If a country is to be corruption free and become a nation of beautiful minds, I strongly feel there are three key societal members who can make a difference. They are the father, the mother and the teacher.

You can never turn the clock back and, since we're talking about mental health, I would stress that.

Poetry is simply the most beautiful, impressive, and widely effective mode of saying things.

Matthew Arnold

The 'self-image' is the key to human personality and human behavior. Change the self image and you change the personality and the behavior.

Maxwell Maltz

Where there is discord, may we bring harmony. Where there is error, may we bring truth. Where there is doubt, may we bring faith. And where there is despair, may we bring hope.

Margaret Thatcher

Manners are the happy ways of doing things; each one a stroke of genius or of love, now repeated and hardened into usage, they form at last a rich varnish, with which the routine of life is washed, and its details adorned. If they are superficial, so are the dew-drops which give such a depth to the morning meadows.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, The Conduct

But the saddest difference between them was that Zazetsky, as Luria said, 'fought to regain his lost faculties with the indomitable tenacity of the damned,' whereas Dr P. was not fighting, did not know what was lost.

Remember, whatever you focus upon, increases...When you focus on the things you need, you'll find those needs increasing. If you concentrate your thoughts on what you don't have, you will soon be concentrating on other things that you had forgotten you don't have-and feel worse! If you set your mind on loss, you are more likely to lose...But a grateful perspective brings happiness and abundance into a person's life.

Andy Andrews

Inside every working anarchy, there's an Old Boy Network.

People think that computer science is the art of geniuses but the actual reality is the opposite, just many people doing things that build on eachother, like a wall of mini stones.

Donald Knuth

One good teacher in a lifetime may sometimes change a delinquent into a solid citizen.

Philip Wylie

Everything can change, but not the language that we carry inside us, like a world more exclusive and final than one's mother's womb.
