LISTEN CAREFULLY

 

                LISTEN CAREFULLY

1.     Cause and effect are inseparable. To mention the effect without the cause is to speak half the truth with some ulterior motive. Listeners as well as readers know that there cannot be smoke without fire. Moreover, the whole truth cannot be kept back eternally.

2.     Every action has a reaction. If you hit a mirror with a piece of stone, you will instantly find many pieces of that mirror on the ground .

3.     Those who live in glass houses do not throw stones on others if they know that revenge is a stern reality.  

4.     A soldier without a weapon is like a purse without money.

5.     It is not individuals that defeat armed opponents but the larger in number or more destructive weapons.

6.     Pride is not immortal. Every individual is subject to decline and end in the long run.

7.     Every cloud has a silver lining is a scientific fact.

8.     Two wrongs do not make one right.

9.     To tremble before anticipated evils, is to bemoan what you have never lost.

10.                         Ever person is a volume if you know how to read him.

11.                         Borrowing is not much better than begging.

12.                         It is not only men but also material that fulfils a purpose.

13.                         Sin and repentance are inter-related.

14.                         The usual fortune of complaint is to excite contempt more than pity.

15.                          God sees the truth but waits.

16.                          Nothing is pleasant that is not spiced with variety.

17.                         Wrong is but falsehood put in practice.

18.                         Might is not always right.

19.                         Life is short but not eventless.

20.                         Much bending breaks the bow; much unbending the mind.
