Preface
Life is a series of ups and downs. As long as things are in our favour fulfilling our expectations, we are happy and wish that this happiness should never end. But we all know that this seldom happens. While this is true, it is also a fact that misfortune can occur at any time in life. It could be anything - failure in examination, rejection in a job interview, loss in business, illness, stressful family life or even divorce. Amidst such problems, our immediate reaction is of confusion, depression, or even helplessness. While in distress the presence of timely advice can prove to be very helpful. The book is an attempt in this direction.
It gives me great pleasure in presenting this book, a comprehensive compilation of words of wisdom. It has been an enlightening and fulfilling effort for me to put together a large number of quotes drawn from varied sources. Reading has been a passion for me since my student days. My favourites include topics like the art of living, personality development, yoga and spirituality. Whenever I’d come across a passage or quote that was appealing, I’d note it down. The fascination resulted in a huge collection of quotes; something I deemed appropriate to publish in the form of a book. There are close to 460 quotes, classified under nineteen groups on the basis of their content; with the exception of the last one that lies under the group Miscellaneous.
I sincerely hope that amidst difficulties and setbacks, a glance through, can be illuminating and inspiring, enabling the reader to come out of depression and sadness and develop a positive attitude which is so important for success and happiness in life.

BOOKS AND READING HABIT
Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man.
– Francis Bacon
A home without books is a body without soul.
– Marcus Tullius
To learn to read is to light a fire; every syllable that is spelled out is a spark.
– Victor Hugo
To read without reflecting is like eating without digesting.
– Edmund Burke
What is wonderful about great literature is that it transforms the man who reads it towards the condition of the man who wrote.
– E.M. Forster
If I read a book and it makes my body so cold no fire can ever warm me, I know its poetry.
– Emily Dickinson
If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again; there is no use in reading it at all.
– Oscar Wilde
Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested.
– Francis Bacon
Every man who knows how to read has it in his power to magnify himself, to multiply the ways in which he exists, to make his life full, significant and interesting.
– Aldous Huxley
A good book is the best of friends, the same today and tomorrow.
– Martin Tupper
Don’t just say you have read books. Show that through them you have learned to think better, to be a more discriminating and reflected person. Books are the training weights of the mind. They are very helpful, but it would be a bad mistake to suppose that one has made progress simply by having internalized their contents.
– Epictetus
Read, not to contradict and confute; not to believe and take for granted, not to find talk and discourse, but to weigh and consider.
– Francis Bacon
The best books elevate us into a region of disinterested thought, where personal objects fade into insignificance, and the troubles and anxieties of the world are almost forgotten.
– LordAvebury
Reading good books can be of help in the early mental stage - they prepare the mind, put it in the right atmosphere, can even, if one is very sensitive, bring some glimpses of realization on the mental plane. Afterwards the utility diminishes - you have to find every knowledge and experience in yourself.
– Sri Aurobindo
Reading contributes significantly to the success and development of an individual and it is recommended for people of all demographics. Many recent surveys done across the world have found that reading habits have diminished, especially in managers who should be reading extensively.
– Nitya Sai Souniya
The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.
– Dr. Seuss
Study as if you were to live for ever, live as if you were to die tomorrow.
– Mahatma Gandhi
Being open to, and actively seeking new knowledge is a lesson that must be quickly learned if success and happiness are your goal.
– Greg Vance
Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counsellors and then most patient of teachers.
– Charles W. Eliot
To get the greatest amount not merely of benefit but even of enjoyment from books, we must read for improvement, rather than for amusement.
– LordAvebury
A man should be known by the books he reads and collects. There is a common trait among book lovers. They are always eager and even anxious to get more and more books, to the extent of getting irritated if they do not get the desired ones and angry if some from the collection are lost or misplaced.
– Govind Talwalkar
CHANGE
Change is a gift from God, a doorway to the next spiritual level, and we are a creative force in our own lives. To no longer be the victim of change is to master change. This mastery allows you to see the hand of God at work in your life and create a future that reflects confidence, a divine plan and a higher purpose.
– Mary Carroll Moore
Change is not only inevitable; it is constant and unvarying law. Without it, everything would remain for ever as it is, and there could be neither growth nor progress.
– JamesAllen
Every change in life offers new experiences, and each new experience is an opportunity of further development. This is why, if we refuse to go forward voluntarily, life tumbles us out of our comfortable little niche and throws us into the maelstrom -that we may become wiser, more capable men and women.
– S. Harrison
