My Book Marks -- Favorite Quotes, Poetry & other crap...

Quotes...

" Change your thoughts, and the world around you will change."

" Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things that I cannot change, and courage to change the things I can and wisdom to see the difference "
To me by HelenaFigaro

" I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning to sail my ship." -- Louisa May Alcott

" A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out "

" If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day, so I never have to live without you. " -- Winnie the Pooh

" I am not alone; for your memories are always with me. "

" You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you." -- Walt Disney

" You shouldn't trust women, the more beautiful she is, more untrust worthy she is likely to be."

" I am looking for a rich old widow with bad cough... "

" L'amour est éternel tant qu'il dure " (love is eternal while it lasts) -- Henri de Régnier

" Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow.
  Don't walk behind me, I may not lead.
  Walk beside me and be my friend.   "  -- Albert Camus

My Book Marks...

" The art of choosing a Joyful Life -- Thomas Kinkade "

Living in a positive light -- Learn the fine art of choosing what you will allow into your life, mind and heart on a daily basis. Aim to walk forward, internal filters in place, and to have an influence that is beneficial to all concerned. To truly live peacefully and positively, pay attention to what goes on in your head and heart and what proceeds from your mouth and shows in your actions.

" Getting Through to People -- Dr. Gerald S. Nirenberg "

Cooperativeness in conversation is achieved when you show that you consider the other person's ideas and feelings as important as your own. Starting your conversation by giving the other person the purpose or direction of your conversation, governing what you say by what you would want to hear if you were the listener, and accepting his or her viewpoint will encourage the listener to have an open mind to your ideas.

" How to Win Friends & Influence People -- Dale Carnegie "

An appeal that everybody likes

The person himself will think of the real reason. You don't need to emphasize that. But all of us, being idealists at heart, like to think of motives that sound good. So, in order to change people, appeal to the nobler motives.

" Chaltay ho to Cheen (China in Urdu) ko Chalo " -- Ibn-e-Insha

Mein maut se nahi darta, par khud-kushi is leyee nahi karta ka poilce case ban ja ta hai
Translation (English): I am not afraid of death, but the reason I don't commit suicide is that it becomes a police case. (FYI, please note that in Pakistan (under PPC) committing suicide is a crime).

Poetry...

I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,

And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand,

How few! Yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,

While I weep - while I weep!

Oh God! Can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?

Oh God! Can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?

Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?        --Edgar Allan Poe

**Title: Not Known**

Hawaoon ki awargi daykhee,
Mohabbat ki deewangi daykhee...

Daykha hai khushboo ko mehaktay howay,
Yoon phuloon kee sadgee daykhee...

Maujoon kay shoor mein gom ho kay,
Samandar ki tazgee daykhee...

Rishtoon kay hajoom mein,
Ravayon ki bay-gan-gee daykhee...

Khuaboon ki Dor thamay,
Hum nay zindagi daykhee...    -- To me by Naveed

**Title: Aap ki yaad**

Aap ki yaad aati rahee raat bhar
Chasme nam-muskurati rahee raat bhar

Koi deewana galiyon mein phirta raha
Koi awaaz aati rahee raat bhar

Dard ke chand dil mein utartay rahay
Chandni jagmagati rahee raat bhar

Aap ki yaad aati rahee raat bhar
Chasme nam-muskurati rahee raat bhar    -- Faiz Ahmed Faiz

**Title: Fariyaad**

koi fariyaad tere dil mein dabee ho jaisay,
tu ne aakhoon se koi baat kahi ho jaisay...

jagtay... jagtay ek umer katee ho jaisay,
jaan baaki hai magar saasain ruki hoon jaisay...

har mulaqat pe mahasoos ye hi hota hai,
mujh se kuch teri nazar mooch rahee ho jaisay...

raha chaltay huway aksar ye guma hota hai,
woh nazar chchup ke mujhe daikh rahee ho jaisay...

koi fariyad tere dil mein dabee ho jaisay,
tu ne aakhoon se koi baat kahi ho jaisay...

Sarfaroshi ki tamanna ab hamaray dil mein hai,
        Dekhna ye hai ke zor kitna bazooay qatil mein hai.

kam shuhra-e-afaq hai hum sa ustad...
        Lakh peer o murshid hua kare koi

I had died of love's ecstacy;

I was buried in her arms;

I was awakened by her kisses;

I saw heaven in her eyes.        -- Ludwig Uhland
