Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.
-Abraham Lincoln

Inspiration
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
"The Poisonwood Bible"
Live in such a way that you would not be ashamed to sell your parrot to the town gossip.
-Will Rogers
There is nothing wrong in having any kind of fancy in life or any physical act, if
done appropriately. Likewise, there is no virtue in visiting temples or worshipping
either. The goodness of being human lies in the qualities like compassion, self-
confidence, self-dependence and innocence which are tainted by attributes like
jealousy, partiality, selfishness and stubbornness.
-Deep Trivedi
In life, whatever you achieve by putting in efforts will never give you happiness,
as the pain starts right from the time of making an effort. On the other hand, the
tasks that you enjoy doing, persist for long spells; then whatever you gain out of
it, the end result will always be both positive and effective for your life.
-Deep Trivedi
Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.
-Michael Jordon
The greatest way to live with honor in this world is to be what we pretend to be.
-Socrates
We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something.
-Marie Curie
Hide not your talents. They for use were made. What's a sundial in the shade?
-Benjamin Franklin
Do what you feel in your heart to be right- for you'll be criticized anyway. You'll be damned if you do, and damned if you don't.
-Eleanor Roosevelt
