Famous quotes with Vies

  • Acting is easier - writing is more creative. The lazy man vies with the industrious.
    William Shatner
  • La vie ne peut pas être mesurée par des statistiques sommaires, tels que l'argent accumulé dans les banques ou les actions acquises dans le marché boursier, ou le nombre de biens immobiliers appartenant etc., à mon avis, la seule métrique précieuse qui quantifier votre vie plus de précision est le nombre de vies que vous étiez en mesure d'aider de façon désintéressée, et influence la plus positive. Le véritable but de la vie humaine est très noble à mon humble avis .... toujours au-dessus et au-delà de simples mesures de questions matérialistes.
    Deodatta V. Shenai-Khatkhate
  • Après la longue période de temps chaud et sec, est la première pluie de la saison la création d'un parfum exquis éloquente dans l'air - une odeur terreuse qui imprègne et flotte tout autour de nous, rafraîchissant nos esprits et de rajeunir nos vies. Je aime ce puissant parfum de séduction - émanant de l'union tant attendue de pluie tendre et douce tombe à terre soif sèche, et d'inciter une intimité instantanée dans l'air. Intéressant, cet élégant parfum envoûtant a un nom aussi. ça se appelle "petrichor"; un mot composé dérivé de la langue grecque - comprenant "petra" qui signifie «la pierre», et «ichor» qui signifie «le fluide qui coule dans les veines des dieux" selon la mythologie grecque. à mon avis, petrichor est sûrement un parfum divin qui doit être un cadeau du pouvoir suprême. Si ma vie était un parfum, je aurais sûrement l'aime à sentir comme Petrichor.
    Deodatta V. Shenai-Khatkhate
  • I will now confess my own utopia. I devoutly believe in the reign of peace and in the gradual advent of some sort of socialistic equilibrium.when whole nations are the armies, and the science of destruction vies in intellectual refinement with the science of production, I see that war becomes absurd and impossible from its own monstrosity. Extravagant ambitions will have to be replaced by reasonable claims, and nations must make common cause against them.
    William James
