friends.

don't build nests on a tree that doesn't bear fruits.
Chanakya
A good wife is one who serves her husband in the morning like a mother does, loves him in
the day like a sister does and pleases him like a prostitute in the night.

kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.
Dale Carnegie
Most of us have far more courage than we ever dreamed we possessed.
Dale Carnegie
One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off

wears on her back.

Dale Carnegie
The ideas I stand for are not mine. I borrowed them from Socrates. I swiped them from

rules, whose would you use?
Dale Carnegie
The only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it.

person want to do it.
Dale Carnegie
Those convinced against their will are of the same opinion still.
