“Never know what life is going to throw at you"
“Never know what life is going to throw at you"
Passing the neighborhood on a quiet afternoon, I was pleasantly surprised to be drenched with water and there were no clouds in the sky. Looked up to see a housewife had just emptied a bucket of water from her balcony on the second floor. Just a matter of chance that I happened to be there exactly 90 degrees below it. It made me understand the law of gravity a little better.

On another day while passing through a park I was hit by a ball - and I was wonder struck from where God had sent that one, only to realize a few moments later that the future cricket team of India was playing a 20-20 match nearby.
One never knows what Dame Fortune holds in store you till you are hit by it.
New York New York
A man goes to see a psychiatrist having his office and clinic in the expensive Madison Square area in New York. As he enters the main hall, he notices two doors, one with a sign board reading “For New Yorkers” the other one marked “For Outsiders”. Being an outsider he enters through the second door. Again he faces two doors, one marked ” For Men” and the other marked “For Women”He goes though the “For Men” door and finds two more doors, one marked “For Those Earning $ 10,000 And Above” and the other marked “For Those Earning Below $10,000″. Since his income is less than $10,000 a month, he goes through the door marked “For Those Earning Below $10,000″ and finds himself standing out in the open on the street on Madison Square .
When does the next swan leave?
(Leo Slezak - world-famous tenor opera singer and also an actor/comedian in German films)
During a performance of Wagner’s “Lohengrin”, a technician sent the swan out too early before the tenor could hop aboard and the swan appeared onstage alone, drawing an empty skiff. During the ensuing flap, tenor Slezak’s voice was clearly heard from the wings, in the manner of an annoyed traveler addressing the stationmaster: “When does the next swan leave?”

Spring
Kite Days
A kite, a sky, and a good firm breeze,
And acres of ground away from trees,
And one hundred yards of clean, strong string -
O boy, O boy! I call that spring!

Honesty is the Best Policy
Honesty is the Best Policy
Mark Twain was once invited to speak to school children on ‘Honesty’ and he related this incident to them:
“I was of your age and one day I was playing with other kids in a street when a cart full of melons passed by. I could not resist the temptation, I ran after the cart and stole a melon and came back. As soon as I took a bite, a strange sense of guilt and remorse came over me. I ran after the cart again, put that melon back and picked up a ripe one.”

Mark Twain
It usually takes more than three weeks to prepare a good impromptu speech.
It was wonderful to find America, but it would have been more wonderful to miss it.
Never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.
Often it does seem a pity that Noah and his party did not miss the boat.
When I was younger, I could remember anything, whether it had happened or not.
A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.
By trying we can easily learn to endure adversity. Another man's, I mean.
The report of my death was an exaggeration.

I still miss my ex-wife, but my aim is getting better.
If you are going to try cross-country skiing, start with a small country.
If you think nobody cares you’re alive, try missing a couple of car payments.
I’m objective; I object to everything.
Lead me not into temptation. I can find it myself.
If you hear an onion ring, answer it.
I shot an arrow into the air, and it stuck.
If ignorance is bliss, why aren’t there more happy people?
It makes no difference whether you win or lose until you lose.
Mistakes are often the stepping stones to utter failure.
Never appeal to a man’s “better nature.” he might not have one.
A rolling stone gathers momentum.
There are 3 kinds of people: those who can count & those who can’t.

For many are the trees of God that grow
In Paradise and various, yet unknown to us
In such abundance lies our choice
As leaves a greater store of fruit untouched
Still hanging incorruptible, till men
Grow up to their provision, and more hands
Help to disburden Nature of her bearth.” - John Milton
