When two boats meet they may capsize.:fish2:

When two ocean liners meet, the damage will be much more.

When a boat tries to cross the path of an ocean liner,

it will get completely destroyed. :ballchain:

It is not politics that corrupts man,
but man corrupts politics.(Anon)

Dignity does not consist in possessing honors,
but in deserving them (Aristotle)

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

If you can not be generous when it is hard to be,
you won't be when it is easy to be.

Nothing is enough for the man,
for whom enough is too little.

The two secrets that should be made public:-

You will never have a good friend,

Unless you become one! :tea:

You will never have a good neighbor,

Even if you become one! :frusty:

Imagination is more important than knowledge.

The trouble with most of us is that we would rather be
ruined by praise than saved by criticism.

A man who knows what not to do is
more likely to know what to do!

It is better to keep a friend than win an argument.

Wit...Quick conception and an easy delivery
(in the words of a midwife's vocabulary)

Shortest sermon..."When in doubt, Don't!"

It is far easier to acquire knowledge,
than conceal ignorance.

Good words.

In an argument nobody wins. "The best way to deal with an argument is to avoid it. You can’t win an argument. If you try you will create enemies. If you prove someone wrong you will tear down their feelings".(Dale Carnegie)

Dear Mr.Brahmanyan,

The dilemma is...

Lose an argument :decision: Lose a friend?

Arguments are a dime a dozen especially in forums like this where many

people interact. But true friends are hard to find.

So a wise man will keep his friend.

A wiser man will avoid argument with his friend.

The wisest man will avoid arguments with anyone!

with warm regards, ray2:

எட்டி உதைப்பது என்?

ஏறும் வரையிலும் வேண்டும் ஒரு ஏணி.
ஏறிய பின்னர் தேவை இல்லை அந்த ஏணி.

என்றவுடன் தான் ஏறி வந்த அதே
ஏணியையே எட்டி உதைப்பது என்? :noidea:

In war...Resolution.

In defeat...Defiance.

In victory....Magnanimity.

In peace...Good will.

A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue
but is the mother of all virtues.
(Cicero)

The secret of being a bore is
to tell everything.

It is no use saying that you did your best.
You must achieve what you ave set out to do!

[Visalakshi Ramani]

ஆக்கமும், ஊக்கமும்.

தானாய்ப் பழுத்த கனி
தேனாய்ச் சுவைக்கும்.
வெம்பிப் பழுத்ததோ
வேம்பாய்க் கசக்கும்.

தானாய் மலர்ந்த மலர்
தன் மணம் பரப்பும்.
பிரித்து விரித்த மலர்
சிறிதும் மணம் தராது.

இறக்கை முளைக்கும் முன்பே
பறக்க விரும்புமோ பறவை?
பறக்க முயன்றாலும் அதன்
சிறகுக்கு உண்டோ பலம் ?

இயற்கையின் நியதிகளை
ஏற்கின்றன உயிரினங்கள்.
முரட்டு மனிதன் மட்டுமே
குறுக்கு வழியில் முயல்வான்!

புகையில் வைத்துக் கனியின்
சுவையினைக் கெடுத்திடுவான்.
வலியப் பிரித்து மலர்களை
மெலிந்து வாடச் செய்வான்.

ஆக்கப் பொறுத்தவர் தாம்
ஆறவும் பொறுக்க வேண்டும்.
தேக்கு வலிமை பெறவேண்டித்
தவம் நின்று செய்கின்றதே!

ஆக்கத்துக்கு வேண்டியது
ஆர்வம் மட்டும் அல்லவே .
ஊக்கம் நிறைந்த நல்லதொரு
உழைப்பும் அவசியமன்றோ? :laser:

[FONT=comic sans ms,sans-serif]Tug of war!

Woman is the personification of love.
Woman also yearns for unlimited love.

When she thinks she is not getting enough of it
She becomes a relentless seeker of it.

There is a worldwide belief that no two
women can coexist in peace under the same roof.

The reason.... the quest for love and its confirmation.

That is why there is always a tug-of war going on
between the mother and the wife of a man.:boink:

They want constant reassurance from him.

In that process they make his life a hell. :fencing:

Why can't they love the man from the same side -
instead of from opposite sides...tearing him into two!?

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Three words and two alphabets.

[FONT=comic sans ms,sans-serif]"I love you" has three words.
"I told you!" also has three words.
But there is a world of difference between these two sentences.

The first one suggests that
"Anything you do is always OK with me!"

The second one suggests
"Everything you do is always wrong!" [/FONT]:whip:
[FONT=comic sans ms,sans-serif]
So while the first sentence is the sweetest in the world, the second is the harshest!

The words 'love ' and 'told' have two common alphabet
'l' and 'o'.

Just the two simple alphabets which differ, change the meaning and mood of the statements upside down!

What a wonderful power these simple words and tiny alphabets seem to possess!! [/FONT]:shocked:

Common sense is instinct.
Enough of it is genius.
G.B.Shaw.

A gentleman is one who disagrees with you,
without becoming disagreeable.

Ideas are like children.
Your own are the most wonderful.

சொன்னதும்....சொல்ல நினைத்ததும்.

கடிக்காமல் இருக்கலாம், இன்னொரு கால் கிடைத்தால்!:bolt:

It is easy to flatter but difficult to praise.

[FONT=comic sans ms,sans-serif]Logs and the Waves.

Human beings are just logs floating in the sea of Samsaaraa.

At times they are brought together by the waves of Fate.

At other times, they are thrown apart by the hands of Fate.

There is nothing that the logs can do about it but to cooperate.

Realizing this truth is the first step in our Spiritual Quest.[/FONT]

Sleep, riches and health to be truly enjoyed,
must be interrupted occasionally!

Men make houses.
Women make homes.

No one can preach better than an ant...
and yet it SAYS nothing!
