If people think nature is their friend then they sure don't need an enemy.
-Kurt Vonnegut
If you want to be respected by others, the great thing is to respect yourself. Only by that, only by self-respect will you compel others to respect you.
-Fyodor M. Dostoevsky
Accept what life offers you and try to drink from every cup. All wines should be tasted; some should only be sipped, but with others, drink the whole bottle.
-Paulo Coelho
In life, there is nothing that you can simply gain. Here, for every gain, you always
have to lose something. Hence, the people who are apprehensive of losing in
every small matter...can never gain something big.
-Deep Trivedi
We are so interested in religion that first we put the person who has come to
awaken us to sleep. Then making him God, we establish such a religion around
him that we don't face any obstacle in perpetrating the violence, jealousy, partiality,
lies, cheating, fraud or pretence as we desire; and simultaneously adhering to
few hypocrisies, also remain proud of being religious.
-Deep Trivedi
God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.
-Saint Augustine of Hippo
We sing the glory of Sri Krishna, who is all truth, all consciousness and all bliss, who is responsible for creation, sustenance and destruction of the universe, and who puts an end to the threefold agony.
Hide not your talents. They for use were made. What's a sundial in the shade?
-Benjamin Franklin
