Thoughts 20MAY2011

Each generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it - George Orwell (1903-1950)
He who knows nothing, doubts nothing - Italian proverb
I dislike arguments of any kind. They are always vulgar, and often convincing - Oscar Wilde (1856-1900)

THE WISE WAY - Parodoxical Commandments

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centred; Forgive them anyway
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and true enemies; Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone may destroy overnight; Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, others may be jealous; Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people may often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is all between you and GOD; It was never between you and them anyway.
