Life is a mosaic of pleasure and pain -
grief is an interval between
two moments of joy.
Peace is the interlude between two wars.
You have no rose without a thorn;
the diligent picker will avoid the pricks
and gather the flowers.
There is no bee without the sting; cleverness
consists in gathering the honey nevertheless.
Troubles and travails
will haunt you. But you must not allow
them to deflect you from the
path of duty and dedication.
The world today is afflicted with
anxiety, fear, depression, hatred, greed and suspicion.
The only way
the world can be set right is for man
to realise his high destiny;
for every man yearns for two boons -
attainment of joy and escape from sorrow.
