“If a person begins by telling you, ‘Do not be offended at what I am going to say,’ prepare yourself for something that she knows will certainly offend you.”
– Eliza Leslie
“Life is what happens while you are making other plans.” – John Lennon
Losing an illusion makes you wiser than finding a truth.
~Ludwig Börne
TRAGEDIES:
Tragedies do happen. We can discover the reason., blame others, imagine how our life would be had they not occurred. But none of that is important: they did occur, and so be it. From there onward we must put aside the fear that they awoke in us and begin to rebuild.
-Paulo Coelho.
“The mind of a wise man is the safest custody of secrets; cheerfulness is the key to friendship; patience and forbearance will conceal many defects”

EINSTEIN:
“Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius — and a lot of courage — to move in the opposite direction.”
“Imagination is more important than knowledge.”
“I want to know God’s thoughts; the rest are details.”

On plenty of days the writer can write three or four pages, and on plenty of other days he concludes he must throw them away. -ANNIE DILLARD

Great quotes!
Thankyou dear<3
I do like Einstein’s take on reality. He was spot on.
I do too. Pretty true things.
I can’t get enough of quotes. Some people’s words just never die, and never should. I like what Bruce Lee said: Knowing is not enough: one must DO.
Very true!
The quotes are lovely. I liked most “Life is what happens while you are making other plans.” – John Lennon

Miss Maqsood!
Thankyou for coming! This quote by Imam Ali ibn Abu Talib is great and holds so much truth! Thanks a whole lot for sharing.. 🙂
“I am amazed at the heart of man: It possesses the substance of wisdom as well as the opposites contrary to it … for if hope arises in it, it is brought low by covetousness: and if covetousness is aroused in it, greed destroys it. If despair possesses it, self piety kills it: and if it is seized by anger, this is intensified by rage. If it is blessed with contentment, then it forgets to be careful; and if it is filled with fear, then it becomes preoccupied with being cautious. If it feels secure , then it is overcome by vain hopes; and if it is given wealth, then its independence makes it extravagant. If want strikes it, then it is smitten by anxiety. If it is weakened by hunger, then it gives way to exhaustion; and if it goes too far in satisfying its appetites, then its inner becomes clogged up. So all its shortcomings are harmful to it, and all its excesses corrupt it.”
― Imam Ali ibn Abu Talib
Aaahhhh * sigh* thats all I can say/do at his wisdom. Masha’Allah!

Hope, in reality, is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man.
