Effective Journey

Mere mortals have left an indelible mark on the world because they chose to tread the path they feared rather than fearing the path they had to tread. Copyright © 2009 LST's INFOS and QUIPS. All Rights Reserved. Sign in to see full entry.

Unattainable Goals

When we aim high, we set goals we may never reach; but the constant effort to attain them results in our achieving more than we ordinarily would. In continuing to pursue these 'unattainable' goals we test our energy and faculties to the utmost limits. And we are less likely to fail since we are... Sign in to see full entry.

We Cannot Afford To Do That.

We cannot change the past; yet the future is in our hands. We can transform the world by what we say or do. Remain silent, docile, and dormant and we will have cheated ourselves and failed all mankind. We cannot afford to do that. Copyright © 2009 LST's INFOS and QUIPS. All Rights Reserved.

The Worth of One's Life

We are privileged with one life and many have been dead all their lives. Others live on long after they have died. What one contributes to the lives of others, and the selflessness in which that contribution is made, determine the worth and existence of that life. Copyright © 2009 LST's INFOS and...

Our Choice.

The evil of the world cannot consume us unless we consent to participate. What we do, or what we say, determines our ultimate fate. Copyright © 2009 LST's INFOS and QUIPS. All Rights Reserved. Sign in to see full entry.

Interspersed Humour @

The easiest kind of relationship for me is with ten thousand people. The hardest is with one. - Joan Baez I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: 'O Lord, make my enemies ridiculous.' And God granted it. - Voltaire If you want to know what God thinks of money, just look at the... Sign in to see full entry.

And SoThe Clock Strikes Midnight

The day passes; life passes. Like birth, the first day of each year is a new beginning. Like an infant just separated from mom’s umbilical chord, air flows to the lungs and there is a scream. Unlike an infant, those who have been around for a few years know what our screams, our sighs, our tears... Sign in to see full entry.

In Hoc Anno Domini

This article appeared in the Wall Street Journal week one day last week. As indicated, it was first published 1n 1949, and has been annually repeated ever since. For those who do not get WSJ, or even for those who have read this editorial before, I share this great piece. Indeed, my poem Spirit Of... Sign in to see full entry.

Suffer The Little Children...

People will go to church today. People will pray today. People will play today. People in the Christian world will celebrate, in many ways, the birth of Jesus. Yet nothing is more gratifying to me than to see children with their toys; their expectations realized; the gleam in their eyes; their... Sign in to see full entry.

AGAIN!

I am the opinion this thought is very appropriate at this time of the year. We cannot give what we do not have. But oh how so much we have to give!! We fail miserably when we ignore our friends. Sometimes we conclude that we cannot offer the little things lest they not be appreciated. Yet it is the... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

Quotes and sayings that should arouse intellectual curiosity. Quips that underlie all our lives and daily dealings. A quote, or saying, may be mine or any other author whose expression impresses. When it is mine, I will clearly state. If I can identify the author who penned what I say, I will give him, or her, credit. On occasions, when no one is identified, the assumption should be made that such quote is NOT mine.
