Comic Strips    Time for Few quotes now,let's start with my all time favourite very special quote, First they ignore you,Then they laugh at you,Then they fight with you,Then you win. - M.K.Gandhi Quotes
"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything -- all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure -- these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart." "Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma -- which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice." - Steve Jobs "Follow your hopes not your fears" "Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes.The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They invent. They imagine. They heal. They explore. They create. They inspire. They push the human race forward. Maybe they have to be crazy.How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art? Or sit in silence and hear a song that's never been written? Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels? We make tools for these kinds of people.While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do."-Steve Jobs "If you want to take your mission in life to the next level, if you're stuck and you don't know how to rise, don't look outside yourself. Look inside. Don't let your fears keep you mired in the crowd. Abolish your fears and raise your commitment level to the point of no return, and I guarantee you that the Champion within will burst forth to propel you toward victory. - Bruce Jenner "Gold medals aren't really made of gold. They're made of sweat, determination, & a hard-to-find alloy called guts. -Dan Gable "We all at certain times in our lives find ourselves broken. True strength is found in picking up the pieces. "Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind." - Christian Larson "When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly & unquestionably. -Walt Disney "Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck." - Dalai Lama "When something bad happens you have three choices. You can either let it define you, let it destroy you, or you can let it strengthen you."-Unknown "To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment." Ralph Waldo Emerson "Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you'll never, ever have enough. -Oprah "To be successful, you must decide exactly what you want to accomplish, then resolve to pay the price to get it. "You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you." - James Allen "There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure." - Paulo Coelho "When you can't remember why you're hurt, that's when you're healed. -Jane Fonda "The more you lose yourself in something bigger than yourself, the more energy you will have. -Norman Peale "All the achievements in this world are made by people who had the courage not to listen to the crowd, but do what they felt was right "Never give up on the things that make you smile. " Donot let past to deciate who you are,but let it be part of who you will become. " Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve. " When you really desires something,all the universe conspires to help you realize your dream. " You are never really playing an opponent. You are playing yourself, your own highest standards, and when you reach your limits, that is real joy. -Arthur Ashe. " Anbe Sivam. (Love is God) " Awake,Arise and Stop not till the goal is reached. " Always think about consequences of failure you won't fail. " Prefer Hardfought defeat than an easy victory. " Be human.Be rational. " A better way to make your dreams to come true is to... ....wake up. " Do not say 'yes' when you want to say 'no'. " Success is a journey, not a destination So stop running.start living. " We must not cease from exploration and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we began and to know the place for the first time. -Einstein " When the going gets tough only the tough gets going. " Failures: It doesn't seem to matter and it doesn't seem. " The significant problems we face can't be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them. " The way we see the problem is the problem. " One thing only i know and that is that i know nothing.-Scorates " I'm just one evening away from glory. " Hope is the last to die. " Believe nothing,merely because you have been told it or because it's traditional or because you yourselves have imagined it.Don't believe what your teacher tells you merely out of respect.But whatever after due consideration and analysis you find to be conducive to the good,the benefit, the welfare of ALL BEINGS,that doctrine,believe and cling to and take it as your guide.-Buddha " Winners are too determined to be defeated.

" I might disagree with what you have to say, but I'll defend your right to say it to the death. -Voltaire. " Truth and Non violence - M.K. Gandhiji. " Thani oru manithannuku unna villai annil eitha jagathini alithiduom - Bharathiyar (If someone starves,let's destory this world.) " Just because you made a mistake doesn't mean you are a mistake. " Ever tried.Ever failed.No matter.Try again. Fail again.Fail better. " I don't like people who have never fallen or stumbled. Their virtue is lifeless and it isn't of much value. Life hasn't revealed its beauty to them. " Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do. " Though times never last, though people always do. |
