UNFORGETTABLE THOUGHTS

 

UNFORGETTABLE THOUGHTS           

            Thoughts are defined as “the mental process of thinking, creating ideas, beliefs, and opinions, and the products of that process.”

 

            Thoughts are both great and small, high and low, deep and shallow.

           

            Great thoughts which come from great thinkers, philosophers, saints, sages  and poets get recorded in the minds  of all and sundry. They shape their actions, emotions, perceptions, decisions, critical thinking , meaningful interpretation, right behaviour  and the ways of living a successful   life.

  

            Given below are a few unforgettable thoughts.

 

1.     Ability is a poor man’s wealth.

2.     When anger rises, think of the consequences.

3.     A book is a garden, an orchard, a storehouse, a party, a company by the way, a counsellor, a multitude of counsellors.

4.     Brevity is the soul of wit.

5.     Character is higher than intellect.

6.     The dew of compassion is a tear.

7.     Doubt is an incentive to search for truth.

8.     There is not a moment without some duty.

9.     Speech is the body; thought the soul, and suitable action the life of eloquence.

10.                         Example is the school of mankind.

11.                         Your face is a book, where men may read strange matters.

12.                         Repose and cheerfulness are the badge of the gentleman.

13.                         Good humour is the health of the soul; sadness is its poison.

14.                         The first day a guest; the second, burden; the third, a pest.

15.                         What is history but a fable agreed upon?

16.                         One may smile and smile and be a villain still.

17.                        The influence of individual character extends from generation to generation. The world is molded by it.

18.                         Hell is paved with good intentions

19.                         Joy is more divine than sorrow, for joy is bread and sorrow is medicine.

20.                         What we know here is very little, but what we are ignorant of is immense.

                                                *******
