Uplifting thoughts
If you plan for a year, plant a seed. If for ten years, plant a tree. If for one hundred years, teach the people.
Children are lamps to be lit,
not vessels to be filled.
The son's duty to his father is to make the world ask, " By what great austerities did he merit such a son ."
What is marriage ? Falling in love anew every day- always with the same person.
All truth goes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Then, it is violently opposed. Finally, it is accepted as self- evident.
The secret for having a successful team is to lead, rather than to manage.
In the midst of great joy do not promise anyone anything. In the midst of great anger do not answer anyone.
Worry is liking a rocking chair - there is movement, but it does not take you anywhere.
Life is like a stream. One bank is the sacred scriptures and the other is science and technology. If both banks are not firm,the water will scatter away. If both banks are firm. The stream will run its smooth course.
Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men. Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks. Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle, but you shall be the miracle.
