Famous quotes with Mala

  • Se encontrará con muchas personas que tratarán de poner abajo, y le dirá que su idea era la cosa más estúpida que había oído en su vida. No hay que desanimarse por su crítica disfuncional. Tienes que creer en ti mismo, y entonces sólo usted puede negar su negatividad. En mi opinión, nada va a cambiar en su vida hasta que usted cree firmemente en ti mismo. Por el contrario, si usted tiene una mala opinión de ti mismo, nadie se va a levantar, y tú vivirás con status quo. Creer en sus sueños, en sus ambiciones, y lo más importante, en ti mismo - no importa lo que otros digan o hagan.
    Deodatta V. Shenai-Khatkhate
  • I call it to mind and delight in it now, but I did not notice it at the time. We next to never know when we are well off: but this cuts two ways,--for if we did, we should perhaps know better when we are ill off also; and I have sometimes thought that there are as many ignorant of the one as of the other. He who wrote, “O fortunatos nimium sua si bona norint agricolas,” might have written quite as truly, “O infortunatos nimium sua si mala norint”; and there are few of us who are not protected from the keenest pain by our inability to see what it is that we have done, what we are suffering, and what we truly are. Let us be grateful to the mirror for revealing to us our appearance only.
    Samuel Butler (novelist)
