saved by docileone (44)A clever person solves a problem. A wise person avoids it.
Speak only if it improves upon the silence.
Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.
Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous.
Try to become not a man of success, but try rather to become a man of value.
A leader leads by example not by force.
Success is going from failure to failure without a loss of enthusiasm.
He who is not contented with what he has, would not be contented with what he would like to have.
Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.
You should be the change that you want to see in the world.
Computers are incredibly fast, accurate and stupid. Human beings are incredibly slow, inaccurate and brilliant. Together they are powerful beyond imagination.
Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them.
If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you'll never get it done.
If you think a thing is impossible, you'll make it impossible.
If you always put limit on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.
A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer.
Knowing is not enough, you must apply; willing is not enough, you must do.
Simplicity is the key to brilliance.
A goal is not always meant to be reached, it often serves simply as something to aim at.
A quick temper will make a fool of you soon enough.
Real living is living for others.
The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world's problem.
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. The word Charity is here used as a translation of the Latin Caritas, and the original Greek Agape, which were words for "Love", and used to denote the highest and most self-transcending forms of Love.
Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends.
