REFLECTION

[Pravin Kumar]

REFLECTION

"When death, the great reconciler, has come, it is never our tenderness that we repent of, but our severity." -- T.S. Eliot

"We should every night call ourselves to an account: What infirmity have I mastered today? What passions opposed! What temptation resisted? What virtue acquired?" -- Marcus Annaeus Seneca

"Look at your past. Your past has determined where you are at this moment. What you do today will determine where you are tomorrow. Are you moving forward or standing still?" -- Tom Hopkins

"We should learn, by reflection on the misfortunes of others, that there is nothing singular in those which befall ourselves." -- Thomas Fitzosborne


KINDNESS

It is by little acts of watchful kindness recurring daily and hourly, by words, tones, gestures, looks, that affection is won and preserved.

George A. Sala


If you were arrested for being kind, would there be enough evidence to convict you?

Listen to your life. All moments are key moments.

People travel to wonder at the height of the mountains, at the huge waves of the seas, at the long course of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars, and yet they pass by themselves without wondering.
St. Augustine
