“If man has nothing to eat, fasting is the most intelligent thing he can do. If, for instance, Siddhartha had not learned to fast, he would have had to seek some kind of work today, either with you, or elsewhere, for hunger would have driven him. But as it is, Siddhartha can wait calmly. He is not impatient, he is not in need, he can ward off hunger for a long time and laugh at it. Therefore, fasting is useful, sir.” IfsMenNeedsKindLongTodayWaitingCan DoLaughingLong TimeIntelligentHungerDrivenInstanceElsewhereImpatientFastingSiddhartha Book:Siddhartha: An Indian Tale Source: Siddhartha: An Indian Tale

“I learned in America a long time ago, the three R's, the principle of three R's - reuse, reduce, recycle. And as I say those words, there are so many things individually we can do to reduce - we don't need to consume as much as we are consuming. Reduce. And by reusing, we can reuse a lot of things we just throw into the dumpsite. And reduce the production. The more we reuse, the more we can reduce.” NeedsLongAmericaThreeCan DoPrinciplesLong TimeProductionsLong Time AgoConsumingReuse Author:Wangari Maathai
“That's one of the challenges of acting. You can't expect that you're going to be successful, but you've got to put your heart and everything you have into it. Look at a guy like Ian McKellen, who is eighty or whatever, and he's just loving his work and you can see that in the work. That defines what type of actor you are. And what kind of people want to work with you. And whether you can do this job for a long, long time.” PeopleWantLooksHeartKindLongJobsGuyActorsCan DoChallengesActingSuccessfulTypeLong TimeBeing SuccessfulEighty Author:Jason Clarke
“Mother Teresa was a hero of mine for a long time. I just like the way she took on the world from a very humble place. She has a great quote.
