Charlie Chaplin - The Comedy King

Everybody who loved comedy loved Charlie Chaplin. He not only entertained people around the world by making fun of himself but also inspired millions to be a good human being. Here are some words of wisdom from the great soul..Charlie Chaplin.

I don't want to be an emperor, thats not my business.
I don't want to rule or conquer anyone but I would like to help everyone if possible.
Greed has poisoned out soul.
We think too much but feel little.
More than machinery, we need humanity.
More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness.
Without these qualities life will be violent.
To those who hear me;I say do not despair.
You have the love of humanity in your hearts!
Kingdom of God is within man, not in one man, not a group of men but all men!
In you, you the people..the power to create machines, create happiness.
You the people have power to make this life free and beautiful, a wonderful adventure!
Let us all unite...
Let us fight for a new world...
To go away with national barriers, to go away with greed, with hate and intolerence...
Let us fight for a world of a reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men's happiness.
Let us all unite!

Blowin' in the wind

The Mumbai blasts have triggered many questions and the answers are blowing in the wind.
People are distressed and angry looking for an answer to the question, when would it end?
At this moment, I can only remember Bob Dylan's famous song...

How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head,
Pretending he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

Unbeaten

If you think you are bitten; you are.

If you think you dare not; you don't.

If you would like to win, but think you can't.

Its almost a cinch you won't.

If you think you will lose; you are lost.

For out in the world we find ----

SUCCESS BEGINS WITH A FELLOW'S WILL;

Its all in the state of mind.

Life's battles don't always go to a stronger or a faster man;

BUT ---

Sooner or later, the man who WINS is the one

WHO THINKS HE CAN !

"Stop 'THINKING' that you can and 'KNOW' that you can !"

Great Scientists on Indian Philosophy

Few quotes:

“We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to
count, without which no worthwhile scientific
discovery could have been made. ”

~ Albert Einstein

“After the conversations about Indian philosophy, some of the ideas of Quantum Physics that had seemed so crazy suddenly made much more sense”.

~W. Heisenberg (German Physicist, 1901-1976)

“The Vedanta and the Sankhya hold the key to the laws of mind and thought process which are co-related to the Quantum Field, i.e. the operation and distribution of particles at atomic and molecular levels.”

~Prof. Brian David Josephson (1940 - ) Welsh physicist, the youngest Nobel Laureate

“It is India that gave us the ingenious method of expressing all numbers by ten symbols, each receiving a value of position as well as an absolute value, a profound and important idea which appears so simple to us now that we ignore its true merit. But its very simplicity, the great ease which it has lent to all computations, puts our arithmetic in the first rank of useful inventions, and we shall appreciate the grandeur of this achievement the more when we remember that it escaped the genius of Archimedes and Appollnius, two of the greatest men produced by antiquity.”

~Pierre Simon de Laplace, French mathematician, philosopher, and astronomer

“Whenever I have read any part of the Vedas, I haveThoreau
felt that some unearthly and unknown light illuminated
me. In the great teaching of the Vedas, there is no
touch of sectarianism. It is of all ages, climbs, and
nationalities and is the royal road for the attainment
of the Great Knowledge.”

~ Thoreau (American Thinker)

“The marvel of the Bhagavad-Gita is its truly beautiful revelation of life’s wisdom which enables philosophy to blossom into religion.”

~ Herman Hesse (1877-1962), German poet and novelist, awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1946,

“In the great book of India,the Bhagavad-gita, an empire spoke to us,nothing small or unworthy, but large, serene, consistent, the voice of an old intelligence, which in
another age and climate had pondered and thus disposed of the questions that exercise us.”

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson Eminent American Thinker
