“The kindest people are often those who have come through testing personal tragedies.”
― Ruskin Bond, The Whistling Schoolboy and Other Stories of School Life

“What’s there to life if you wake up every day knowing exactly what you are going to do today? Isn’t an unpredictable life the biggest boon to mankind,”
― Lekshmi Gopinathan, This Delicious Life

“Odd, how some little incident, some snatch of conversation, comes back to one again and again, in the most unlikely places.”
― Ruskin Bond, Petals on the Ganga

“We get out of life what we bring to it. There is not a dream which may not come true if we have the energy which determines our own fate. We can always get what we want if we will it intensely enough. So few people succeed greatly because so few people conceive a great end, working towards it without giving up. We all know that the man who works steadily for money gets rich; the man who works day and night for fame or power reaches his goal. And those who work for deeper, more spiritual achievements will find them too. It may come when we no longer have any use for it, but if we have been willing it long enough, it will come!”
― Ruskin Bond, The Whistling Schoolboy and Other Stories of School Life
