Work like you don’t need money, love like you’ve never been hurt, and dance like no one’s watching

The richest man is not the who has the most, but he who needs the least.

Dalai Lama

Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend -- or a meaningful day.

I believe that the very purpose of our life is to seek happiness. That is clear. Whether one believes in religion or not, whether one believes in this religion or that religion, we all are seeking something better in life. So, I think, the very motion of our life is towards happiness…

Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them.

We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves.

If you have fear of some pain or suffering, you should examine whether there is anything you can do about it. If you can, there is no need to worry about it; if you cannot do anything, then there is also no need to worry.”

If you don't love yourself, you cannot love others. You will not be able to love others. If you have no compassion for yourself then you are not able of developing compassion for others.

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi

A nation's culture resides in the hearts and in the soul of its people.

Be the change that you want to see in the world.

Before the throne of the Almighty, man will be judged not by his acts but by his intentions. For God alone reads our hearts.


Mark Twain

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.

Life is at best a dream and at worst a nightmare from which you cannot escape.

What is human life? The first third a good time; the rest remembering about it.

...the events of life are mainly small events--they only seem large when we are close to them. By and by they settle down and we see that one doesn't show above another. They are all about one general low altitude, and inconsequential.

The bible

John 3 :16

For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son so that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life

Proverbs 30:18-19
There are three things that amaze me—
no, four things that I don’t understand:
how an eagle glides through the sky,
how a snake slithers on a rock,
how a ship navigates the ocean,
how a man loves a woman.

James 1:2-4
Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing

John 15:13
Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.

—Lao-Tze

Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

Maya Angelou

Nothing will work unless you do.

One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest.

Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.

Nelson Mandela

I dream of an Africa which is in peace with itself.

Let freedom reign. The sun never set on so glorious a human achievement.

I dream of the realization of the unity of Africa, whereby its leaders combine in their efforts to solve the problems of this continent. I dream of our vast deserts, of our forests, of all our great wildernesses.

I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.

Abraham Lincoln

"In giving freedom to the slave, we assure freedom to the free - honorable alike in what we give, and what we preserve. We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best hope of earth. Other means may succeed; this could not fail. The way is plain, peaceful, generous, just - a way which, if followed, the world will forever applaud, and God must forever bless."

Whatever you are, be a good one.

You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today.

Ninoy Aquino

The Filipino is worth dying for

We only ask that freedom be returned, we ask for nothing more but we will accept nothing less

The great “legitimizer” of government is the ballot not the bullet

Oscar Wilde

A man can't be too careful in his choice of enemies

There are only two kinds of people who are really fascinating: people who know absolutely everything, and people who know absoulutely nothing.

It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious.

Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about.
