    Dale Carnegie
    “That is the way Emerson said it. But here is the way a poet -the late Douglas Mallochsaid
    it:
    If you can't be a pine on the top of the hill.
    Be a scrub in the valley-but be
    The best little scrub by the side of the rill;
    Be a bush, if you can't be a tree.
    If you can't be a bush, be a bit of the grass.
    If you can't be a muskie, then just be a bass-
    But the liveliest bass in the lake!
    We can't all be captains, we've got to be crew.
    There's something for all of us here.
    There's big work to do and there's lesser to do
    And the task we must do is the near.
    If you can't be a highway, then just be a trail,
    If you can't be the sun, be a star;
    It isn't by the size that you win or you fail-

    Be the best of whatever you are!”
    Dale Carnegie, How to Stop Worrying and Start Living: Time-Tested Methods for Conquering Worry

    Paulo Coelho
    “Before a dream is realized, the Soul of the World tests everything that was learned along the way. It does this not because it is evil, but so that we can, in addition to realizing our dreams, master the lessons we’ve learned as we’ve moved toward that dream. That’s the point at which most people give up. It’s the point at which, as we say in the language of the desert, one 'dies of thirst just when the palm trees have appeared on the horizon.”
    Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

    Khaled Hosseini
    “there is only one sin, only one. And that is theft. Every other sin is a variation of theft. When you kill a man, you steal a life... you steal his wife's right to a husband, rob his children of a ather. When you tell a lie, you steal someone's right to the truth. When you cheat, you steal the right to fairness... there is no act more wretched than stealing.”
    Khaled Hosseini, The Kite Runner

    “Allah Ki Mohabbat Ke Siwa, Har Mohabbat Ko Zawal Hai.
    Rab Ki Mohabbat Ke Illawa Duniya Ki Koi Mohabbat Sachi Nahi,
    Aur Rab Asliyat Dekha Deta Hai. Har Rishte, Har Mohabbat Ki.
    Phir Wo Sab Kuch Dekha Ker Adami Se Kehta Hai,
    "Ab Bata Tera Mere Siwa Kon Hai?”
    Umera Ahmed, Shahr E Zaat/شہر ذات

    Markus Zusak
    “They say that war is death's best friend, but I must offer you a different point of view on that one. To me, war is like the new boss who expects the impossible. He stands over your shoulder repeating one thin, incessantly: 'Get it done, get it done.' So you work harder. You get the job done. The boss, however, does not thank you. He asks for more.”
    Markus Zusak, The Book Thief

    Donald T. Phillips
    “When the conduct of men is designed to be influenced, persuasion, kind, unassuming persuasion, should ever be adopted. It is an old and a true maxim, that a “drop of honey catches more flies than a gallon of gall.” So with men. If you would win a man to your cause, first convince him that you are his sincere friend. Therein is a drop of honey that catches his heart, which, say what he will, is the great high road to his reason, and which, when once gained, you will find but little trouble in convincing his judgment of the justice of your cause, if indeed that cause really be a just one. On the contrary, assume to dictate to his judgment, or to command his action, or to mark him as one to be shunned and despised, and he will retreat within himself, close all the avenues to his head and his heart; and tho’ your cause be naked truth itself . . . you shall no more be able to [reach] him, than to penetrate the hard shell of a tortoise with a rye straw. Such is man, and so must he be understood by those who would lead him, even to his own best interest. [Italics added]”

    Dale Carnegie
    “A good deed, "said the prophet Mohammed, "is one that brings a smile of joy to the face of another."
    Why will doing a good deed every day produce such astounding efforts on the doer?
    Because trying to please others will cause us to stop thinking of ourselves: the very
    thing that produces worry and fear and melancholia.”
