He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven - By W.B. Yeats

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:

These three lines are brilliant, simply brilliant, especially the last one.

But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly, because you tread on my dreams.

~ William Butler Yeats

For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it.

Kabhi Kabhi Yu Bhi Hamne Apne Dil Ko Behlaaya Hai
Jin Baaton Ko Khud Na Samjhe, Auron Ko Samjhaya Hai


Apni To Yeh Aadat Hai
Chup Rehte Hai, Ya Sach Kehte Hai
Shaayad Isi Liye Duniyawaale
Hamse Hamesha Khafa Rehte Hai

Dare Mighty Things

"In the battle of life, it is not the critic who counts;
nor the one who points out how the strong person stumbled,
or where the doer of a deed could have done better.

The credit belongs to the person who is actually in the arena;
whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood,
who strives valiantly;
who errs and comes short again and again,
because there is no effort without error and shortcoming;
who does actually strive to do deeds;
who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotion,
spends oneself in a worthy cause;
who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement;
and who at worst, if he or she fails, at least fails while daring greatly.


When the going gets tough!
The tough gets going!


A good leader always leads from the front by example.

Actions always speak louder than words!

"Far better it is to dare mighty things,
to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure,
than to rank with those timid spirits who neither enjoy
nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat."

~ Theodore Roosevelt

but no matter where we go,
we take a little of each other everywhere.

Reason

There is Reason
For every pain that we must bear,
For every burden, every care
There is a reason.

For every grief that crushes our heart,
For every scalding tear we shed,
There is a reason.

For every hurt, for every plight,
For every lonely, painful night,
There is a reason.

Yet, if we trust God, as we all must,
It all can turn to be for our good,
HE knows the Reason.

- Chinmaya

Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow.
