God, thirst and whip

Vous pouvez croire en Dieu de deux façons, ou comme la
soif croit à l'orange, ou comme l'âne croit au fouet.

You can believe in God in two ways, like thirst thinks about
an orange, or like the donkey thinks about the whip.

--Victor Hugo

Une mer calme n'a jamais fait un bon marin.
A calm sea does not make a skilled sailor.

Cricket and Philosophy

Experience is like a comb that life gives you when you are bald.

One, who doesn't throw the dice, can never expect to score a six.

Anybody can pilot a ship when the sea is calm.

Nobody travels on the road to success without a puncture or two.

You got to choose between tightening your belt or losing your pants.

Age has been perfect fire extinguisher for flaming youth.

Wickets are like wives - you never know which way they will turn!

Deep Dasgupta is not a Wicket Keeper, he is a goalkeeper. He must be given a free transfer to Manchester United.

The third umpires should be changed as often as nappies and for the same reason.

Colours of Life

Happiness keeps you Sweet,
Trials keep you Strong,
Sorrow keeps you Human,
Failure keeps you Humble,
Success keeps you Glowing...
But only God keeps you going.

Learning

Every act of conscious learning requires the willingness to suffer an injury to one's self-esteem. That is why young children, before they are aware of their own self-importance, learn so easily; and why older persons,especially if vain or important, cannot learn at all.

-Thomas Szasz, author, professor of psychiatry (1920- )
