The fish trap exists because of the fish. Once you've gotten the fish you can forget the trap. The rabbit snare exists because of the rabbit. Once you've gotten the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words exist because of meaning. Once you've gotten the meaning, you can forget the words. Where can I find a man who has forgotten words so I can talk with him? ~Chuang Tzu

A soldier will fight long and hard for a bit of colored ribbon.
Napoleon Bonaparte

If a man is called a streetsweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and Earth will pause to say, Here lived a great streetsweeper who did his job well. ~Martin Luther King, Jr.

One has to learn how to die if one wants to know how to live !

Only when love flows with freedom its freshness is felt , and when it flows with dependence there is ugliness . Freedom has higher value than love as per thoughtful minds and anything that becomes destructive to it - one starts hating it .

Define irony ! People busy in throwing quotations and ideas that actually never changed their lives !

Your worm is your only emperor for diet.
We fat all creatures else to fat us,
and we fat ourselves for maggots.
Your fat king and your lean beggar
is but variable service—two dishes,
but to one table. That’s the end.
(The Bard-Hamlet)

Have more than thou showest,
Speak less than thou knowest,
Lend less than thou owest,
Ride more than thou goest,

Ignorance like knowledge shows through.

Never judge a book by its cover and a lady by her lover.
