Words are one of the forces controlling the world today. Life centers around them. With them decisions are been taken, with them solutions are been given to problems, with them lives are been transform, with them knowledge and information are been imparted from one individual/generation to another, with them hopes are been given to the hopeless, with them relationship and unseperable bond are been established etc and the list keeps going on and on.

Ironically words have also been the cause of man's problems.
With words many are been slaughtered, with them many are been descriminated, with them many are been marginalized, with them civic unrest occurs, with them wars occurs, with them the poor, hopeless, weak are been treated like animals.
Words are integral part of our life.

Words when use at the right time, right place, right circumstances and right manner causes a positive reaction which affects and changes the course of history positively but when use at the wrong time, wrong place, wrong circumstances and wrong manner can cause a negative reaction which will affect and change the course of history negatively. Yes that the effect and power of the four letter word .W.O.R.D.

Over the years words have been spoken by philosophers, inspirational speakers, teachers and men in general. This words have had a massive impact on the life of people positively. I call this words quotes.

This thread contains quotes and the men that quoted them. I urge you not to just read this quotes like some random article or stories but I urge you to study,memorize and apply them in your life. Let them be a part of you.there is a saying that says "there are principles if you follow them, you will be a principality".

Welcome on board as we go on a journey into the world of WORDS exploring the unimaginable power and effect of words in CHRONICLES OF QUOTES.

welcome guys to your favourite, philosophical, inspirational and educative thread "CHRONICLES OF QUOTES".

1.) It’s no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.
__________Lewis Carroll

2.) The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
_________George Bernard Shaw

3.) Hardship often prepares an ordinary person for an extraordinary destiny.
__________Christopher Markus

4.) When what you hear and what you see don't match, trust your eyes.
___________Dale Renton

5.) Every man is a creature of the age in which he lives and few are able to raise themselves above the ideas of the time.
_________Voltaire

6.) Disappointment will come when your effort does not give you the expected return. If things don’t go as planned or if you face failure. Failure is extremely difficult to handle, but those that do come out stronger. What did this failure teach me? is the question you will need to ask. You will feel miserable. You will want to quit, like I wanted to when nine publishers rejected my first book. Some IITians kill themselves over low grades – how silly is that? But that is how much failure can hurt you. But it’s life. If challenges could always be overcome, they would cease to be a challenge. And remember – if you are failing at something, that means you are at your limit or potential. And that’s where you want to be.
Disappointment’ s cousin is Frustration, the second storm. Have you ever been frustrated? It happens when things are stuck. This is especially relevant in India. From traffic jams to getting that job you deserve, sometimes things take so long that you don’t know if you chose the right goal. After books, I set the goal of writing for Bollywood, as I thought they needed writers. I am called extremely lucky, but it took me five years to get close to a release. Frustration saps excitement, and turns your initial energy into something negative, making you a bitter person. How did I deal with it? A realistic assessment of the time involved – movies take a long time to make even though they are watched quickly, seeking a certain enjoyment in the process rather than the end result – at least I was learning how to write scripts, having a side plan – I had my third book to write and even something as simple as pleasurable distractions in your life – friends, food, travel can help you overcome it. Remember, nothing is to be taken seriously. Frustration is a sign somewhere, you took it too seriously.
__________Chetan Bhagat

7.) Don't bite off more than you can chew because nobody looks attractive spitting it back out.
___________Carroll Bryant

8.) How long are you going to wait before you demand the best for yourself and in no instance bypass the discriminations of reason? You have been given the principles that you ought to endorse, and you have endorsed them. What kind of teacher, then, are you still waiting for in order to refer your self-improvement to him? You are no longer a boy, but a full-grown man. If you are careless and lazy now and keep putting things off and always deferring the day after which you will attend to yourself, you will not notice that you are making no progress, but you will live and die as someone quite ordinary.
From now on, then, resolve to live as a grown-up who is making progress, and make whatever you think best a law that you never set aside. And whenever you encounter anything that is difficult or pleasurable, or highly or lowly regarded, remember that the contest is now: you are at the Olympic Games, you cannot wait any longer, and that your progress is wrecked or preserved by a single day and a single event. That is how Socrates fulfilled himself by attending to nothing except reason in everything he encountered. And you, although you are not yet a Socrates, should live as someone who at least wants to be a Socrates.
___________Epictetus

9.) No matter how many plans you make or how much in control you are, life is always winging it.
__________Carroll Bryant

10.) The moment you stop trying to become a better person, is the moment you start to become worse than what you already are.
____________Carroll Bryant

11.) The only thing standing between you and your dreams is ... reluctance.
__________Carroll Bryant

12.) Life contains but two tragedies. One is not to get your heart’s desire; the other is to get it.
_________Socrates

13.) But a desperate heart will seduce the mind.
___________Mitch Albom

14.) Reading is going toward something that is about to be, and no one yet knows what it will be.
__________Italo Calvino

15.) Every man has forgotten who he is. One may understand the cosmos, but never the ego; the self is more distant than any star.
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God; but thou shalt not know thyself.
We are all under the same mental calamity; we have all forgotten our names. We have all forgotten what we really are. All that we call common sense and rationality and practicality and positivism only means that for certain dead levels of our life we forget that we have forgotten. All that we call spirit and art and ecstasy only means that for one awful moment we remember that we forget.
_____________G.K. Chesterton

16.) The unexamined life is not worth living
_________Socrates

17.) Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent
________Ludwig Wittgenstein

18.) Entities should not be multiplied unnecessarily
_________William of Ockham

19.) The life of man (in a state of nature) is solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short”
__________Thomas Hobbes

20.) I think therefore I am” (“Cogito, ergo sum”)
_______René Descartes

VOLTAIRE. THE ONLY SENSIBLE FRENCHMAN. FRANCE HAS NEVER BEEN SERIOUS!
