REMEMBER
*Knowledge without common sense is
folly; without method it is waste, without kindness it is fanaticism; without
religion it is death. But with common sense, it is wisdom; with method it is
power; with character it is beneficence,
with religion, it is virtue, life and peace. ----The Talmud
*Without labour nothing prospers.
*A quitter never wins and a winner
never quits.
*A
laugh is just like sunshine,
For
cheering folks along.
A
laugh is just like music,
It
lingers in the heart.------Anonymous
*It
is not growing like a tree
In
bulk, doth make Man better be;
Or
standing long an oak, three hundred year,
To
fall a log at last, dry, bald, and sere.
A
lily of a day
Is
fairer far in May,
Although
it fall and die that night---
It
was the plant and flower of Light.
In
small proportions we just beauties see :
And
in short measures life may perfect be.
----English poet Ben Jonson (1572-1637).
*Not
gold, but only men can make
A
people great and strong---
Men
who, for truth and honour’s sake,
Stand
fast and suffer long.
Brave
men who work while others sleep,
Who
dare while others fly,
They
build a nation’s pillars deep,
And
lift them to the sky.
------American poet and philosopher Ralph Waldo
Emerson (1803-1882).
*It is the age that forms the man,
not the man that forms the age. Great minds do indeed react on the society
which has made them what they are, but they only pay with interest what they
have received.
------English critic and historian Thomas Babington Macaulay (1809-59).
