Racism

Racism is man's gravest threat to man - the maximum hatred for minimum (more right NO reason) : Altered quote of Abraham Heschel by me.

Winner Vs. Looser

A speech made by the 26th President of the United states of America, Theodore Roosevelt in 1910 at the Sorbonne in Paris -

‘It is not the critic who counts ; not the man who points out how the strong man , or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood ; who strives valiantly ; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming ; but who does actually strive to do the deeds ; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions ; who spends himself in a worthy cause ; who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory or defeat.’

Lies, Lies, and Lies: The Truth about it…

Mark Twain: Always tell the truth. That way, you don't have to remember what you said. When in doubt, tell the truth.

Montaigne: He who is not sure of his memory should not undertake the trade of lying. There are some whose memory never fails them!

Sam Rayburn: Son, always tell the truth. Then you'll never have to remember what you said the last time.

Sir Walter Scott: What a tangled web a liar weaves, When he practises to deceive!

Thomas Jefferson: He who permits himself to tell a lie once, finds it much easier to do it a second and third time, till at length it becomes habitual.

Virginia Woolfe: If you do not tell the truth about yourself you cannot tell it about other people.

Abraham Lincoln: You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.

Adrienne Rich: Lying is done with words and also with silence.

Benjamin Disraeli: There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics.

Demosthenes: Nothing is easier than self-deceit. For what each man wishes, that he also believes to be true.

George Eliot: Falsehood is easy, truth so difficult.

John F. Kennedy: The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie -- deliberate, contrived and dishonest -- but the myth -- persistent, persuasive and unrealistic

Modern Times and Man

A man that values privileges above principles soon loses both. * Dwight D Eisenhower

Most of the change we think we see in life is due to truths being in and out of favour. * Robert Frost

It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society. * J Krishnamurti

Formerly, when religion was strong and science weak, men mistook magic for medicine; now, when science is strong and religion weak, men mistake medicine for magic. * Thomas Szasz

Virtue of a weak: Jealousy

A competent and self-confident person is incapable of jealousy in anything. Jealousy is invariably a symptom of neurotic insecurity. Lazurus Long

Jealous souls re not ever jealous for the cause, But jealous for they are jealous: 'tis a monster Begot upon itself, born on itself. Othello, Act 3, scene 4. William Shakespeare 1564 - 1616)

No one can make you jealous, angry, vengeful, or greedy - unless you want to be. Napolean Hill

Mind and Time

A still mind sees solutions that are hidden to most others.

Time is the most strechable element of all...

because - it lengthens when you are waiting…

and shortens when you enjoy the moments.

Do Good and Get Worse (To GOD of Modern Times!)

There was a man who worked for the Post Office whose job was to process all the mail that had illegible addresses.

One day, a letter came addressed in a shaky handwriting to God with no actual address. He thought he should open it to see what it was about. The letter read:

Dear God,

I am an 83 year old widow, living on a very small pension. Yesterday someone stole my purse. It had $100 in it, which was all the money I had until my next pension payment. Next Sunday is Christmas, and I had invited two of my friends over for dinner. Without that money, I have nothing to buy food with, have no family to turn to, and you are my only hope. Can you please help me?


Sincerely,


Edna

The postal worker was touched. He showed the letter to all the other workers. Each one dug into his or her wallet and came up with a few dollars. By the time he made the rounds, he had collected $96, which they put into an envelope and sent to the woman. The rest of the day, all the workers felt a warm glow thinking of Edna and the dinner she would be able to share with her friends.


Christmas came and went. A few days later, another letter came from the same old lady to God. All the workers gathered around while the letter was opened. It read:


Dear God,

How can I ever thank you enough for what you did for me? Because of your gift of love, I was able to fix a glorious dinner for my friends. We had a very nice day and I told my friends of your wonderful gift. By the way, there was $4 missing. I think it might have been those b*****s at the post office.


Sincerely,


Edna

For Ordinary....

“How odd is the logic of the mind - it seeks compromises when they are wrong, and it asks for justice when others are wrong !”

But What about those who are not ordinary!

Wait for the next....only if you are o---n--y and you won't, I know if you are extrao---n--y.
