WHICH IS THE BEST QUOTATION in list -2 that deals with various aspects of life? “It is difficult to say” can be the immediate response from anybody. It is true also, since different quotations express different views or conclusions from a variety of personalities, including writers, leaders, scientists, artists etc. Almost all authors in list-2 could have lived their lives with wide spectra of experiences. They might have coined their quotations in their forties, fifties or seventies. Some were globally famous and some only nationally or regionally. Still all the different quotations express some profound sense or idea of high importance making it difficult to pick up any one as the best. I can say honestly that I noted down many of the quotations
in my diaries only because I myself had understood and practised the truths
or values in them. A casual survey of these over-seventy quotations would
show that some are applicable to interaction-transaction circles in daily
life, some to professional competitions, some to family life and some
to full life from infancy to old age. All of them bring out something
important, valuable, useful or wonderful about life and living. |

Now what are the best pieces of advice for living an ordinary life of
a commoner? “An apology is the super glue of life. It
can repair just about anything”(no.38). This does not require certification
or authentication by anybody. (Quotation no.6 is very similar). Both are
fully correct, especially in the light of what Bob Goddard says(no.55).
Quotation no. 50 points out the need for a person to know, ‘what is just
enough’ in different situations. For this, one needs background information
on ‘what is right and wrong’, ‘what is relevant and irrelevant’, ‘what
is good and bad’ etc. The 43rd quotation by S.A. Kallis Jr. emphasizes
the need for relevancy in daily life. One should Quotations 31,65,66 and 67 say something vital about
child care and husband-wife relationships. If one thinks deep into them,
taking examples from one’s own life, it is not difficult to understand
the depth and width of ‘insights’ contained in them. Read other quotations
(nos. 7, 30, 38, 47, and 48) in this context. All together say a lot about
successful family life. ‘Love your spouse as you love
yourself ’, seem to be the best buzzword for all now – times of
easy divorces, family breakdowns and corruption. |
