The follies which a man regrets most in his life, are those which he didn't commit when he had the opportunity.

From the moment of birth, when the stone-age baby confronts the twentieth-century mother, the baby is subjected to these forces of violence, called love, as its mother and father have been, and their parents and their parents before them. These forces are mainly concerned with destroying most of its potentialities. This enterprise is on the whole successful.

R. D. Laing

Wherever one finds oneself inclined to bitterness, it is a sign of emotional failure: a larger heart, and a greater self-restraint, would put a calm autumnal sadness in the place of the instinctive outcry of pain.

Bertrand Russell

Nothing is more noble than politeness, and nothing more ridiculous than ceremony.

Proverb

When I played in the sandbox, the cat kept covering me up.

Rodney Dangerfield

It is so hard to believe because it is so hard to obey.

Soren Kierkegaard

I do not consider it an insult, but rather a compliment to be called an agnostic. I do not pretend to know where many ignorant men are sure - that is all that agnosticism means.

Clarence Darrow

Cinema, radio, television, magazines are a school of inattention: people look without seeing, listen in without hearing.

Robert Bresson

Life only avails, not the having lived. Power ceases in the instant of repose; it resides in the moment of transition from a past to a new state, in the shooting of the gulf, in the darting to an aim

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The superstition in which we grew up,Though we may recognize it, does not loseIts power over us--Not all are freeWho make mock of their chains.

Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, Nathan

Drualt took Freya's warm hand,Her strong hand,Her sword hand,And pressed it to his lips,Pressed it to his heart.Come with me,' he said.Come with me to battle,My love. Tarry at my side.Stay with meWhen battle is done.Tarry at my side.Laugh with me,And walk with meThe long, long way.Tarry with me,My love, at my side.

Gail Carson Levine

A lot of things happen in our lives without any apparent justification. but whatever happens to us,takes us one step ahead in the path of self realisation.the truth is we all are travellers in the life's eternal journey, to meet for a short while,to care and share but we tend to forget that nothings lasts forever.if only we could cultivate a sense of detachment,life would have been much easier.

Chitralekha Paul

Manners make the fortune of the ambitious youth

Ralph Waldo Emerson
