A very good morning to all our viewers where-ever you are!!!!!
Starting my first post with a quote,of course. Now if you watch cricket matches regularly, especially when India is involved you would know whom I am quoting. Yes that's the only line Ravi Shastri has ever used over the years to start his day at the commentary box.
Before moving ahead let me introduce myself. I am Phaneromaniac (one who obsessively chews his nails, if you like to be specific.) and the love for quotes has brought me here, to contribute in Gajanan's endeavour to share his favourite quotations with you people.
In "First Upload", Gajanan quotes Honere de Balzac. That reminds me the first line of Mario Puzo's "The Godfather". Puzo quotes Balzac and it goes like this:
"Behind every great fortune there is a crime".
Now that looks a bit pessimistic to me. What say, guys?
Few days ago I read this very interesting line from Voltaire, the 18th century French philosopher. He says:
"Everything that is too stupid to be spoken, is sung!"
I love songs and particularly of the romantic genre. So this line you know, kuch hajam nahi hoti.
Why are these philosophers so pragmatic? Or is it that they have this seen-it-all, done-it-all kinda attitude which makes them a bit detached??
Guys, do let me know what you think about the quotes. Why I am not just "cut-paste" ing quotes is because one forgets them as quickly as one forgets his maths lessons. So if we can discuss the quotes, we can have a better understanding of them and we can learn the art of picking, remembering and quoting appropriate quotes when the situation demands us to.
So keep reading and have a nice time. Adios!!

i agree with both the quotes
why?? can u elaborate?
"Behind every great fortune there is a crime".
As shahrukh says 'kuch pane k liye kuch khona padta hai'. I believe that one has to compromise on something to achieve something. So I also believe that most(if not all)of the people who have achieved this 'great fortune' must have compromised on, what better (and easier) than their conscience, thereby commiting 'crime' of some sort.
"Everything that is too stupid to be spoken, is sung!"
I really don't have to elaborate on this one!
"Nobody ever became millionaire working honestly"
I suppose that reminds you of the previous occassion when i had qouted the same. Now that goes quite well with your first quote. Doesn't it? Now what have you to say Kapil? That day you were quite adament have you changed your stance now?
No no no..no question of changing my stance...
there may be some instances of crimes, moral or ethical, committed by people to achieve power, fame or money, but that doesn't mean everyone out there is venal and lacks conscience.
more importantly if you believe that you must do something against the law of land to realise your dreams then I think you are saying that you do not have belief in your ability to get there.
