The Quote of the Day

hehehehe I have no doubts on that !! heheh

totally right
"Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable... Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals."

Martin Luther King, Jr.

How many "dedicated individuals" do we have? unfortunately, most of us think too small and wish to succeed without struggle and suffering and sacrifice. thank you Sabine for these jewels of good sense from a struggling soul.

So inspirational Sabinou !

Wealth without work
Pleasure without conscience
Science without humanity
Knowledge without character
Politics without principle
Commerce without morality
Worship without deal.”

I had chosen for today a quote from one of the most wonderful novels I had ever read Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice

"I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library."

Miss Bingley, Chapter 11.

The book is so nice, read it only 04 months ago. I like the quote but i dislike the character: Caroline Bingley!
thank you!

You're welcome aspire Me too I dislike her . She is a jealous woman and a snooty snob with no redeeming qualities.

This sentence really touched me. It's told by Tess (the pure woman) condemned by the harsh Victorian society from Hardy's Tess of the D' Ubervilles 'My life looks as if it had been wasted for want of chances! When I see what you know, what you have read, and seen, and thought, I feel what a nothing I am!'

p124

Haven't read the book! would u recommend it?
Poor Tess, I sympathize with you, abrazos para ti!
the phrase reminds me of a filipino friend of mine who lamented our situation as third word citizens working so hard and barely making two ends meet: "We were born in the wrong place!"

Everyone should have a goal in his/her life. Don't live for the sake of living.

"The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well."
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

A wise man speaks because he has something to say; a fool speaks because he has to say something

I read it twice and twice...so,
I understood that it wrote by a wise person.
Thank you .... I liked it.

Really wow aspire, well said.

glad that you like it! thank you Emily and princess. it was said by Plato. a precise translation shud be:

"Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something"
