Story Quotes

“My spouse is my shield, my spouse is my strength.”

“The world is administered by rich but it is constructed by poor.”

“I once held a belief that life made sense, that working toward a dream would birth substance. Nothing else mattered. I soon discovered that success is as long-lasting as any of life’s novelties. We’ve all been happy with new things, only to be disappointed later. Dolls and soldiers our parents toiled to give us found their way to pedestals, then to the back of closets. I’d always dreamed of marrying a woman I loved and watching my children grow. I wonder if our lives should be filled with the pursuit of such dreams, those magical hopes interwoven into our story. Our stories are decorative shells for the crabs we really are, both protecting and exposing us to the manic outside.”

“[I]t seems that everyone has fallen under the thrall of this idea that we’re all writers and dramatists now, that each of us has a special voice and something very important to say, usually about a feeling we have, and all this gets expressed in the black maw of social media billions of times a day. Usually this feeling is outrage, because outrage gets attention, outrage gets clicks, outrage can make your voice heard above the deafening din of voices squalling over one another in this nightmarish new culture—and the outrage is often tied to a lunacy demanding human perfection, spotless citizens, clean and likable comrades, and requiring thousands of apologies daily. Advocating while creating your own drama and your brand is where the game is now. And if you don’t follow the new corporate rules accordingly you are banished, exiled, erased from history.”

“To a farmer dirt is not a waste, it is wealth.”

“What luck has gave you will probably leave you.”

“A good swordsman is more important than a good sword.”

“The purpose of a profession is to fulfil the personal wishes of a prospect.”

“Passion makes you good, but pride stops you to get better.”

“You cannot choose your face but you can choose your dress.”

“A professional who doesn't deliver as committed is not just lazy, he is a liar.”

“A powerful process automatically takes care of progress, productivity and profits.”

“For few matters you need to be solo, for some matters you need soul mate and for many matters you need society,”

“An old fashioned outfit is not a costume, it's a comedy.”

“Uniform of a soldier and uniform of a student both are equally needed for the nation.”

“Brilliance of the brain must be admired more than beauty of the body.”

“Words are better than weapons, wisdom is better than war.”
