Buddies i have collected many proverbs which which are quoted by famous personalities and i want to share with you all. I hope you read them and state your feelings on my collection:) These are from my diary...
#1. Life is a series of collisions with the future, it is not a sum of what we have been but what we yearn to be.
#2. The past always looks better than it was, it's only pleasant because its not here.
#3. There are two kinds of people in one's life - people whom one keeps waiting and the people for whom one waits.
#4. Power does not corrupt men but fools who get into a position of power, corrupts power.
#5. He who refuses praise the first time that it is offered does so because he would hear it a second time.
#6. The economics of love is, the more you give, the more you have.
#7. When we forgive someone, the knots are united and the past is released.
#8. Don't search for the joy in things. Search within yourself.
#9. At the darkest moment, remember there is the promise of daylight.
#10. Change is the only unchanging factor in life. Go with the flow.
#11. A proverb is a short sentence based on a long experience.
#12. The differences between failure and success is doing a thing nearly right and doing a thing exactly right.
#13. A good conversationalist is not one who remembers what was said, but says what someone wants to remember.
#14. Life is like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt you represents determinism, the way you play it is free will.
#15. The game of life is not so much in holding a good hand as playing a poor hand well.
#16. Life is a progress from want to want, not from enjoyment to enjoyment.
#17. In nature there are neither rewards nor punishments, there are only consequences.
#18. The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.
#19. When relaxation i the goal and efforts are the medium then work becomes play.
#20. Our consciousness is not confined between the two ears, it's spread all over the body.
Hope you enjoy reading them.. Comments are most welcome..

A baby is an alimentary canal with a loud voice at one end and no responsibility at the other.
A bad workman blames his tools.
A banker is a fellow who lends you his umbrella when the sun is shining, but wants it back the minute it begins to rain.
A bus is a vehicle that runs twice as fast when you are after it as when you are in it.
A calm sea does not make a skilled sailor.
A celebrity is someone who works hard all his life to become known and then wears dark glasses to avoid being recognized.
A chain is no stronger than its weakest link.
A Deaf Husband and a Blind Wife are Always a Happy Couple.
A drowning man will clutch at straws.
A gossips mouth is the devils postbag
