“Not that one choose to draw aside in churlish mein or vein, From common lot of what life holds of pleasure, toil or pain But that the call-s to rise and cruise alone with dreams unshared Or plan alone for some far goal, for which none else has cared Or fight alone for what you hold is worth a warrior-s strife And ask no gain or fame or aught beyond the joy of life.” DreamPainJoyFightingAsksGoalPleasureCommonPlansFameDrawsGainsWarriorAviationToilStrifeVeinsJoy Of LifeCruise Author:Gill Robb Wilson
“It's always fun to do something that you know ultimately is not about the money, and it's certainly not for the fame - because it's a pain in the ass. But it's really the person in the theater seat you think about when you sit in a room and write.” ThinkingKnowsWritingPersonsPainFunRoomsFameAssSeats Author:Jim Carrey
“Women should be respected as well! Generally speaking, men are held in great esteem in all parts of the world, so why shouldn't women have their share? Soldiers and war heroes are honored and commemorated, explorers are granted immortal fame, martyrs are revered, but how many people look upon women too as soldiers?...Women, who struggle and suffer pain to ensure the continuation of the human race, make much tougher and more courageous soldiers than all those big-mouthed freedom-fighting heroes put together!” PeopleMenWorldShouldHumansWellsLooksWarBigsPainTogetherSufferingFightingRaceStruggleShareHeroFameSoldierEsteemGrantedHuman RaceImmortalCourageousInsightfulHonoredMartyrExplorersContinuationWar Hero Book:The Diary of a Young Girl: The Definitive Edition Source: The Diary of a Young Girl: The Definitive Edition

“One day I wrote her name upon the strand, But came the waves and washèd it away: Again I wrote it with a second hand, But came the tide and made my pains his prey. Vain man (said she) that dost in vain assay A mortal thing so to immortalise; For I myself shall like to this decay, And eke my name be wipèd out likewise. Not so (quod I); let baser things devise To die in dust, but you shall live by fame; My verse your virtues rare shall eternise, And in the heavens write your glorious name: Where, when as Death shall all the world subdue, Our love shall live, and later life renew.” MenWorldWritingMadeSaidHandsPainDiesNamesHeavenVirtueOne DayFameWaveDustMortalsVainGloriousLive ByTidesDecayVersesOur LovePreyStrandsSecond Hand Author:Edmund Spenser
“Remember remain alert that you don't get too much attached to the accidental - and all is accidental except your consciousness. Except your awareness, all is accidental. Pain and pleasure, success and failure, fame and defamation - all is accidental. Only your witnessing consciousness is essential. Stick to it! Get more and more rooted in it. And don't spread your attachment to worldly things.” PainRememberPleasureConsciousnessToo MuchAwarenessFameEssentialsSticksSpreadAttachmentRootedWorldlySuccess And FailurePain And PleasureDefamationWorldly Things Author:Rajneesh
