“Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.” Gauthama Buddha

Moral courage is not merely a virtue; it is the virtue. Without it there are no other virtues. All other virtues do not become virtues unless it takes moral courage to exercise them. **** I have never met a man with moral courage who wouldn't,when it was really necessary, face bodily danger. Moral courage is a higher & rarer virtue than physical courage.

General Sir William Slim, former Commander-in-chief, Allied Land Forces in South-East Asia

Courage is the first of human qualities because it is the quality which guarantees the others.
Socrates

Share everything.
Play fair.
Don't hit people.
Put things back where you found them.
Clean up your own mess.
Don't take things that aren't yours.
Say sorry when you hurt somebody.
Wash your hands before you eat.
Flush.
Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.
Live a balanced life.

And then follows no other community but the Useful Idiots: so called intellectuals, as Lenin himself was quick to recognize the invaluable use of those. Oh! Yes, it is truth, but nothing but absolute truth: the minority has been suffering for a long time, It is high noon the majority redress the grievances of the ethnic minority. The strong man with a dagger is followed by the weak man with the sponge, quipped lord Acton. Until the boy who yelled, “ The King is naked” emerge once again from the madness, wilderness, melee & chaos, there is no escape. Waiting for the boyot. In the year 1995, State Department awarded USD 500,00 contract to a Yale University genocide research, head by Ben Kiernan, a professor well known-even self confesses-as an early apologist for the Pot Pot regime. An academic battle triggered when Harvard Research associate Stephen Morris attacked Kieran in the Wall Street Journal. Under the headline “ The wrong man to investigate Cambodia, Morris called his fellow Australian “radical activist-cum-academic known as one of the Khmer Rouge’s most ardent defenders during Pol Pot’s reign of terror….who spoke tirelessly against most refugee accounts & Western reporting.” Kiernren’s supported countered that Kiernen’s subsequent “ mature’ work far outweighed what one called "juvenilla" Kiernan then weighed in himself, explaining that in 19179 he had penned a “frank admission” that he had been “late” in assessing the Cambodian tragedy. He was late by 2 million lives of human beings. They were killed like flies. So much for the intellectuals & academics. What was the value of life of Kiernan to his parents? What is the value of his son’s life to Kiernan? What is the value of 2 millions human beings? The average man, the man in the street has miserably failed to make out the endless idiocy of the pundictocarcy: perceive how extreme is the mental imbecility of the so-called intellectuals & academics.

What’s with this sudden choice of disorders we get right now? When I was a kid, we just had crazy people, that’s it, just crazy people.

Not quite, Sir Vidya, not quite.

No doubt, Mr. President, no doubt indeed.

"India must conquer the world & nothing else is my ideal. Our eternal policy must be the preaching of Shastras to the nations of the world. One of the reasons for India's downfall was that she narrowed herself, went into a shell, as the oyster does & refused to give her treasures & jewels to the other races of mankind, refused to give the life giving truths to the thirsting nations outside the Aryan fold."
Swami Vivekananda

"They are not the enemy. Ignorance i s the enemy. The gwei-lo just don't know us Chinese. Our race has been closed for so long, outsiders have never seen the beauty of our culture. They don't know how to emulate the beauty of a crane or the ferocity of a tiger. I say let's show it to them"

I wish they don't forget to keep those treasures pure which they have in excellence over the west: their artistic building of life, the simplicity and modesty in personal need, and the pureness and calmness of Japanese soul.
Albert E. Referring to the Japanese people.

Baby, Sweetheart, would I lie to you?
Amicule, deliciae, num is sum qui mentiar tibi?

Tell me lies, sweet little lies.

Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.

Ethical axioms are found and tested not very differently from the axioms of science. Truth is what stands the test of experience.

A person who is religiously enlightened appears to me to be one who has, to the best of his ability, liberated himself from the fetters of his selfish desires and is preoccupied with thoughts, feelings, and aspirations to which he clings because of their superpersonalvalue.

I want to know how God created this world. I am not interested in this or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that element. I want to know His thoughts; the rest are details.

What really interests me is whether God had any choice in the creation of the world.

One reason why mathematics enjoys special esteem, above all other sciences, is that its laws are absolutely certain and indisputable, while those of other sciences are to some extent debatable and in constant danger of being overthrown by newly discovered facts.

In human freedom in the philosophical sense I am definitely a disbeliever. Everybody acts not only under external compulsion but also in accordance with inner necessity. Schopenhauer's saying, that "a man can do as he will, but not will as he will," has been an inspiration to me since my youth up, and a continual consolation and unfailing well-spring of patience in the face of the hardships of life, my own and others'. This feeling mercifully mitigates the sense of responsibility which so easily becomes paralysing, and it prevents us from taking ourselves and other people too seriously; it conduces to a view of life in which humour, above all, has its due place.

A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving..

How strange is the lot of us mortals! Each of us is here for a brief sojourn; for what purpose he knows not, though he sometimes thinks he senses it. But without deeper reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people — first of all for those upon whose smiles and well-being our own happiness is wholly dependent, and then for the many, unknown to us, to whose destinies we are bound by the ties of sympathy.

As a child, I received instruction both in the Bible and in the Talmud. I am a Jew, but I am enthralled by the luminous figure of the Nazarene.

If you are out to describe the truth, leave elegance to the tailor.

There are three classes of intellects: one which comprehends by itself; another which appreciates what others comprehend; and a third which neither comprehends by itself nor by the showing of others; the first is the most excellent, the second is good, and the third is useless.
Niccolo Machiavelli

The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
Nelson Mandela

You must rise or you must fail. You must rule & win, or serve & lose, you must suffer or triumph, you must be anvil or hammer.
Goethe

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is a habit.
Socrates

Opportunities multiply as they are seized.
The Art of War

I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.
Bruce Lee

You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.
Winston Churchill

To believe in something, and not live it, is dishonest.
Mohandas Gandhi

"FIDES" is often (and wrongly) translated 'faith', but it has nothing to do with the word as used by Christians writing in Latin about the Christian virute (St. Paul Letter to the Corinthians, chapter 13). For the Romans, FIDES was an essential element in the character of a man of public affairs, and a necessary constituent element of all social and political transactions (perhaps = 'good faith'). FIDES meant 'reliablilty', a sense of trust between two parties if a relationship between them was to exist. FIDES was always reciprocal and mutual, and implied both privileges and responsibilities on both sides. In both public and private life the violation of FIDES was considered a serious matter, with both legal and religious consequences. FIDES, in fact, was one of the first of the 'virtues' to be considered an actual divinity at Rome. The Romans had a saying, "Punica fides" (the reliability of a Carthaginian) which for them represented the highest degree of treachery: the word of a Carthaginian (like Hannibal) was not to be trusted, nor could a Carthaginian be relied on to maintain his political relationships.
