Words of Wisdom | Proverbs | Mind Chow


In this world everything perishes & will perish. But ideas, ideals and dreams do not

Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured

Do not follow where the path may lead go instead where there is no path and leave a trial

The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing

It is not how much you do but how much love you put in doing

What we think, what we know or what we believe is in the end, of little consequence. The only consequence is what we do

Real generosity is doing something nice for someone who will never find out

Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtue, but the parent of all the others

One would never learn to be brave and patient, if there were only joys in the world

Devote each day to some tasks and everyday you will find something done

Nobody remembers who came in second

One who asks a question is a fool for five minutes; one who does not ask a question remains a fool forever

If you cant change your fate, change your attitude

All the technology in the world can never replace a positive attitude

If you want the rainbow, you will have to put up with a little rain

The secret of happiness is not in doing what one likes,but in liking what one has to do

A man always has two reasons for what he does a good one and the real one

Most failures come, not from not knowing but from not trying

Blessed is he who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed

Goodness is the only investment which never fails

Pay attention to your enemies, they are the first to discover your mistakes

Don't be irreplaceable, if you  cant be replaced, you cant be promoted.

The only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on; it is never of any use to oneself

Better an ugly face than an ugly mind

A life without tragedy would not be worth living

It's better to be silent and thought a fool, than to speed and remove all your doubts

The worst thing you can possibly do is worrying and thinking about what you could have done

Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else

Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is the probable reason so few engage in it

Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things

No act of kindness, no matter how small is ever wasted

And in the end it's not the years in your life that counts. Its the life in your years

If you tell the truth, you dont have to remember anything

You have reached the pinnacle of success as soon as you become uninterested in money, compliments or publicity

Neither fire nor wind, birth nor death can erase our good deeds

People who fight fire with fire usually ends up with ashes

Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn't

Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans
