” You are going to get thrown in life. Know how to roll as you fall and you will arise a little more knowledgeable.”

When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand.

The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.

Happiness and sadness run parallel to each other. When one takes a rest, the other one tends to take up the slack.

Peace begins with a smile.

Possibilities are negative if you are negative; to grow in all that you do, ensure you are always being POSITIVE

We were not made to be controlled by circumstances, but made to control circumstances. Know who you are and be in charge.

Keep Your Face To The Sunshine And You Cannot See The Shadows

Life Consists Not In Holding Good Cards But In Playing Well Those You Hold

May you find serenity and tranquility in a world
You may not always understand.

May the pain you have known and conflict you have experienced
Give you the strength to walk through life
Facing each new situation with courage and optimism.

Always know that there are those whose love and understanding
Will always be there, even when you feel most alone.

May you discover enough goodness in others
To believe in a world of peace.

May a kind word, a reassuring touch, a warm smile be yours
Every day of your life,
And may you give these gifts as well as receive them.

Remember the sunshine when the storm seems unending.

Teach love to those who know hate,
And let that love embrace you as you go into the world.

- Lucky Jhunjhunwala

Life Is Like Riding A Bicycle, You Don’t Fall Off Unless You Plan To Stop Peddling.

The Tragedy Of Life Is Not That It Ends So Soon, But That We Wait So Long To Begin It.

Life has 10% as What Happens To Us And 90% of it is How We React.

It is impossible for a man to be truly free if he will not think for himself, or to fully confine one who will.

Impossible is not a fact. It’s an opinion.
Impossible is not a declaration. It’s a dare.
Impossible is potential.
Impossible is temporary.
Impossible is nothing.

Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something for you because they want to do it.

Rather than following proven paths, once in a while, try going where there is no path and leave a trail.

I feel lazy in my mornings but if I gather the strength to get up and get busy then I stay productive.

I dream up big and unrealistic targets and work each day to achieve them. All successful men/women are dreamers.

Even if I don’t achieve my goals in the short run, I strive towards perfection and I keep my belief in my goals.

What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy?

The moment the slave resolves that he will no longer be a slave, his fetters fall. He frees himself and shows the way to others. Freedom and slavery are mental states.

Non-violence is the first article of my faith. It is also the last article of my creed.

In my humble opinion, non-cooperation with evil is as much a duty as is cooperation with good.

“As for me, all I know is that I know nothing.”

~ Socrates (B.C. 469 – 399)

In other words, “You don’t know what you don’t know”.

Do not waste your strength in complaints. If you be grateful for lack of reasons to complain, you will find less and less of those reasons.

At first, the child is led into the world of knowledge when he is accepted by a Guru, whom he has to serve and obey without feeling burdened. Later, the young person should share with society the means and measures for its progress and security. In this stage one should start earning his income and learn to spend it wisely. The youth has to, by example, guide younger ones in the right direction and at the same time learn from elders, lessons for ones’ own progress. He must do good deeds simply for the elation they confer. Understand that practice advances wisdom, just as reading enhances knowledge. The young person must cultivate humility, reverence, devotion to God and steadfast faith. Along with earning money and serving society, attention has to be paid to virtues and morality through righteous behaviour and sadhana (spiritual practices). One’s whol e being must be purified and then directed along the path of sacred work.

- Sathya Sai Vahini, Ch 22: “Eternal Truths”.
