here are some of my favourite quotes: I murmured b'coz i had no shoes until i met a man with no feet . what u r must always displease u if u would attain to that which u r not success and happiness goes hand in hand . success is getting what u like and happiness is liking what u get. winners don't do different things they do things differently. do not tell me that the problem is difficult if it were not difficult it would not be a problem. the greatest pleasure lies in doing what people say u cannot do everything is funny as long as it happens to others. ask a question;u may be afool for 2 minutes or else u r a fool for ever. there's never awrong time to do the right thing. if u think u'r boss is a stupid remember ; u would not have any job if he was any smarter. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. People need love the most when they deserve it the least. Whoever knows others is clever; whoever knows himself is wise. What we must decide is, perhaps, how we are valuable rather than how valuable we are. It is easier for a father to have children than for children to have a real father. He is a wise man who learns from his experience. Who learns from other peoples’ experience is wiser. You can disagree without being disagreeable. You don’t drown by falling down into water – you only drown if you stay there. You can get everything in life you want, if you help enough other people to get what they want

An estimate of personal merit is necessary to the common faculty of mankind,yet the aspiration of genius or virtue is measured not so much by it's real elevation as by the height to which they ascends above age or country.... And the same status which might have gone relatively un-noticed in a land of giants must be all the more conspicuous to an age of pygmies. Dreyden

A nice Shakespare is:

We must not make a Scarecrow of the Law leaving it up to fear the birds of pray till custom make it their perch and not their terror!

SEMPER UBI SUB UBI!!!! (always wear underwear)

If God had meant for us to be naked, we would have been born that way.

The only people for me are the mad ones -- the ones who are mad to live,
mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time,
the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn
like fabulous yellow Roman candles.
