“Those who do not serve the True Guru waste away their lives in vain. O Nanak, the Lord does just as He pleases. No one has any say in this.”
Sri Guru Granth Sahib
“Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
Steve Jobs
“People say they love truth, but in reality they want to believe that which they love is true.”
Robert J. Ringer
“How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live.”
Henry David Thoreau
“Sweet is true love that is given in vain, and sweet is death that takes away pain.”
Alfred Lord Tennyson
“Do not anxiously hope for that which is not yet come; do not vainly regret what is already past”
Chinese Proverbs
“Every writer is a narcissist. This does not mean that he is vain; it only means that he is hopelessly self-absorbed.”
Leo Rosten
