Lao Says All!!

Knowledge studies others

Wisdom is Self-known;

Muscle master brothers

Self Mastery is Bone,

Content need never borrow

Ambition wanders blind:

Vitality cleaves to the marrow

Leaving death behind.
(Tao Te Ching)

Mohammad Ali - (Quote)

Some Wise Words by Victor Hugo

* Change your opinions, keep to your principles; change your leaves, keep intact your roots.


*  Blessed be Providence which has given to each his toy: the doll to the child, the child to the woman, the woman to the man, the man to the devil!.

*  Change your opinions, keep to your principles; change your leaves, keep intact your roots.

*  Civil war? What does that mean? Is there any foreign war? Isn't every war fought between men, between brothers?.

*  Idleness is the heaviest of all oppressions.

*  Many great actions are committed in small struggles.

*  Nations, like stars, are entitled to eclipse. All is well, provided the light returns and the eclipse does not become endless night. Dawn and resurrection are synonymous. The reappearance of the light is the same as the survival of the soul.

*  Our life dreams the Utopia. Our death achieves the Ideal.

Some wise words by George Orwell.

"War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength." 


"In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act." 


"Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind. 


"The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history." 


"Every generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it." 


"Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them." 


"The best books... are those that tell you what you know already." 


"Big Brother is Watching You."


"But if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought." 


"Now I will tell you the answer to my question. It is this. The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from the oligarchies of the past in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just around the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know what no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now you begin to understand me." 


"All the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting." 

Quotation of the Day

Danger lies in the writer becoming the victim of his own exaggeration ... and in the end coming to despise truth itself as something too cold, too blunt for his purpose—as, in fact, not good enough for his insistent emotion. From laughter and tears the descent is easy to sniveling and giggles.

Joseph Conrad (1857-1924)

Rumi

Travelers, it is late.
Life's sun is going to set.
During these brief days that you have strength,
be quick and spare no effort of your wings.

Rumi

Quote of the day - RUMI

"O love, O pure deep love, be here, be now. Be all; worlds dissolve into Your stainless endless radiance"

Quote of the Day.

"Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both." Benjamin franklin

Rumi

"Knock, and He'll open the door


Vanish, and He'll make you shine like a sun


Fall, and He'll raise you to the heavens


Become nothing, and He'll turn you into everything."


(Jalal ud Din Rumi)
