thought you could do. There are no limitations in what you can do
except the limitations of your own mind.

that it can never become non-existent.

-Ramana Maharshi



The heart of a fool is in his mouth, but the mouth of a wise man is
in his heart.

If you want to be important - that's wonderful. If you want to be
great- that's wonderful. But recognize that he who is greatest among
you shall be your servant. That's your new definition of greatness -
it means that everybody can be great because everybody can serve.
You don't have to know about Plato and Aristotle to serve.
You don't have to know the second law of thermodynamics to serve.
You only need a heart full of grace, a soul generated by love.

is death, even then man leaves not his sinful behaviour.

the interrelated structure of reality.

- Dr. -Martin Luther King Jr.



May we never let the things we can't have, or don't have, or

we cannot or should not have.

- Richard L. Evans



It is not he who gains the exact point in dispute who scores most in
controversy - but he who has shown the better temper.

Just as a piece of rope is imagined to be a snake in the darkness so
is Atman (soul) determined to be the body by an ignorant person.

for they are of a kind that hypocrisy cannot imitate;
they too have this quality in common,
that they are expressed by the same color.

Life in the world and life in the spirit are not incompatible. Work
or action is not contrary to knowledge of God, but indeed, if

comes off in his hand, and that it was only tied on to scare away
the timid adventurers.

Both the good and the pleasant present themselves to a man. The calm
soul examines them well and discriminates. Yeah, he prefers the good
to the pleasant; but the fool chooses the pleasant out of greed and
avarice.

-Kathopanishad



Take no pride in your possession, in the people at your command, in
the youthfulness that you have. Time loots away all these in a
moment. Leaving aside all these, after knowing their illusory
nature, realise the state of Brahman and enter into it.

Do not keep the alabaster box of your friendship sealed up until
your friends are dead. Fill their lives with sweetness. Speak
approving, cheering words while their ears can hear them, and while
their hearts can be thrilled and made happier. The kind of things
you mean to say when they are gone, say before they go.

-George W. Childs

endurance, and above all, the power of devotion to a lofty ideal.

Experience shows that success is due less to ability than to zeal.
The winner is he who gives himself to his work, body and soul.

- Charles Buxton



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



Laws alone can not secure freedom of expression; in order that every
man present his views without penalty, there must be spirit of
tolerance in the entire population.

oneself.

difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish. A little knowledge that

Man is born in the world with a lifespan of a hundred years,more or
less, and he spends half the time sleeping.
The half of the remaining years is spent in infancy and dotage. The
remaining twenty five are spent in suffering from various diseases,
in lamenting and grieving over a series of bereavements caused by
the death of offspring and other relatives, in working hard day and
night at the household of the rich to scrape a living. Living, as he
must, a life so full of turbulence and wave-like unsteadiness, when
does man find time to experience true happiness?

-Bhartrhari

We do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep
inside us is valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust,
sacred to our touch. Once we believe in ourselves we can risk
curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight or any experience that
reveals the human spirit.

One can, perhaps, extract oil by squeezing sand; a man may be able
to quench his thirst by drinking water from a mirage; during travel
one may even find the horns of a hare; but it is impossible to
please a conceited fool.

-Subhashita



Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is the noble art
of leaving things undone.The wisdom of life consists in the
elimination of non-essentials.
