“Why, then, grieve — tatra ka paridevana — asks Shri Krishna. This is the great mystery of God. As a magician creates the illusion of a tree and destroys it, so God sports in endless ways and does not let us know the beginning and the end of his play. Why grieve over it?”
Mahatma Gandhi

“People who lead for selfish reasons seek… Power: They love control and will continue to add value to themselves by reducing the value of others. Position: Titles are their ego food. They continually make sure that others feel their authority and know their rights as a leader. Money: They will use people and sell themselves for financial gain. Prestige: Their looking good is more important to them than their being and doing good.”
John C. Maxwell

“I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and Constitutions. But laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors.”
Thomas Jefferson

“Opportunity often comes disguised in the form of misfortune, or temporary defeat.”
Napoleon Hill

“All the variety, all the charm, all the beauty of life are made up of light and shade.”

Oprah Winfrey

“It is a very funny thing that the sleepier you are, the longer you take about getting to bed.”

“Man seeks to excuse himself of sin, but God seeks to convict him of it and to save him from it. Sin is no amusing toy—it is a terror to be shunned! Learn, then, what constitutes sin in the eyes of God!”
Billy Graham

“In great literature, I become a thousand different men but still remain myself.”
C.S. Lewis

“Happiness depends more upon the internal frame of a person’s own mind, than on the externals in the world.”
George Washington
