“A lamp kept on mound illumines the area; if kept in a pit, it is as if it were not. A virtue that is practised is a lamp that shines for all; good thoughts and good deeds have a way of influencing others. The gems of wisdom, the light of intuitive experience should not be kept away from fellow - men. They have to be shared, even at the cost od one's life. That was the lesson Jesus taught and symbolised.” IfsMenWayShouldLightJesusVirtueInfluenceTaughtLessonsCostAreasFellowsShiningDeedsGood DeedsLampsIntuitiveFellow ManPitsGemsGood Thoughts Author:Sathya Sai Baba
“Back when I had a little, I thought that I needed a lot. A little was overrated, but a lot was a little too complicated. See, zero didn't satisfy me. A million didn't make me happy. That's when I learned a lesson that it's all about your perception....THERE'S HOPE. It doesn't cost a thing to smile. You don't have to pay to laugh. Better thank God for that.” LittlesPayMillionsLaughingNeededLessonsCostPerceptionComplicatedZeroThank GodMake Me HappyBack WhenOverrated Author:India.Arie
“Every time we killed a thousand Bugs at a cost of one M.I. it was a net victory for the Bugs. We were learning, expensively, just how efficient a total communism can be when used by a people actually adapted to it by evolution; the Bug commisars didn't care any more about expending soldiers than we cared about expending ammo. Perhaps we could have figured this out about the Bugs by noting the grief the Chinese Hegemony gave the Russo-Anglo-American Alliance; however the trouble with 'lessons from history' is that we usually read them best after falling flat on our chins.” PeopleCareUsedFallGriefTroubleEvolutionVictoryLessonsCostThousandSoldierCommunismChineseFlatsEfficientBugsAlliancesChinsAdaptedHegemonyAmmo Author:Robert A.
