Quote by Philip Roth

“Cruzaban por su mente los mismos pensamientos, inútiles para un hombre como él, sin gran talento, aunque no para Sófocles: lo accidental que es el sino, o lo accidental que todo puede parecer cuando es ineludible.”

“Keep giving. Don’t stop planting. Whatever grows, then great. Whatever dies, take little notice. If you plant enough, then the things that die or are stunted pale into insignificance next to everything else which has flourished. Use failures and flops as learning devices. Keep moving forwards. Keep investing yourself, your money, your time, and everything else you have to offer. Trust your own destiny, but don’t imagine that your destiny will destine on its own. Without you and your effort, your destiny won’t lift a finger.”

“Sonnet of Life Lessons Rich is not the one who's got a lot of dough, But one whose touch make others forget their woe. Happy is not the one who's always chasing pleasure, But one who forgets all pleasure helping another grow. Success is not about getting recognition, Success is about achieving excellence beyond norm. Achievement is not when you reach a certain goal, But when your goal lifts others beyond your home. Destiny is not a script written by a superman, But one you write yourself with your labor and sweat. Sanctity is not what priests sell you at the church, But how you behave with others outside the church gate. Nobody can give you lessons of life packed in a few lines. If you know to help another, your heart knows all the lines.”

“You Are The Universe (The Sonnet) You don't carry the torch, you are the torch. You don't build the bridge, you are the bridge. You don't pave the way, you are the way. You don't make peace, you are the peace. You don't build the future, you are the future. You don't build civilization, you are civilization. You don't serve the society, you are the society. You don't work for reform, you are reformation. You don't walk the path, you are the path. You don't lift humanity, you are the humanity. You don't make progress, you are the progress. You don't serve the community, you are community. You don't live in the universe, you are the universe. Dimension destiny unfolds only in the human heart.”
