INNER VOICE

He who hears the inner voice within him,

has no need to listen to the words of others.

BRAVERY

Bravery is not

the quality of body

but of the soul.

FRIENDSHIP

Friendship is not a one-time affair but a continuous one.

“If a man does not make new acquaintances as he passes through life,

he will soon find himself left alone. A man should keep his friendship in constant repair.”

PARENTS

Parents are so afraid of exciting pride and vanity in their children,

by the expression of their love, and approbation,

that a child sometimes goes sad and discouraged.

“There are times when the open expression of a father’s love

would be worth more than church or sermon to a boy.”

Greed

There is enough for satisfying everyone’s basic needs

but not for satisfying even one man’s greed.

CREDIT

Credit should be preserved at all costs.

Once lost, it will be very difficult to recover it,

 “Credit is like a looking-glass,

 which, when once sullied by a breath,

 may be wiped clear again;

but if once cracked can never be repaired.”

WISH

I(God) give people what they want in the hope,

They begin to want what I(God) want to give them.

HEALER

Time

heals

quietly,

slowly,

certainly.

GRIEF

Every substantial grief 

has twenty shadows

and

most of the shadows

are

of your own making.

HAPPINESS

Why destroy present happiness by a distant misery

Which may never come at all, or you may never live to see it?

CONGRATULATIONS

I congratulate

Smt. Sonia Gandhiji, Chair Person of UPA
Dr. Manmohan Singhji, Prime Minister of India,
Mr. Rahul Gandhi, General Secretary of Congress Party, (India)

for presenting  Lok Pal Bill in Parliament of India.

GUEST

He who comes to you at the cost of his time

Respect his wishes without reason or rhyme.

PRAYER

Your prayers  are never lost.

They are always answered.

It is a question of time as when you realize it.

“Never was a faithful prayer lost.

Some prayers have a longer voyage than others,

But then they return with their richer lading at last.

So, that the praying soul is a gainer by  for an answer.”

EXPERIENCE

‘However learned or eloquent,

man knows nothing truly what he had not learned

from experience.”

LOVE

Hatred paralyses life, love releases it.

Hatred confuses life, love harmonises it.

Hatred darkens life, love illuminates it.

If the ego rises, all else will also rise,

If it subsides, all else will also subside.

PARDON

Pardon all men, but not yourself.

Pardon is the most glorious revenge.

WORLD IS A STAGE

All the world’s a stage and all the men and women merely players.

They have their exit and their entrances.

And one man in his life plays many parts,

His act being seven stages.

No garments can conceal character. The man comes out sooner or later.

Source:

I have forgotten the source. Perhaps Shakespeare’s All The World is a Stage.

I write in a diary on some note books and have posted  here having copied from there. 

TRUST

Trust men, they will be true to you;

Treat them greatly, and they will show themselves great.

Paradise lies in the shadow of sword

BEST TEACHER

Experience is the best teacher.

It is the extract of suffering.

“It is one of the said conditions of life

that experience is not transmissible,

no man will learn from the suffering of another.

He must suffer himself.”

TRUE MAN

He is truly a man, who has made money his slave.

He is not fit to called a man who does not know how to make use of money.

“Man lives to add more and yet more to his wisdom

and

not to multiply his material possessions beyond proportion.

Things, material cannot be made more use of than the requirement.”
