Beauty of forgiveness

Sandalwood perfumes even the axe that hurls it down! The more we rub sandalwood against a stone, the more its fragrance spreads. Burn it, and it wafts its glory through the entire neighbourhood. Such is the enchanting beauty of forgiveness in life.

Success!

Success or achievement is not the final goal. It is the 'spirit' in which you act that puts the seal of beauty upon your life. The secret of success behind all men of achievement lies in the faculty of applying their intellect in all their activities, without being mislead by any surging emotions or feelings. The secret of success in life lies in keeping the head above the storms of the heart.
A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks that others throw at him.
