You write each one only a single letter that makes for Me a huge bundle a day, and I have to go through all of them. You may ask how I manage it? Well I do not waste a single moment.

When the entire story is unfolded then you will appreciate His plan not until then, for that you will have to get behind the screen of Maya and contact the Director Himself.
Sai BabaI am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do. I am free no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable I tolerate them, if I find them too obnoxious I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.
Robert A. HeinleinThere's a tremendous difference between alone and lonely. You could be lonely in a group of people. I like being alone. I like eating by myself.

Drew BarrymoreNothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not, nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not, unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not, the world is full of educated failures. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
