Here are a few solid ones from me:


A man with no ambition is equivalent to a rotting corpse.

One is never too old to desire and then to achieve it.


Think not what you have done, but think what you will do next.

If the misery of the poor be caused not by the laws of nature, but by our institutions, great is our sin.
-Charles Darwin


One can survive everything, nowadays, except death, and live down everything except a good reputation.
-Oscar Wilde


By a curious confusion, many modern critics have passad from the proposition that a masterpiece may be unpopular to other proposition that unless it is unpopular it cannot be a masterpiece.
-David Chesterton


He is a great man who can neglect the appause of multitude, and enjoy himself independent of its favour.
-Richard Steele


Any ordinary favour we do for someone or any compassionate reaching out may seem to go nopwhere at first, but maybe planting a seed that we can't see now. Sometimes we need to just do the best we can and trust in an unfolding that we can't design or ordain.
-Sharon Salzberg


Here are few thought provoking Quotes by George Bernard Shaw:



A fool's brain digests philosophy into folly, science into superstition, and art into pedantry. Hence University education.

Peace is not only better than war, but infinitely more arduous.

The only service a friend can really render is to keep up your courage by holding up to you a mirror in which you can see a noble image of yourself.

Nothing is ever accomplished by a reasonable man.


And here are the two that made me what I am today:
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in the world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, make them.
