*Being NICE is just like being a GOAL KEEPER. No matter how many goals you save BUT people will remember ONLY THE ONE that you MISSED OUT! That's life...

* It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power. ~~~ Alan Coren

* You cannot discover new oceans unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore. ~~~ Unknown

* Don't give up on God when the enemy (satan) is about to give up on you. ~~~ Samuel Butler

* The scars you acquire while exercising courage will never make you feel inferior. ~~~ O.A. Battista

* He who does not have the courage to speak up for his rights cannot earn the respect of others. ~~~ René G. Torres

You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself one. --- Henry David Thoreau

Be your character what it will, it will be known, and nobody will take it upon your word. --- Lord Chesterfield

Reputation is what men and women think of us; character is what God and angels know of us. --- Thomas Paine

It requires less character to discover the faults of others, than to tolerate them. --- J. Petit Senn

A good name will shine forever. --- Proverb

A fair reputation is a plant, delicate in its nature, and by no means rapid in its growth. It will not shoot up in a night like the gourd of the prophet; but, like that gourd, it may perish in a night. --- Jeremy Taylor

Sow an act, and you reap a habit; sow a habit, and you reap a character; sow a character, and you reap a destiny. --- George Dana Boardman

Talents are best nurtured in solitude. Character is best formed in the stormy billows of the world. --- Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Our character is but the stamp on our souls of the free choices of good and evil we have made through life. --- John C. Geikie

Reputation is for time; character is for eternity. --- J. B. Gough

Character is a diamond that scratches every other stone. --- Cyrus A. Bartol

Nature magically suits a man to his fortunes, by making them the fruit of his character. --- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Talents are best nurtured in solitude, but character is best formed in the stormy billows of the world. --- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Men best show their character in trifles, where they are not on their guard. It is in the simplest habits, that we often see the boundless egotism which pays no regard to the feelings of others and denies nothing to itself. --- Arthur Schopenhauer

Every man, as to character, is the creature of the age in which he lives. Very few are able to raise themselves above the ideas of their times. --- Voltaire

Character and personal force are the only investments that are worth anything. --- Walt Whitman

Character is, for the most part, simply habit become fixed. --- C. H. Parkhurst

Actions, looks, words and steps form the alphabet by which you may spell character. --- Johann Kasper Lavater

Let us not say, Every man is the architect of his own fortune; but let us say, Every man is the architect of his own character. ---- George Dana Boardman

Character is higher than intellect. A great soul will be strong to live, as well as strong to think. --- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Such as are thy habitual thoughts, such also will be the character of thy mind; for the soul is dyed by the thoughts. --- Marcus Aurelius

* Where there is hope there is belief, where there is belief there is ALLAH and where there is ALLAH everything is possible.

* The four most difficult tasks on the earth are neither physical nor intellactual acts; rather are spiritual ones:

1. To LOVE in return for HATE
2. To INCLUDE the EXCLUDED
3. To FORGIVE without APOLOGY
4. To BE ABLE to say I WAS WRONG.

* If you once forfeit the confidence of your fellow citizens, you can never regain their respect and esteem. It is true that you may fool all of the people some of the time; you can even fool some of the people all of the time; but you can't fool all of the people all of the time. --- Abraham Lincoln

* A man who doesn't trust himself can never really trust anyone else. --- Cardinal De Retz

* Self-trust is the first secret of success. --- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Truly in the heart there is a sadness that can not be removed except with the happiness of knowing Allah and being true to Him. And in it there is an emptiness that can not be filled except with love for Him and by turning to him and always remembering Him. And if a person were given the entire world and what is in it, it would not fill this emptiness. ---Ibn AlQayyim

Working Towards Success Will Make You A Master But Working Towards Satisfaction Make You A Legend.

پانی جتنا بھی ابلے چنگاڑی نہیں بنتا - بے شک مومن جتنا بھی غیض و غضب میں ہو شر نہیں بنتا بلکہ غیض و غضب کی حالت میں بھی ۔۔ وہ شر کی آگ بھجاتا ہے ۔۔لگاتا نہیں۔۔۔
