truth

It was one thing to be fooled, and another thing to be taken for a fool all the time.

The truth is now as it was yesterday, and as it always will be, that the world is-as we are

The joy and smile of even one child is worth more than the prancing intellects of a thousand men

...No man is foolish when his friend betrays him because a man__ world is most serene when he has people to trust and call friends. After all, is it not often said that a friend is another self?

In your selflessness pursuit of things higher than yourself, you appear selfish or inconsiderate to those who truly love you and who have cared deeply about you from the first day you came into their lives.

Life is full of intriguing souls that you cannot penetrate_ An uncomfortable percentage of those anguished and impregnable souls also have suffering hearts that are further tormented by a deluded mind. They will hurt out of an impulse, and then live their lives after that without the slightest remorse.

Avoid people who hurt from an impulse. I mean people who have this tendency to relish their capacity to hurt the good souls of this world, and who after hurting, wake up the next day without a trace of despondent brooding, and then move on with life never thinking that they should show some remorse or try to repent.

There is no bigger gratification than the realization of the things you believe in after overcoming all the odds.

I own my past, it hasn't been grande' But it's had some pretty great moments. I own my movements of now, it isn't what I've dreamt, but I'm closer than I was before.I own my future, it is going to test me, But I trust I have the strength to pull through. Life isn't what happens to us, but what we choose to become.

In dealing with others, man is inherently a slave to his preconceptions, to the stereotypes he became familiar with that made life easier for him to comprehend.

Nothing that you confess... can make me love you any less.

Judgments based on preconceptions make life simple for us to deal with since that means we safely shield ourselves behind barriers of preconception that helped us feel safe in whatever views or assumptions we are having.

Never give up the freeness of your soul. Live your duty to mankind, nurture creatures of this world as a true mother of the earth, but never shut your imagination off from those desires that distinguish you from the ordinary. Never allow yourself to be sapped of that extraordinary energy that is the necessary ingredient for creating something new and progressive.

We, humans, have come up with so many superficialities that are completely unnecessary for our existence and happiness on earth.

A yesterday missed can never be found even in a fine tomorrow.

The people__ hero does not only have to be someone in possession of the scepter of power. It can be anyone capable of giving unity, prosperity, security, peace and a sense of worthiness to his people. Such a figure gets elevated to the status of a revered hero with the human touch if he imparts a sense of oneness on a multi-racial, multi-ethnic and multi-religious group; especially a diverse people who have been fighting one another for years and centuries...

At what point is normal natural?

My patria vera or true fatherland is the place that enriches my soul.
