QUOTE
"If you could say, with truth, to your own solitary heart, to-night, 'I have secured to myself the love and attachment, the gratitude or respect, of no human creature; I have won myself a tender place in no regard; I have done nothing good or serviceable to be remembered by!' your seventy-eight years would be seventy-eight heavy curses; would they not?"


Charles Dickens - A tale of two cities

I like this quote by einstein.

'The sign of a cluttered desk shows a messy mind but then an empty desk shows an empty mind?"

hihi,the quote I tell my mom every time she asks me to clean up.

may not get the quote totally right but then that's probably excused by this quote.

"Misquotation is, in fact, the pride and privilege of the learned. A widely- read man never quotes accurately, for the rather obvious reason that he has read too widely."
