•     SEEKER OF TRUTH

The seeker after Truth should be humbler than the dust.
Only then, and not till then, will he have a glimpse of Truth.

                                           Gandhi

• NOTHING, NOTHING...

Let nothing disturb you,
Nothing affright you
All things are passing;
God never changes.
Patient endurance attaines to all things;
Who God possesses
in nothing is wanting:
Alone God suffices.

St. Theresa of Avila

• QUALITY OF A LEADER

A leader  is best
When people barely know he exists;
Not so good
when people obey and acclaim him;
Worse when they despise him.
But of a good leader,
who talks little,
when his work is done,
his aim fulfilled
they will say: "We did it ourselves".

                                    Lao-Tse
 
 

•  PONDER THESE WORDS
 
Know your facts fully.
Never blink the truth.
Be open to the manysidedness of truth.
Steep yourself in the firsthand experience
in the field of your authority...
Concentrate on the essential,
letting everything else
quietly take its relative place.
Trust reason.
Seek orderly debate.
Consult, argue, listen...
Trust, and again I say trust
- despite the risks involved;
but it is quite true
trust cannot exceed reasonable limits
though these limits are neither
rigid nor 'a priori'.
The trusted often go out of their way
to prove that they were doubly worthy
of the trust placed in them...
Without faith in himself
faith in his fellowmen
and, for the christian, faith in God
no leader can lead."

                        Dr. Charles Habib Malik

•  DEVOTEE OF TRUTH
A devotee  of  Truth  may not do anything in deference  to convention.
He  may always hold   himself  open  to correction, and whenever he discovers himself 
to be wrong, he must confess it at all  costs and  atone  for it.

 Gandhi
