Sorry in advance if anyone posted before............

The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function.

I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn't learn something from him.

When a man tells you that he got rich through hard work, ask him: 'Whose?'

Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.

The world is full of willing people, some willing to work, the rest willing to let them.

You can fool all of the people some of time, some of the people all of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time.

Pride is that which compels a man to do his very best even when nobody is watching.

Work hard to get what u like......or you'll b forced to like what u get

If in a fight, hit first and hit hard.

Be brave. Even if you're not, pretend to be. No one can tell the difference.

I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder.

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

'Whenever there is conflict between the heart and the mind, let the heart be followed'

‘No real change in history has ever been achieved by discussions’

‘Before borrowing money from a friend, decide which you need more.

‘Cheer up, the worst is yet to come.

‘The light at the end of the tunnel is the headlamp of an approaching train.

‘There are three sides to every argument: your side, my side and the right side.

‘If you had everything, where would you keep it?

‘Never explain – your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you any way

‘It is a beggar's pride that he is not a thief.

‘Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.

‘It's good to trust others, but not to do so is much better.

Some cause happiness wherever they go; others, whenever they go.

‘You know children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.

There are two kinds of failures; those who thought and never did, and those who did and never thought.


‘Each problem that I solved became a rule which served afterwards to solve other problems."
 
my life ethics

Two of the lines i use mostly in my life are :


I know its hard but then so is life !

Education is not lack of knowledge but lack of culture ! :)

I dont have any idea from where they came ? may be i read them somewhere or may be they just came out from my inner self !



Another very nice one is :

This is by some author :

Love is like pi : natural , irrational and very important ! :p
 
simple thoughts!!! / proverbs

Where the stall is clean there is no ox.

If you are looking for advice stay away from fools.

Only a simpleton believes everything he is told

A wise man is hungry for truth – while the mocker feeds on trash

It’s better to eat soup with friends than steak with enemy.

A crust eaten in peace is better than steak with an argument.

What dainty morsels rumors are.

The way of the wicked is hard.

A wise man thinks ahead. A fool dosen’t and even brags about it.

Let the blind lead the blind and they’ll both fall in the ditch.
 
Recently laid my hands on a book Inner Realities by J.M.Sampath. Posting few of wonderful quotes by him-
1. Nothing is very IMportant to me
For it is from where
I have started my journey
2. can i go beyond 'I'
to see what i am actually involved in?
3. I laughed at ur UGLINESS
It made me feel good.
For I never realised
I am as ugly as you.
4. When i learn to live with myself,
I am no longer ALONE.
5. If i dont keep my word nobody else will.
6. I kept saying
"He's rigid, he's rigid, he's rigid,"
not knowing how rigid I was over his rigidity.
