A real friend is the one who walks in when rest of the world walks OUT.

You can’t change the past, but you can ruin the present
by worrying over the future.

YESTERDAY is canceled cheque…..TOMORROW is a promissory note….TODAY is the only cash you have……so spend it wisely.

The future belongs to those who believes in the beauty of their DREAMS . AIM is the moon , even if you miss , you will land amongst the stars.

Poverty is not the absence of wealth, it is the absence of humane qualities, lack of manly abilities, and the absence of the desire to serve humanity.
