QUOTES AND THOUGHTS

Over the last few months, we have found quotes and tales that have been really interesting. We understand that we should have tried to mention their authors, but much to our regret and although we tried to find them, we didn’t get to know some of them. In spite of that, we think it is worth to know the quotes.

‘Nothing in the world is ever completely wrong. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day’.   Paulo Coelho

‘Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.’ John Lennon.

An optimist goes to the window every morning and says, ‘Good morning, God’. The pessimist goes to the window and says, ‘Good god, morning!’

‘From listening comes wisdom and from speaking, repentance’

‘I’d give all what I know in exchange for what I don’t know’. Víctor Hugo.

‘Who does not understand a look, cannot understand long explanations’

‘Patience is a tree with bitter roots that bears sweet fruits’

The wise man may sit on an ant’s nest but only the foolish keeps sitting on it -

‘The world turns aside to let any man pass who knows where he is going.’

‘I never forget a face, but in your case I'll be glad to make an exception’. Groucho Marx.

Socrates asked his disciples: ‘Why should I resent it when an ass kicks me?’

‘It’s good to be important but it’s more important to be good’

Two young lovers ask the chief of the tribe for advice to keep together forever and ever. The chief asks the woman to bring a falcon and the man an eagle to the hamlet.

When they come back with the animals, the chief ties the two animals’ legs together and releases them. The birds try to fly away and as they cannot do it because they are tied up together, they start to attack each other. Turning back to the lovers, the chief of the tribe says: ‘never forget what you are watching’, ‘fly together but not tied up’, ‘release the one you love and let him fly with his own wings’, ‘respect the right of others to fly heading towards their dreams’.’WE NEED TO BE FREE TO LOVE’.

We thought it would be good to include these quotes and stories here because we can learn a lot from them.
