Quote by Proverb

Luck seeks those who flee and flees those who seek it.

Luck seeks those who flee and flees those who seek it.

Summary

This quote implies that luck is unpredictable and elusive. When people actively chase luck or put too much focus on obtaining it, they are less likely to find it. Luck, in a sense, seems to gravitate towards those who are not fixated on it and instead focus on other aspects of their lives. It suggests that luck is a byproduct of a person's actions and attitude rather than something that can be pursued directly. By shifting our attention to other pursuits and endeavors, we may create the conditions for luck to come our way indirectly.

Virginity is now a mere preamble or waiting room to be got out of as soon as possible; it is without significance. Old age is similarly a waiting room, where you go after life's over and wait for cancer or a stroke. The years before and after the menstrual years are vestigial: the only meaningful condition left to women is that of fruitfulness.

In jail a man has no personality. He is a minor disposal problem and a few entries on reports. Nobody cares who loves or hates him, what he looks like, what he did with his life. Nobody reacts to him unless he gives trouble. Nobody abuses him. All that is asked of him is that he go quietly to the right cell and remain quiet when he gets there. There is nothing to fight against, nothing to be mad at. The jailers are quiet men without animosity or sadism. All this stuff you read about men yelling and screaming, beating against the bars, running spoons along them, guards rushing in with clubs -- all that is for the big house. A good jail is one of the quietest places in the world. Life in jail is in suspension.

Don't think of retiring from the world until the world will

Don't think of retiring from the world until the world will be sorry that you retire. I hate a fellow whom pride or cowardice or laziness drive into a corner, and who does nothing when he is there but sit and growl. Let him come out as I do, and bark.

Love is misunderstood to be an emotion; actually, it is a state of awareness, a way of being in the world, a way of seeing oneself and others.

Patriotism is love of country. But you can't love your count

Patriotism is love of country. But you can't love your country without loving your countrymen and countrywomen. We don't always have to agree, but we must empower each other, we must find the common ground, we must build bridges across our differences to pursue the common good.
