Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear.

Mark Twain (1835-1910)

Fear is absent ONLY in enlightened souls. :angel:

The rest of us handle fear the best way we can...

by choosing to fight :boxing:

to flight :bolt:

or face it! :thumb:

Thunder is good, thunder is impressive; but it is lightning that does the work.

Mark Twain (1835-1910)

I love the silent sparkling lightning

to the roaring boring vociferous thunder.

But the thunder itself is caused by lightning...

when the charge from one raincloud jumps to another

of opposite polarity - breaking the air resistance.

They happen at the same moment.

But we always see the lightning first and

then hear the thunder because

light travels so much faster than sound.

We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence.
See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun,
how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.


Mother Teresa

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Never walk behind me; as I may not lead.
Never walk ahead of me; as I may not follow.
However, try to walk by my side and be my friend always.

By walking ahead. I will be able to lead.
I will know where I am leading.

By walking behind, I will able to follow.
I will know where to I am following.

By walking side by side I may be lead astray
since I know not where I will be reaching!

Writing
What is written without effort is
in general read without interest.

Friedrich W. Nietzsche

since nothing can be more impossible than to compose
one that may secure the approbation of every reader.

Miguel De Cervantes

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Youth

Age is no better, hardly so well qualified,
for an instructor as youth
for it has not profited so much as it has lost.
Henry David Thoreau

But isn't every loss made up by a gain???

True youth is a quality which is acquired only with age.
Jean Cocteau

I always KNEW that youth is a state of mind
and not that of the pain riddled body!

 

[nannilam_balasubramanian]

All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with
another, and regardless of how much you blame him, it will not change
you. The only thing blame does is to keep the focus off you when you
are looking for external reasons to explain your unhappiness or
frustration. You may succeed in making another feel guilty about something
by blaming him, but you won't succeed in changing whatever it
is about you that is making you unhappy.

Wayne W. Dyer

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Youth

The old know what they want;
the young are sad and bewildered.
Logan Pearsall Smith

What youth deemed as crystal,
age finds out was dew.
Robert Browning
