Understand the nail before nailing it down

When all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

Food, not just for thought :)

If you can get nothing better out of the world, get a good dinner out of it, at least.
Herman Melville(1819-1891)

Get real

Man is not worried by real problems so much as by his imagined anxieties about real problems.

Profound

Hesitating to act because the whole vision might not be achieved, or because others do not yet share it, is an attitude that only hinders progress.

Happiness

A calm and modest life brings more happiness than the pursuit of success combined with constant restlessness.
- Albert Einstein scribbled in a note

focal length

Everyone sees life through his/her own focal length...everybody carries their own set of lenses (wide angle, zoom, macro, fish eye, tele-photo).
- Hari Subramaniam

Just tryin to leave something behind

To my son,
the first song on my quotes blog as far as my memory goes

"When my son is a man he will know what I meant"

You don't need a silver fork to eat good food.
- Paul Prudhomme

Love of duty makes sense

Love is a better teacher than a sense of duty.

Change

Following quote from Federer helps prove that Change is the only constant.
Lets assume that there is a constant different from change. It there exists such constant, it will start moving backwards which implies change. Hence proved that change is the only constant :D

Staying the same means going backwards.

Perfect Quote

The perfect marriage is just two imperfect people who refuse to give up on each other

Cycle of Life

Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.
- Albert Einstein

Turn off the darkness

The reality is that bad things happen when the lights have been turned off. That's what the bad guys want; You have to have the lights on, and show what this really is, and show that these are human beings and not names and statistics. They are living and surviving and caring for one another.

End, the beginning

Every story has an end but in life every ending is a new beginning.

You don't give her respect. You give her whatever she asks for so you don't have to deal wit her. She's eight years old. She is not twenty-eight.

- From the movie "Uptown Girls"

Commodity

The people yes
The people will live on.
The learning and blundering people will live on.
They will be tricked and sold and again sold
And go back to the nourishing earth for rootholds,
The people so peculiar in renewal and comeback,
You can't laugh off their capacity to take it.

- Carl Sagan
