Wise Sayings And Heart-Touching Life Lesson Quotes
501. Praise And Censure:
Of what avail is the praise or censure of the vulgar, who make a
useless noise like a senseless crow in a forest?
_Mahābhārata._
502. Contrasts In Life, Life:
Hark! here the sound of lute so sweet,
And there the voice of wailing loud;
Here scholars grave in conclave meet,
There howls the brawling drunken crowd;
Here, charming maidens full of glee,
There, tottering, withered dames we see.
Such light! Such shade! I cannot tell,
If here we live in heaven or hell.
_Bhartrihari._
503. Daily Cares And Duties:
The everyday cares and duties which men call drudgery are the
weights and counterpoises of the clock of Time, giving its pendulum
a true vibration, and its hands a regular motion; and when they
cease to hang upon the wheels, the pendulum no longer sways, the hands no longer move, and the clock stands still.
_Longfellow._
504. Learning:
A man of little learning deems that little a great deal; a frog, never having seen the ocean, considers it's well a great sea.
_Burmese._
505. Secrets:
Trust not thy secret to a confidant, for he too will have his
associates and friends; and it will spread abroad through the whole city, and men will call thee weak-headed.
_Firdausī._
506. Labour:
Labor like a man, and be ready in doing kindnesses. He is a
good-for-nothing fellow who eateth by the toil of another’s hand.
_Sa’dī._[28]
[28] See also 429, 453.
507. Sweep Your Own Doorstep:
Let every man sweep the snow from before his own doors, and not busy himself with the frost on his neighbor’s tiles.
_Chinese._
508. Knowledge:
With knowledge, say, what other wealth
Can vie, which neither thieves by stealth
Can take, nor kinsmen make their prey,
Which, lavished, never wastes away.
_Sanskrit_
509. Woman:
Women’s wealth is beauty, learning, that of men.
_Burmese._
510. Exertion:
Prosperity attends the lion-hearted man who exerts himself, while we
say, destiny will ensure it. Laying aside destiny, showmanly
fortitude by thy own strength: if thou endeavor, and thy endeavors
fail of success, what crime is there in failing?
_Hitopadesa._
511. Expenditures:
Spare not, nor spend too much, be this thy care,
Spare but to spend, and only spend to spare.
Who spends too much may want, and so complain;
But he spends best that spares to spend again.
_Randolph._
512. Nature Praises Creator:
Everything that is acknowledges the blessing of existence. Shalt, not
thou, by a similar acknowledgment, be happy? If thou pay due
attention to sounds, thou shalt hear the praise of the Creator
celebrated by the whole creation.
_Nakhshabī._
513. Attributes Of Hands, Heads And etc.
The attribute most noble of the hand
Is readiness in giving; of the head,
Bending before a teacher; of the mouth,
Veracious speaking; of a victor’s arms,
Undaunted valor; of the inner heart,
Pureness the most unsullied; of the ears,
Delight in hearing and receiving truth—These
are adornments of high-minded men,
Better than all the majesty of Empire.
_Bhartrihari._
514. Fancy, The Charm Of:
The mere reality of life would be inconceivably poor without the charm of fancy, which brings in its bosom as many vain fears as idle hopes, but lends much oftener to the illusions it calls up a gay flattering hue than one which inspires terror.
_Von Humboldt._
515. Stupidity:
Stupidity has its sublime as well as genius, and he who carries that quality to absurdity has reached it, which is always a source of pleasure to sensible people.
_Wieland._
516. Thought:
It is curious to note the old sea margins of human thought. Each subsiding century reveals some new mystery; we build where monsters used to hide themselves.
_Longfellow._
517. Woman:
Women never reason and therefore they are, comparatively, seldom wrong. They judge instinctively what falls under their immediate observation or experience, and do not trouble themselves about remote or doubtful consequences. If they make no profound discoveries, they do not involve themselves in gross absurdities. It is only by the help of reason and logical inference, according to Hobbes, that “man becomes excellently wise or excellently foolish.”
_Hazlitt._
518. Angry Man:
Reprove not in their wrath incensèd men,
Good counsel comes clean out of season then;
But when his fury is appeased and past,
He will conceive his fault and mend at last:
When he is cool and calm, then utter it;
No man gives physic in the midst o’ th’ fit
_Randolph._
519. Fathers And Sons:
It is not flesh and blood, it is the heart, that makes fathers and
sons.
_Schiller._
520. Discontent:
Discontent is like ink poured into water, which fills the whole fountain full of blackness. It casts a cloud over the mind and renders it more occupied with the evil which disquiets it than about the means of removing it.
_Feltham._
521. Derision Of Superiority:
We are accustomed to seeing men deride what they do not understand and snarl at the good and beautiful because it lies beyond their sympathies.
_Goethe._
522. Modesty:
A just and reasonable modesty does not only recommend eloquence, but
sets off every talent which a man can be possessed of. It heightens
all the virtues which it accompanies; like the shades of paintings,
it raises and rounds every figure, and makes the colors more
beautiful, though not so glowing as they would be without it.
_Addison._
523. Home:
Happy the man who lives at home, making it his business to regulate
his desires.
_La Fontaine._
524. Self-Judging:
It is true that men are no fit judges of themselves because commonly they are partial to their own cause; yet it is as true that he who will dispose himself to judge indifferently of himself can do it better than anybody else because a man can see farther into his own mind and heart than any one else can.
_Harrington._
525. Envy:
Envy is a vice that would pose a man to tell what it should be liked
for. Other vices we assume for that we falsely suppose they bring us
either pleasure, profit, or honor. But in envy who is it can find
any of these? Instead of pleasure, we vex and gall ourselves. Like
cankered brass, it only eats itself, nay, discolors and renders it
noisome. When someone told Agis that those of his neighbor’s
family did envy him, “Why, then,” says he, “they have a double
vexation—one, with their own evil, the other, at my prosperity.”
_Feltham._
526. Taciturnity:
The most silent people are generally those who think most highly of themselves. They fancy themselves superior to everyone else, and, not being sure of making good their secret pretensions, decline to enter the lists altogether. Thus they “lay the flattering unction to their souls” that they could have said better things than others, or that the conversation was beneath them.
_Hazlitt._
527. Superiority:
It is commonly a dangerous thing for a man to have more sense than his neighbors. Socrates paid for his superiority with his life; and if Aristotle saved his skin, accused as he was of heresy by the chief priest Eurymedon, it was because he took to his heels in time.
_Wieland._
528. Flattery:
Flattery may be considered as a mode of companionship, degrading but
profitable to him who flatters.
_Theophrastus._
529. Gifts, Presents:
Rich presents, though profusely given, Are not so dear to righteous
Heaven As gifts by honest gains supplied, Though small, which faith
hath sanctified.
_Mahābhārata._
530. Importance Of Time:
Today is thine to spend, but not tomorrow;
Counting on morrows breedeth bankrupt sorrow:
O squander not this breath that Heaven hath lent thee;
Make not too sure another breath to borrow.
_Omar Khayyām._
