Live with Chivalry -Chivas Campaign

Let’s raise a glass to the almost-forgotten,

fine art of Chivalry.

Here’s to doing thing the right way

To giving a damn about others.

Here’s to giving your word… and keeping it

Here’s to honor, and its simple extension…

the handshake.

Here’s to style, exuberance and charisma

Here’s to black tie instead of no tie.

To the rich… in experience.
Here’s to chasing wealth… in all its forms,

and here´s to sharing it.

Here’s to straight talking or,

as it used to be know… honesty.

Here’s to having some front…

and watching someone’s back

Here’s to knowing that life’s real luxuries

are time and friendships.

Here’s to optimism an leaps of faith,

And while we’re at it… here’s to freedom

And having the audacity to go out and get it.

Here’s to knowing that you are not alone

That together we’re better, stronger, smarter.

Here’s to the brave and the enlightened

To a shared way of behaving

that sets certain man apart from all others.

Here’s to those who live with Chivalry… here’s to us!

Another God damn....

When his life was ruined, his family killed, his farm destroyed, Job knelt down on the ground and yelled up to the heavens, "Why God? Why me?" and the thundering voice of God answered, "There's just something about you that pisses me off".

• Storm of the Century (1999), Stephen King
  

God Damn Genius stuff

That's the whole trouble. You can't ever find a place that's nice and peaceful, because there isn't any. You may think there is, but once you get there, when you're not looking, somebody'll sneak up and write "Fuck you" right under your nose. Try it sometime. I think, even, if I ever die, and they stick me in a cemetery, and I have a tombstone and all, it'll say "Holden Caulfield" on it, and then what year I was born and what year I died, and then right under that it'll say "Fuck you." I'm positive, in fact.

-Catcher in the Rye, J.D. Salinger

And Kipling with whom I share my Bday( only a random coincidence)

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!

One more I like

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly, because you tread on my dreams.

-- William Butler Yeats

Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind

"How happy is the blameless vestal's lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each prayer accepted, and each wish resigned."

-I dont know who

Popper

Sir Karl Popper says- The notion that one can begin anything at all from scratch, free from the past, or unindebted to others, could not conceivably be more wrong.

It is difficult to practise popperian philosophy although it is so logical and independent.

Life could be so much easier and simpler if u can erase everything in ur mind when u find it is wrong. In that case we shall possibly be able to begin things from scratch.

This idea was used in the movie "Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind". Amazing movie it was, the erasing was again not 100% successful leaving some ash behind which rose again.
