"If you have only two pennies left in the world, with the first penny, you should buy rice to feed your family. With the second penny, say the wise Japanese, you should buy a lily. The Japanese understand the importance of dreaming..." http://www.weyrd.org/lilies.html

"For in the end it is Middle-Earth and its dwellers that we love, not Tolkien's considerable gifts in showing it to us. I said once that the world he charts was there long before him, and I still believe it. He is a great enough magician to tap our most common nightmares, daydreams and twilight fancies, but he never invented them either: he found them a place to live, a green alternative to each day's madness here in a poisoned world. We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."

Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now. According to: http://www.goethesociety.org/pages/quotescom.html "the lines are attributed to John Anster in a 'very free translation' of Faust from 1835" See author: W. H. Murray

I wept in my dreams. I dreamed you lay in the grave;I awoke, and the tearsstill poured down my cheeks.I wept in my dreams,I dreamed you had left me;I awoke and I went on weeping long and bitterly.I wept in my dreams,I dreamed you were still kind to me;I awoke, and stillthe flow of my tears streams on.

All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible.

“We must nurture our dreams like we would a child. They are God-given and just as precious. Without ambition how would a child learn to ride a bicycle, play an instrument or whistle? We deny the spirit of God when we as adults settle for less than our dreams!”

“Dreaming is not an accident. It is not a wistful idea you hope will come true. Dreaming is not the stuff of long-haired hippies wistfully running along a beach. No! Dreaming is a sophisticated tool used by the elite of our society to make themselves and this world a better place. People like Millard Fuller, founder of Habitat for Humanity, Warren Buffet, Col. Sanders and Walt Disney all started with a dream. The dreams started small, but like the trickle of water that eventually formed the great Grand Canyon, DREAMS ARE POWERFUL!”

We bless and curse ourselves. Some dreams are divine, as well as some waking thoughts. Donne sings of one "Who dreamt devoutlier than most use to pray." Dreams are the touchstones of our characters. We are scarcely less afflicted when we remember some unworthiness in our conduct in a dream, than if it had been actual, and the intensity of our grief, which is our atonement, measures inversely the degree by which this is separated from an actual unworthiness. For in dreams we but act a part which must have been learned and rehearsed in our waking hours, and no doubt could discover some waking consent thereto. If this meanness has not its foundation in us, why are we grieved at it? In dreams we see ourselves naked and acting out our real characters, even more clearly than we see others awake. But an unwavering and commanding virtue would compel even its most fantastic and faintest dreams to respect its ever wakeful authority; as we are accustomed to say carelessly, we should never have dreamed of such a thing. Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake. http://national-library.elecbook.net/830.html

-John Updike

For my own part, I declare I know nothing whatever about it. But to look at the stars always makes me dream, as simply as I dream over the black dots of a map representing towns and villages. Why, I ask myself, should the shining dots of the sky not be as accessible as the black dots on the map of France? If we take the train to get to Tarascon or Rouen, we take death to reach a star. One thing undoubtedly true in this reasoning is this: that while we are alive we cannot get to a star, any more than when we are dead we can take the train.

It is because of Gandhiji that the world knows us as we are today...
our image of a peace loving secular nation is largely thanks to his overpowering global legacy, otherwise with riots, kashmir, the maoists, naxalites and various regular civil wars happening across every corner of the country, do you think the world's biggest hypocrisy, the US govt, would have wanted to tie up with us for a nuclear programme? the world knows us as a patient and tolerant race... something that allures people and brings them to us...please subsititue a modern definition given today's circumstances, and you won't come up with better ones... you're free to hate gandhi... all i ask is, don't misunderstand him... that's wasting hate due to ignorance. as gandhi would say... channelise you hate... make it productive and sustainable.

"Khoon Se Khelenge Holi
Gar Watan Mushkil Mein Hain..."

-So I believe is the true sense of Patriotism! A blow on the nation is a blow on the self; and self esteem is the most important thing to be upheld by anyone living- the only alternative being Death!

Not to resist the influx of cancer in the cells of the body; but to ask one to live in harmony with it- is RIDICULOUS!

NON VOILENCE is to refrain the use of force against a tranquil front; and not to refrain from Self Defence against a dark force hurting the self.

Indians were herded to believe submission to the wrong was virtue!

Indians were decieved to accept- to sacrifice was virtue- but sacrifice for whose sake, for whose good, to what end- were never mentioned!

Truth is an Absolute, a Fact, a Declaration- and no experiments are possible with it. Yet "His Experiments With Truth" led to a wrong "Discovery Of (modern) India".

If he actually deserves being called the Father of the Nation- He has BETRAYED his Parental Duties...
