Blaise Pascal

1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7

A trifle consoles us, for a trifle distresses us.
Blaise Pascal

All human evil comes from a single cause, man's inability to sit still in a room.
Blaise Pascal

All men's miseries derive from not being able to sit in a quiet room alone.
Blaise Pascal

All of our reasoning ends in surrender to feeling.
Blaise Pascal

As men are not able to fight against death, misery, ignorance, they have taken it into their heads, in order to be happy, not to think of them at all.
Blaise Pascal

Atheism shows strength of mind, but only to a certain degree.
Blaise Pascal

Belief is a wise wager. Granted that faith cannot be proved, what harm will come to you if you gamble on its truth and it proves false? If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists.
Blaise Pascal

Between us and heaven or hell there is only life, which is the frailest thing in the world.
Blaise Pascal

Can anything be stupider than that a man has the right to kill me because he lives on the other side of a river and his ruler has a quarrel with mine, though I have not quarrelled with him?
Blaise Pascal

Chance gives rise to thoughts, and chance removes them; no art can keep or acquire them.
Blaise Pascal

Concupiscence and force are the source of all our actions; concupiscence causes voluntary actions, force involuntary ones.
Blaise Pascal

Continuous eloquence wearies. Grandeur must be abandoned to be appreciated. Continuity in everything is unpleasant. Cold is agreeable, that we may get warm.
Blaise Pascal

Contradiction is not a sign of falsity, nor the lack of contradiction a sign of truth.
Blaise Pascal

Custom is our nature. What are our natural principles but principles of custom?
Blaise Pascal

Desire and force between them are responsible for all our actions; desire causes our voluntary acts, force our involuntary.
Blaise Pascal

Do you wish people to think well of you? Don't speak well of yourself.
Blaise Pascal

Earnestness is enthusiasm tempered by reason.
Blaise Pascal

Eloquence is a painting of the thoughts.
Blaise Pascal

Even those who write against fame wish for the fame of having written well, and those who read their works desire the fame of having read them.
Blaise Pascal

Evil is easy, and has infinite forms.
Blaise Pascal

Ask your child what he wants for dinner only if he's buying.

Calling a taxi in Texas is like calling a rabbi in Iraq.
Fran Lebowitz

Children are the most desirable opponents at scrabble as they are both easy to beat and fun to cheat.

Fran Lebowitz

Humility is no substitute for a good personality.
Fran Lebowitz

I figure you have the same chance of winning the lottery whether you play or not.
Fran Lebowitz

I must take issue with the term 'a mere child,' for it has been my invariable experience that the company of a mere child is infinitely preferable to that of a mere adult.
Fran Lebowitz

I never met anyone who didn't have a very smart child. What happens to these children, you wonder, when they reach adulthood?
Fran Lebowitz

I never took hallucinogenic drugs because I never wanted my consciousness expanded one unnecessary iota.

Rooster Cogburn [VHS]

Rooster Cogburn [VHS]As premises for preteen flicks go, the identity swap went flat way back when, post-Freaky Friday. Throw in a threesome of pinup-worthy actors, a sport that lends itself to rock-song spiked footage, and a sprinkling of old-fashioned rebelliousness, though, and suddenly the bubbles are back. Motocrossed kicks up a gender-bending mess as cheerleader Andrea (Alana Austin) lops off her golden locks to enter a motocross race as her brother, Andrew, who's injured and can't compete. Mom's complicit, but if Dad, who clearly hasn't screened Yentl in a while, finds out, it's yike-a-roo. Complicating matters and upping race-day tummy rumbling is the crush Andi develops on one of her hoodwinked competitors. In the end--guess what--girls rule, but this movie made for Disney TV manages to ride into the sunset without its predictability flattening what's essentially 90 minutes of frothy, wide-eyed fun. --Tammy La Gorce

Jan 28, Quote of the Day 1156

Success
Buy at AllPosters.com

Trying to encourage someone with some brilliant success quotes? These quotes about success will do the job nicely.

Success means different things to different people. To some, success is purely in monetary-term and becoming a millionaire is the number one goal.

Success could also mean achieving fame or title by becoming a singing sensation or CEO of some public-listed company.

To others, success simply means giving one's best shot in whatever one's doing.

To many women, a happy family is a success and that to me personally, means a lot more than fame, power and title.

Whatever success means to you, if you think it's worthwhile, it's worth pursuing.

Get inspired by these success quotes and may you be encouraged by these quotes!

This is to have succeeded!
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson

To succeed in life, we must dream the dream of imaginational achievement.
--Samuel Adinoyi

Vision is not enough; it must be combined with venture. It is not enough to stare up the steps. We must step up the stairs.

You were not born to fail.

Tommy Boy (Holy Schnike Edition)

Tommy Boy (Holy Schnike Edition)The late Chris Farley teams up with his Saturday Night Live pal David Spade for this road comedy about a perpetual screwup, Tommy Callahan Jr. (Farley), who tries to save the auto-parts store owned by his late father (Brian Dennehy). The latter's dry-witted number cruncher (Spade) reluctantly joins the loud, awkward, but well-meaning Tommy in the mission, which is threatened behind the scenes by his dad's widow (Bo Derek). The film is sporadically funny, but as with most movies starring TV comics, some vital energy in the stars seems unnaturally suppressed. Still, the film is worth a visit if you want to turn off your brain awhile. --Tom Keogh

Andre Gide

1 - 2 - 3

A straight path never leads anywhere except to the objective.
Andre Gide

Art begins with resistance - at the point where resistance is overcome. No human masterpiece has ever been created without great labor.
Andre Gide

Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better.
Andre Gide

Art is the collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better.
Andre Gide

Be faithful to that which exists within yourself.
Andre Gide

Believe those who are seeking the truth. Doubt those who find it.
Andre Gide

Complete possession is proved only by giving. All you are unable to give possesses you.
Andre Gide

Everything has been said before, but since nobody listens we have to keep going back and beginning all over again.
Andre Gide

Fish die belly upward, and rise to the surface. Its their way of falling.
Andre Gide

God depends on us. It is through us that God is achieved.
Andre Gide

Great authors are admirable in this respect: in every generation they make for disagreement. Through them we become aware of our differences.
Andre Gide

I owe much to my friends; but, all things considered, it strikes me that I owe even more to my enemies. The real person springs life under a sting even better than under a caress.
Andre Gide

In hell there is no other punishment than to begin over and over again the tasks left unfinished in your lifetime.
Andre Gide

It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for something you are not.
Andre Gide

It is easier to lead men to combat, stirring up their passion, than to restrain them and direct them toward the patient labors of peace.
Andre Gide

It is good to follow one's own bent, so long as it leads upward.
Andre Gide

It is not always by plugging away at a difficulty and sticking to it that one overcomes it; often it is by working on the one next to it. Some things and some people have to be approached obliquely, at an angle.
Andre Gide

It is only in adventure that some people succeed in knowing themselves - in finding themselves.
Andre Gide

It is unthinkable for a Frenchman to arrive at middle age without having syphilis and the Cross of the Legion of Honor.
Andre Gide

Know thyself. A maxim as pernicious as it is ugly. Whoever studies himself arrest his own development. A caterpillar who seeks to know himself would never become a butterfly.
Andre Gide

Jan 24, The Truth - Visitor's Poem


We spend what time we have
only to find in years to come,
what we needed all along
Was ours to have long ago

Time takes its toll
And although we too take our time
We are obliged to eventually find ourselves

After years of pursuing
The paths laid out for us
In a moment of clarity,
We stop, look around, and we are lost

Now I pause and contemplate my life
There is that moment, brief, but incredible,
When I realized the truth?

It was always you.

Jan 24, W.W.Winans's Entitlements - Visitor's Quote

by W.W.Winans
(Minnesota, USA)

Understand this. Entitlements should only be as vast as your investments. If you have invested little or nothing, that is what you are entitled to. The rest is a gift from your neighbors for which you should be grateful; and humbled when receiving. Perspective.

A beautiful woman should break her mirror early.

A man of honour should never forget what he is because he sees what others are.

Baltasar Gracian

Antoine de Saint-Exupery

A chief is a man who assumes responsibility. He says "I was beaten," he does not say "My men were beaten".
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

A civilization is a heritage of beliefs, customs, and knowledge slowly accumulated in the course of centuries, elements difficult at times to justify by logic, but justifying themselves as paths when they lead somewhere, since they open up for man his inner distance.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

A civilization is built on what is required of men, not on that which is provided for them.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

A single event can awaken within us a stranger totally unknown to us. To live is to be slowly born.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

And now here is my secret, a very simple secret; it is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Charity never humiliated him who profited from it, nor ever bound him by the chains of gratitude, since it was not to him but to God that the gift was made.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Each man must look to himself to teach him the meaning of life. It is not something discovered: it is something molded.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

For true love is inexhaustible; the more you give, the more you have. And if you go to draw at the true fountainhead, the more water you draw, the more abundant is its flow.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Grown-ups never understand anything for themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

He who has gone, so we but cherish his memory, abides with us, more potent, nay, more present than the living man.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

How could there be any question of acquiring or possessing, when the one thing needful for a man is to become - to be at last, and to die in the fullness of his being.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

I have no right, by anything I do or say, to demean a human being in his own eyes. What matters is not what I think of him; it is what he thinks of himself. To undermine a man's self-respect is a sin.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

I know but one freedom, and that is the freedom of the mind.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

It is in the compelling zest of high adventure and of victory, and in creative action, that man finds his supreme joys.

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.

Jan 24, My Village - Visitor's Poem

by Yeshi Gemaneh
(Oakland, CA, USA)

Some years back, I wrote a short story book based on my childhood experience and observation of my village. I submitted to publisher and still waiting for its turn. In short it sounds as follows:


My Village

A dense timber the huge farmland
Remained a vision
Wild animals roared like a thunderstorm
The cottages lined up free
Like a civilized Army
In the thatched roofs, smoke stood up
Like pillars
Barbaric flowers cherished all around
Roosters announced the time
Where there was no clock
Boys and girls pitched each other a lemon
As a sign of love
Nature offered them the best
Far away from doing wrong
Neighbors gathered for a cup of coffee
Mom prepared to deliver herself
At a village where there is no doctor
That is what I call home, My Village

Jan 24, The Word LOVE - Visitor's Love Poem

by Sihem Hammouda
(Tunisia)

LOVE, is a four?letter word that makes kings, emperors, dictators kneel on their knees and moan from the dawn of man history till the day of resurrection.

LOVE is a magic spell that turns the most hideous woman into a princess in the eyes of her lover.

LOVE makes out of a fool a poet writing his poems from the silver moonlight.

L.O.V.E: People all over the world spell this word differently saying "I love you" in different tongues, but they all experience the same feeling; being drunk with love.

L: It?s the sacred letter in the word LOVE. It stands for loyalty. Love as any other game in life has rules and to play it you have to stick to the rules or you lose, and one of the rules is to be loyal. You can?t see, but the person you love loyalty also binds you to be there comes what comes, loyalty binds also to protect him or her by your life.

O: The dictator O. It stands for own, I love you and I own you, you?re mine soul and body the day you occupied my heart.

V: The mean V it stands for vicious, I?ll do whatever it takes me to keep you, your love is the fountain of my life and I won?t let you go so I?m going to fight for your love.

E: The eternal e stands for eternity, your love will be eternal.

Muhammed Iqbal

A wrong concept misleads the understanding; a wrong deed degrades the whole man, and may eventually demolish the structure of the human ego.
Muhammed Iqbal

Another way of judging the value of a prophet's religious experience, therefore, would be to examine the type of manhood that he has created, and the cultural world that has sprung out of the spirit of his message.
Muhammed Iqbal

But inner experience is only one source of human knowledge.
Muhammed Iqbal

But the perception of life as an organic unity is a slow achievement, and depends for its growth on a people's entry into the main current of world-events.
Muhammed Iqbal

But the universe, as a collection of finite things, presents itself as a kind of island situated in a pure vacuity to which time, regarded as a series of mutually exclusive moments, is nothing and does nothing.
Muhammed Iqbal

Conduct, which involves a decision of the ultimate fate of the agent cannot be based on illusions.
Muhammed Iqbal

Divine life is in touch with the whole universe on the analogy of the soul's contact with the body.
Muhammed Iqbal

In the first period religious life appears as a form of discipline which the individual or a whole people must accept as an unconditional command without any rational understanding of the ultimate meaning and purpose of that command.
Muhammed Iqbal

Inductive reason, which alone makes man master of his environment, is an achievement; and when once born it must be reinforced by inhibiting the growth of other modes of knowledge.
Muhammed Iqbal

It is true that we are made of dust. And the world is also made of dust. But the dust has motes rising.
Muhammed Iqbal

It may, however, be said that the level of experience to which concepts are inapplicable cannot yield any knowledge of a universal character, for concepts alone are capable of being socialized.
Muhammed Iqbal

Man is primarily governed by passion and instinct.
Muhammed Iqbal

Sexual self-restraint is only a preliminary stage in the ego's evolution.
Muhammed Iqbal

That is why, according to this newer psychology, Christianity has already fulfilled its biological mission, and it is impossible for the modern man to understand its original significance.
Muhammed Iqbal

The possibility of a scientific treatment of history means a wider experience, a greater maturity of practical reason, and finally a fuller realization of certain basic ideas regarding the nature of life and time.
Muhammed Iqbal

The soul is neither inside nor outside the body; neither proximate to nor separate from it.
Muhammed Iqbal

The standpoint of the man who relies on religious experience for capturing Reality must always remain individual and incommunicable.
Muhammed Iqbal

The thought of a limit to perceptual space and time staggers the mind.
Muhammed Iqbal

The truth is that the religious and the scientific processes, though involving different methods, are identical in their final aim. Both aim at reaching the most real.
Muhammed Iqbal

The ultimate aim of the ego is not to see something, but to be something.

Alexander Smith

If you do your fair day's work, you are certain to get your fair day's wage - in praise or pudding, whichever happens to suit your taste.

If you wish to make a man look noble, your best course is to kill him. What superiority he may have inherited from his race, what superiority nature may have personally gifted him with, comes out in death.

If you wish to preserve your secret, wrap it up in frankness.
Alexander Smith

In life there is nothing more unexpected and surprising than the arrivals and departures of pleasure. If we find it in one place to-day, it is vain to seek it there to-morrow. You can not lay a trap for it.

Love is but the discovery of ourselves in others, and the delight in the recognition.

Jan 24, Thank You - Visitor's Poem

by Theresa Rafuse
(Nova Scotia, Canada)

Thank you is such a small thing to say when someone's kindness has made your day.

When it feels like life has torn you down...some gentle words can bring you around.

Life isn't easy, it's lessons learned. Sometimes you prevail, sometimes you're burned.

It's how you take it on the cuff, that shows you, yes...you're strong enough.

Marcus Aurelius

1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5

A man should be upright, not be kept upright.
Marcus Aurelius

A man's worth is no greater than his ambitions.
Marcus Aurelius

A noble man compares and estimates himself by an idea which is higher than himself; and a mean man, by one lower than himself. The one produces aspiration; the other ambition, which is the way in which a vulgar man aspires.
Marcus Aurelius

Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart.
Marcus Aurelius

Adapt yourself to the things among which your lot has been cast and love sincerely the fellow creatures with whom destiny has ordained that you shall live.
Marcus Aurelius

And thou wilt give thyself relief, if thou doest every act of thy life as if it were the last.
Marcus Aurelius

Anger cannot be dishonest.
Marcus Aurelius

Anything in any way beautiful derives its beauty from itself and asks nothing beyond itself. Praise is no part of it, for nothing is made worse or better by praise.
Marcus Aurelius

Aptitude found in the understanding and is often inherited. Genius coming from reason and imagination, rarely.
Marcus Aurelius

As the same fire assumes different shapes When it consumes objects differing in shape, So does the one Self take the shape Of every creature in whom he is present.
Marcus Aurelius

Be content to seem what you really are.
Marcus Aurelius

Be content with what you are, and wish not change; nor dread your last day, nor long for it.
Marcus Aurelius

Because a thing seems difficult for you, do not think it impossible for anyone to accomplish.
Marcus Aurelius

Because your own strength is unequal to the task, do not assume that it is beyond the powers of man; but if anything is within the powers and province of man, believe that it is within your own compass also.
Marcus Aurelius

Begin - to begin is half the work, let half still remain; again begin this, and thou wilt have finished.
Marcus Aurelius

Confine yourself to the present.
Marcus Aurelius

Death is a release from the impressions of the senses, and from desires that make us their puppets, and from the vagaries of the mind, and from the hard service of the flesh.
Marcus Aurelius

Death, like birth, is a secret of Nature.
Marcus Aurelius

Despise not death, but welcome it, for nature wills it like all else.

Dig within. Within is the wellspring of Good; and it is always ready to bubble up, if you just dig.

Jan 17, Transfigure Me to Child - Visitor's Poem

by Shisir Pokahrel
(Kathmandu, Nepal)

I want to be a child
Who don't care a cent for life
And try to dare all the fear of the life
I want to think like a child
I want to act like a child
Whose life is fine! Fine as wine?

You may give them your love but not your thoughts.
For them they have their own thoughts.
They are like the arrow which is released from the bow
And don?t know where to go.
That unhappy childhood's terror
So easy to repair.
They had freedom to run, fall, and climb big trees
Soaking wet socks, over their knees.
Those moments were like heaven on earth.
Where nothing is expensive, at no cost.

When I was little
I knew nothing of the world,
I dreamed of butterflies and birds
Now I am grown up.
I feel like autumn after the spring.
I feel like scarecrow who is tired of standing in his lonely field.
I measure every grief I meet
With questioning eyes;
I wonder if it weighs like mine,
Or has an easier size.
I pray to the god for transfiguring me back.
Giving back my childhood
Where I used live for my own good.

Jan 17, Desire - Visitor's Poem

by Micah Danielle Hetrick
(South Bend, IN, USA)


There are places you have yet gone,
Feelings yet to let go,
Release yourself and feel those unknown desires,
You live by lessons learned,
What's life without the
Journey of love.
Letting go of the past hurt to feel again
is the first step to finding yourself.
Desire the dream that was once
said to be the impossible.
And you will find the one worth searching for.
Your North Star who is always constant.

Denis Waitley

1 - 2 - 3 - 4

A dream is your creative vision for your life in the future. You must break out of your current comfort zone and become comfortable with the unfamiliar and the unknown.
Denis Waitley

A life lived with integrity - even if it lacks the trappings of fame and fortune is a shinning star in whose light others may follow in the years to come.
Denis Waitley

A smile is the light in your window that tells others that there is a caring, sharing person inside.
Denis Waitley

As long as we are persistence in our pursuit of our deepest destiny, we will continue to grow. We cannot choose the day or time when we will fully bloom. It happens in its own time.
Denis Waitley

Change the changeable, accept the unchangeable, and remove yourself from the unacceptable.
Denis Waitley

Chase your passion, not your pension.
Denis Waitley

Courage means to keep working a relationship, to continue seeking solutions to difficult problems, and to stay focused during stressful periods.
Denis Waitley

Determination gives you the resolve to keep going in spite of the roadblocks that lay before you.
Denis Waitley

Don't be a time manager, be a priority manager. Cut your major goals into bite-sized pieces. Each small priority or requirement on the way to ultimate goal become a mini goal in itself.
Denis Waitley

Don't dwell on what went wrong. Instead, focus on what to do next. Spend your energies on moving forward toward finding the answer.

Don't ever let economic alone determine your career or how you spend the majority of your time.

Everything is something you decide to do, and there is nothing you have to do.

Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.
Denis Waitley

Forget about the consequences of failure. Failure is only a temporary change in direction to set you straight for your next success.
Denis Waitley

Get excited and enthusiastic about you own dream. This excitement is like a forest fire - you can smell it, taste it, and see it from a mile away.
Denis Waitley

Goals provide the energy source that powers our lives. One of the best ways we can get the most from the energy we have is to focus it. That is what goals can do for us; concentrate our energy.
Denis Waitley

Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.
Denis Waitley

I had the blues because I had no shoes until upon the street, I met a man who had no feet.
Denis Waitley

If you believe you can, you probably can. If you believe you won't, you most assuredly won't. Belief is the ignition switch that gets you off the launching pad.
