Think or sink!

Here comes the next random post - a first cousin of the earlier post! :)

Girls and women WANT to be heard and listened to.

But men either pretend not to hear or DO not really listen!

The best gift you can ever give to a girl /woman/ lady is

your undivided attention!

How many times has any man given this in his life time???
 

Worldly wise sayings.

"Don't sweat petty things.
Don't pet sweaty things"

"A fair face may fade.
A fair soul never fades."

"If everything is under control,
THEN you are moving too slow!"

"Fools rush in where angels fear to tread"
Most of us are a mixture of both fools and angels.
We rush in and also fear to to tread - at the same time.
 
We all know this wise saying!

But I have found out that ............

Just as a daughter can remain a daughter for life
A good son can also remain a loyal son all his life.

Also a son can bring in a daughter in our life
In the form of his dear good-natured wife. :clap2:
 
How izzzat???? :decision:

A man whose nick name was 'A Walking Encyclopedia' met his match quite unexpectedly, in a party!

The W.E (Walking Encyclopedia) was showing off the width, depth, breadth and volume of his vast knowledge to the adoring circle of friends.

(They had no choice but to grin and bear it. Well, that is another story and is beside the point here.)

A very simple looking man-nothing in comparison to the W.E. in any respect- told him,"Sir! between us we know everything that needs to be known!"

The W.E gave a quizzical and queer look at the unimpressive speaker of these words. The man continued,

"You seem to know everything except that you are a bore! I know that you are a bore. So between us we know everything that needs to be known under the Sun!" :shocked:

Moral of the story...
The is a David for every Goliath in God's creation! :lol:​

 
Facts.
Facts are stubborn things. :ballchain:
Tobias Smollett.
Comment is free but facts are sacred. :clap2:
Charles Prestwick Scott.

But facts are facts and flinch not. :nono:
Robert Browning.​
 
Old proverbs:-

Stolen waters are sweet...just as the stolen kisses!

Pride goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall.

Answer a fool according to his folly.

Train up a child the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

He that spareth his rod hateth his son.

Hope deferred maketh the heart sick.
 
A well written letter may bring you a new friends,

collect money for you, help you to achieve your desires;

but a poor one will cost you everything you value most.

Replace 'letter' with tweet/hoot/ whatsoever for the modern times!
 
The Force of the Facts!

Facts.

Facts that are not frankly faced
have a habit of stabbing us at the back. :heh:
Sir Harold Bowden.

I grew daily to honor facts more and more, and theory less and less. :peace:A fact, it seems to me, is a great thing- a sentence printed, if not by God, then at least by the Devil.
Thomas Carlyle.
 
அன்னையின் அழகிய நாமங்கள் சில.

தௌர்பாக்யமாக இருக்கின்ற பஞ்சுப் பொதியை
சிதறடிக்கும் சூறாவளிக் காற்றாக இருப்பவளே!

அழகிய முகவிலாசம் ஆகிய தடாகத்தில் விளையாடும்
மீன்களுக்கு நிகரான கண்களை உடையவளே!

தன்னை வணங்கும் பக்தர்கள் உள்ளத்தின் அஞ்ஞான இருளைத்
தன் கால் நகங்களின் காந்தியால் அகற்றுபவளே !

பிரபஞ்சத்தைப் படைக்கும் எண்ணம் கொண்ட
காமேஸ்வருடைய இடது தொடைமேல் அமர்ந்து
அச்செயலுக்கு அவருக்கு துணை புரிபவளே !

சிருஷ்டி கர்த்தாக்களாகிய பிரம்மா, விஷ்ணு, ருத்ரன்,
ஈஸானன், சதாசிவம் ஆகிய ஐந்து மூர்திகளைக் கொண்டு
அமைக்கப்பட்ட ஆசனத்தில் எழுந்தருளி இருப்பவளே!

சுருதிகள் என்று சொல்லப் படுகின்ற பெண்களுடைய
கூந்தல் வகிட்டில் அமைக்கப் பெற்ற சிந்தூரத்தைத் தன்
பாத தூளிகைகளாகக் கொண்டவளே!

சாமரங்களைக் கைகளில் ஏந்திய லக்ஷ்மி தேவியும்,
சரஸ்வதி தேவியும் இட, வலப் பக்கங்களில் நின்று
சேவிக்கப் பெற்றவளே!

காமேஸ்வரருக்கும் அம்பிகைக்கும் இடையே
நடக்கும் விளையாட்டின் விளைவாக,
அண்டங்கள் என்னும் அலைகளை,
சதா சர்வ காலமும் தோற்றுவிப்பவளே.

தியானமாகவும், தியானம் செய்பவனாகவும்
தியானத்தின் இலக்காகவும் இருப்பவளே!

கண்களைத் திறப்பதாலும், மூடுவதாலும்
பிரபஞ்சத்தின் உற்பத்தியையும், ஒடுக்கத்தையும்
நிகழ்துபவளே! ,

மஹா கல்பம் என்ற பெறும் பிரளயத்தின் போது
மகேஸ்வரர் புரியும் மஹா தாண்டவத்துக்கு
சாக்ஷி யாக இருப்பவளே!

One of the greatest pains to human nature is the pain of new ideas.

A woman's grief is like a summer storm-short as it violent is.

Opportunity makes a thief.

Crafty men condemn studies,
Simple men admire them,
Wise men use them.
 
That man is wisest who, like Socrates, realizes that his wisdom is worthless.

Man was not born for himself but for his country.

Time brings everything.

Through obedience learn to command.

The good is the beautiful.

(Plato)
 
Shorter the poem... greater the impact!

Here is an example. I owe the credit for first line to Dr. Renu

The second line can be anybody s long as he is a man!

"Bam! Bam! Thank you Mam!

Ban! Ban! Get lost man!"

Very cute and short! Right?

Some nice sayings which I can't forget!

"Keep wanting!"
(When someone tells us that he /she wants something!)

"Go and jump!"
(When people keep jabbing you with a blunt wooden sword)

"Hands up pants down!"
(The strip search done at the airports and now apparently even in road sides!) :doh:

 
The best reason to keep your chin up in trouble is that it keeps the mouth shut. :)

What people do and what they think is never stamped on their smiling faces! :(​

Quotes by Plato

Poets utter great wise things which they do not themselves understand.

Nothing in the affairs of men is worthy of great anxiety.

Every king springs from a race of slaves, and every slave has had kings among his ancestors.

The rulers of the State are the only ones who should have the privilege of lying, either at home or abroad; they may be allowed to lie for the good of the State.

(Plato)
 
Fame.

Fame usually comes to those :bump2:
who are thinking about something else.
Oliver Wendell Holmes.

(How very true! Chasers lose it and
Fame chooses the non-chasers!)

All fame is dangerous:
good bringeth envy; :evil:
bad shame. :gossip:
Thomas fuller.

(Sterling statements!!!)

Even with philosophers, the passion for fame is
often their last rag of infirmity. :tsk:​
 

Pleasures are greatest in anticipation.
Just remember that this is true of troubles also.

The best argument is one which
seems to be merely an explanation.

FAME
Fame is like a river, that beareth up things light and swollen,
and drowns things weighty and solid. :faint:
Francis Bacon.

Fame is a food that dead men eat- :rip:
I have no stomach for such meat. :hand:
Henry Austin Dobson.​

When you have nothing to say, say nothing.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Examinations are formidable even to the best prepared, for the greatest fool may ask more than the wisest man can answer.

Man is an embodied paradox, a bundle of contradictions.

(Charles Caleb Colton).

Click to expand...

So the better version of this punching poem is

"Bam! Bam! Thank You Mam!
Ban! Ban! Be gone Man!"

Don't you agree this is better?
As I always so... there is always scope for improvement! :)
