men into such swift and close
collision in critical moments that man measures man.

- Ralph Waldo Emerson



Service is the rent we pay for being. It is the very purpose of
life, and not something you do in your spare time.

-Marion Wright Edelman



To enhance the quality of the day... That is the highest of the arts.

- Henry David Thoreau



The goal of mankind is knowledge ... Now this knowledge is inherent
in man. No knowledge comes from outside: it is all inside. What we
say a man 'knows', should, in strict psychological language, be what
he 'discovers' or 'unveils'; what man 'learns' is really what he
discovers by taking the cover off his own soul, which is a mine of
infinite knowledge.

-Swami Vivekananda

-Hodding Carter, Jr



When you follow your bliss... doors will open where you would not
have thought there would be doors; and where there wouldn't be a
door for anyone else.

-Joseph Campbell



People don't care how much you know, until they know how much you
care.

-Unknown



Knowledge is proud that she knows so much; Wisdom is humble that she
knows no more.

- Cowper



We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you
think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far.

-Swami Vivekananda



Whether the philosophers praise him or criticize, whether wealth
enters the house or goes away as it wishes, whether death is today
itself or after an eon, great men never step a foot away from the
path of justice.

-Subhashita

Before taking any action, whether good or bad, wise men should
carefully ponder over its consequences. Or else, the result of  an
act done in haste keeps piercing the heart like an arrow even after
death.
-Subhashita

Our greatest battles are that with our own minds.
- Jameson Frank

As gold is tested in four ways by rubbing, cutting, heating and
beating - so a man should be tested by these four things:  his
renunciation, his conduct, his qualities and his actions.
-Chanakya niti


Grief drives men to serious reflection, sharpens the understanding
and softens the heart.
- John Adams


Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius,
magic and power in it. Begin it now.
- Goethe

So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem
half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are
important. This is because they're chasing the wrong things. The way
you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to  loving
others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote
yourself to creating something that gives you purpose  and meaning.
- Morrie Schwartz

You should be ambitious and achieve them. You should never start
with a small aim. Your aim determine the nature of your
accomplishments. If you are not ambitious enough, you shall not get
enough to eat.
-Subhashita

Get a good idea and stay with it. Dog it, and work at it until it's
done
right. - Walt Disney

Wicked people decry a modest person as dull, a person observing
religious vows as showy, a holy person as a charlatan, a  brave one
as cruel, a hermit as foolish, a soft-spoken person as meek, a
bright one as vain, an orator as a glib-talker and a  patient person
as weak. Is there any quality of the virtuous that the wicked do not
condemn?
-Bhartrhari

Never give up your right to be wrong, because then you will lose the
ability to learn new things and to move forward with your life.
- Dr.David M. Burns

Listening is a high art of loving. Ask yourself, "When was the last
time I really listened to my child? My parent? My brother  or
sister?" When someone is ready to share, three magic words amplify
your connection, and they are: "Tell me more."
-Rev. Mary Manin Morrissey

Be a life long or short, its completeness depends on what it was
lived for.
- David Starr Jordan

That which we persist in doing becomes easier - not that the nature
of the task has changed, but our ability to do has increased.
- Emerson

The spiritual journey is individual, highly personal.
It can't be organized or regulated.
It isn't true that everyone should follow one path.
Listen to your own truth.
-Ramdas

Try not to become a man of success, but rather a man of value.
- Albert Einstein

The path of service is formidable.  It is difficult even for a yogi
to follow.  If a man in service remains quiet, then he is  called
dumb. If he is quick-witted, then he is described as loquacious.  If
he stays close by, then he is taken to be  audacious, and if he
maintains a distance, then is considered as shy.  If he is tolerant,
then he is regarded as timid, and  if he is unable to bear
indignities, then he is known as ill bred.
-Subhashita

There is no accomplishment in life better than a peace of mind and a
happy home.
- Blessing Onuoha

Get a good idea and stay with it. Dog it, and work at it until it's
done right.
- Walt Disney

Have a great week ahead full of joy and success!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men's blood and
probably themselves will not be realized. Make big plans; aim high in
hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded
will never die, but long after we are gone will be a living thing,
asserting itself with ever-growing insistence.
- Daniel H. Burnham

Every truth has two sides. It is well to look at both sides before we
commit ourselves to either side.
- Aesop

A man of culture does not speak unpleasantly though burnt by the
burning coals of displeasing talk. Does the fragrant aloe  wood
abandon its natural fragrance when being burnt?
-Subhashita


Accumulated wealth is saved by spending just as incoming fresh water
is saved by letting out stagnant water.
-Chanakya niti

Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present
and not giving it.
- William Arthur Ward

The manner in which one endures what must be endured is more
important than the thing that must be endured.
- Dean Acheson

If one is lucky, a solitary fantasy can totally transform one million
realities.
- Maya Angelou

Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must

Sinfully acquired wealth may remain for ten years; in the eleventh
year it disappears with even the original stock
-Chanakya niti

If you raise your children to feel that they can accomplish any goal
or task they decide upon, you will have succeeded as a  parent and
you will have given your children the greatest of all blessings.
-Brian Tracy

That man, without knowing his own strength and dissociated from both
virtue and profit, desires an object difficult of  acquisition,
without again adopting adequate means, is said to be destitute of
intelligence
-Vidura

We cannot fight against anything, unless we fight for something -- and
what we must fight for is the supremacy of reason, and a view of man
as a rational being.
- Ayn Rand
