IDEAS ARE DEATH

 

IDEAS ARE DEATH

            Immortality is one of the precious features of great ideas. Ideas are not made of flesh. They are like souls, which according to the Hindu sacred book The Bhagavad Gita, are deathless.      

            Some nearly exact synonyms of Ideas are: thoughts, views, viewpoints, opinions, beliefs, judgments, and concepts.

            It is great thinkers who produce great ideas and thoughts which last not for a few years but till eternity.

            The ideas of Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Francis Bacon, Shakespeare, Goethe, Aristophanes, Balzac, Edmund  Burke, Dante, Einstein, Emerson, Euripides, Abraham Lincoln, Napoleon Bonaparte, Lord Krishna, Lord Buddha, Mahatma Gandhi,  Virgil, and Homer, etc. are immortal.

Look at the following ideas which came into existence long ago and are still on the lips of humanity.

*All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts.---Shakespeare.

*Knowledge is power. Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man and writing an exact man.---Francis Bacon  

*The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in times of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality.---Dante

*Conquering oneself is the highest victory.---Plato

*Wise men talk because they have something to say. ---Plato

*We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.---Aristotle

*Fortune favours the bold.---Virgil

*Of all creatures that breathe and move upon the earth, nothing is bred that is weaker than man.----Homer

*With our thoughts we make the world.---Lord Buddha

*You have the right to work, but never to the fruit of work. Let not the fruit of action be  your motive, nor let your attachment be to inaction. ---Lord Krishna

*If you want to change the world, start with yourself. ---Mahatma Gandhi

*All men are brothers.----Mahatma Gandhi

 *Until you spread your wings, you will have no idea how far you can fly.---Napoleon Bonaparte

*Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.----Goethe

*Try not to become a man of success. Rather become a man of value.---Albert Einstein

*Hunger is the best sauce. Truth is evergreen. A lie has no legs to stand upon. Might is right. It takes two to make a quarrel. Beggars are not choosers.---All these are proverbial ideas.
