Thoughts from great minds

 
                                    Thoughts from great minds


        The person who does n't read is no better off than the person  who can't read.


       One needs only to see the way she is built to realize that woman is not intended for great mental or for great physical labour. She expatiates the guilt of life not through activity but through suffering, through the pains of child birth, caring for the child and subjection to the man, to whom she should be a patient and cheering companion. Great suffering, exertion is not for her. Her life should flow by more quietly and gently.

Research studies on stress  show that a long, healthy and happy life is the result of making contributions, of having meaningful projects that are personally exciting and contribute to and bless the lives of others. In the words of  George Bernard Shaw, " This is the true joy in life - that being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one. I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no brief candle to me. It 's a sort of splendid torch which I've got to hold up for the moment and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations."

The difference between success and failure is often five percent more effort.

Every moment of life is both a gift and a moment of choice.




   

Points to ponder

                                         Points to ponder


No beautician ever tells you that your real beauty comes from your good thoughts within.

According to the view of a great western philosopher of nineteenth century - Because errors imbibed early are mostly ineradicable and because the reasoning faculty is the last to mature, children should not , until they are sixteen be exposed to any subject in which major errors are possible, that is to say philosophy, religion and general views of all kinds. They should be introduced only to those in which error is either impossible, as in mathematics, language, natural science, history etc, in general however only to such studies as are accessible to their age and completely comprehensible.Childhood and youth is the time for assembling data and for becoming specifically and thoroughly acquainted with individual things. Reasoning and judgement in general must remain in suspense and ultimate explanations be deferred. Since the reasoning faculty presupposes maturity and experience, it should be let alone for the time being. The impression of prejudices upon it before it is mature will damage it for ever.

No rose without a thorn, but many a thorn without rose.

You can't write, read or live fully in the present without knowing the literature of the past.

There are only two lasting bequests we can give our children. One is roots, the other wings.

Peace of mind comes only when your life is in harmony with true principles and values and in no other way.
