Quotation of the Day

[ايناس حمدي]

The light of memory, or rather the light that memory lends to things, is the palest light of all. I am not quite sure whether I am dreaming or remembering, whether I have lived my life or dreamed it. Just as dreams do, memory makes me profoundly aware of the unreality, the evanescence of the world, a fleeting image in the moving water.

Eugene Ionesco

[ايناس حمدي]

How many languages are there in the world? How about 5 billion! Each of us talks, listens, and thinks in his/her own special language that has been shaped by our culture, experiences, profession, personality, mores and attitudes. The chances of us meeting someone else who talks the exact same language is pretty remote.

[ايناس حمدي]

Everything can change, but not the language that we carry inside us, like a world more exclusive and final than one's mother's womb.

Italo Calvino

[ايناس حمدي]

The limits of my language are the limits of my mind. All I know is what I have words for.

Ludwig Wittgenstein

[ايناس حمدي]

Dictionaries are like watches; the worst is better than none, and the best can not be expected to be quite true.

Samuel Johnson

[Eman Ibrahim]

The quality of mercy is not strain'd
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes

William Shakespeare

[Eman Ibrahim]

The just is close to the people's heart, but the merciful is close to the heart of God

A word is dead
When it is said

That day

The way to get on as a lady is the same as the way to get on as a servant: you've got to know your place: thats the secret of it

[ايناس حمدي]

Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.

Lao-Tzu

[ايناس حمدي]

Our life is what our thoughts make it. A man will find that as he alters his thoughts toward things and other people, things and other people will alter towards him.

James Allen

[ايناس حمدي]

For true success ask yourself these four questions: Why? Why not? Why not me? Why not now?

James Allen

[ايناس حمدي]

A man should conceive of a legitimate purpose in his heart, and set out to accomplish it. He should make this purpose the centralizing point of his thoughts. It may take the form of a spiritual ideal, or it may be a worldly object, according to his nature at the time being; but whichever it is, he should steadily focus his thought forces upon the object which he has set before him. He should make this purpose his supreme duty, and should devote himself to its attainment, not allowing his thoughts to wander away into ephemeral fancies, longings, and imaginings. This is the royal road to self-control and true concentration of thought. Even if he fails again and again to accomplish his purpose (as he necessarily must until weakness is overcome), the strength of character gained will be the measure of his true success, and this will form a new starting point for future power and triumph.

James Allen
