Cicero's Philosophy
Rome's Cicero (106 - 43 BC), "the legendary silver tongued orator" - His philosophy is still valid even today, for any country of the set globe:
1. The poor: work and work,
2. The rich: exploit the poor,
3. The soldier: protects both,
4. The taxpayer: pays for all three,
5. The wanderer: rests for all four,
6. The drunk: drinks for all five,
7. The banker: robs all six,
8. The lawyer: misleads all seven,
9. The doctor: kills all eight,
10. The undertaker: buries all nine,
11. The Politician: lives happily on the account of all ten.
Not far from the truth even today!!
No mention of the Boss!!!

Be Quick, Be Brief, Be Gone
in Sevagram in Bapu Kuti, a small board was hung just behind Gandhiji's seat.
There was a very useful threefold advice written on it:
Be Quick,
Be Brief,
Be Gone
When the interviewees did not show any sign after their time was over,
even after Bapu's glance at the watch, Bapu would point at the board
and laugh loudly with his toothless mouth.
From The Fire and the Rose by Narayan Desai, p 637.

"A 'No' uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a 'Yes' merely uttered to please, or worse, to avoid trouble."

Mahatma Gandhi Quotes
Mahatma Gandhi had such wisdom way beyond his time. A lot can be learned from these quotes, they are very enlightening!
1- Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.
2- Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.
3- The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.
4- Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it.
5- You must be the change you want to see in the world.
6- You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.
7- An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.
8- Nobody can hurt me without my permission.
9- Whenever you are confronted with an opponent. Conquer him with love.
10- God has no religion.
11- Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need, but not every man's greed.
12- You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind.
13- Men often become what they believe themselves to be. If I believe I cannot do something, it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe I can, then I acquire the ability to do it even if I didn't have it in the beginning.
14- An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it.
15- You may never know what results come of your action, but if you do nothing there will be no result.
16- The only tyrant I accept in this world is the still voice within.
17- There is more to life than simply increasing its speed.
18- Suffering cheerfully endured, ceases to be suffering and is transmuted into an ineffable joy.
19- Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.
20- To believe in something, and not to live it, is dishonest.
