REFLECTIONS

These thought-provoking comments of various personalities were sent by a dear friend a long time ago. Kept them long in my Inbox. Now I want to share them with you in Philkans Blog.

" REFLECTIONS "

“I made an agreement of peaceful co-existence with Time; neither he pursues me, nor I ran from him, one day we will find each other”. ( Mario Lago )

“Never walk on the travelled path, because it only leads you where the others have been”. (Graham Bell)

“Always there is a drop of madness in love, yet always there is a drop of reason in madness.” (F. Nietzshe)

“Time is very slow for those who wait, very fast for those who are scared, very long for those who lament, very short for those who celebrate. But for those who love, time is eternity." ( William Shakespeare)

“Many people lose the small joys, in hope for a big happiness.”
(Pearl S. Buck)

“Life can be understood only looking behind, but can be lived only looking ahead.” (Soren Kierkegaard)

“Why repeat the old errors, if there are so many new errors to commit.” (Bertrand Russell)

“If I could return to youth, I would commit those errors again, but a bit earlier” (Tallulah Bankhead)

“Nothing could be taught to a man; but its possible to help him find the answer within himself.” (Galileo Galilei)

“There are people who speak to us and we do not listen to them; there are people who hurt us and they don’t leave a scar; but there are people who simply appear in our lives and they mark us forever” (Cecilia Meireles)

The true philosophy is to learn again to see the world” ( Merleau-Ponty)

“Love is the best music in the score of life. Without it, one would forever be out of tune in the immense choir of humanity.” (Roque Schneider)

“Love me when I less deserves it, because it’s then when I need it most.” (Chinese Proverb)


“ASK NOT WHAT YOUR COUNTRY CAN DO FOR YOU, BUT ASK WHAT REGULAR BLOGGING CAN DO FOR YOUR CONTINUED MENTAL HEALTH.” (Andy from Sumaila)


ADDENDUM :

In the heart of a Philkan, buried deep, so deep,
A dear little yearning, lay fast asleep;
"Wake," said Philkans Blog, "And creep to the light."
"Wake," said the voice, of the Master Tim Hop.
The little Philkan heard, and he rises to see,
What the wonderful World Wide Web
Of blogging in the “Net” might be !!!
