Who is a friend?

Posted by maneesh On July - 16 - 2010

A friend is more than someone who wipes Your tears when you are sad. They are more than the person you call when Someone makes you incredibly mad. A true friend does not have to be a person You spend time with every weekend, Or even someone who lives Just around the bend. A friend can be a person with whom You shared a single moment, But you felt like it was just for You they were sent. Friendship does not always have to Build up over years It, like love, sometimes Just appears. So always remember that Each person you meet Has the potential to be someone Especially interesting and neat. Try not to judge those who Don't seen your "type," Because their personality, May fit yours just right.

True friendship

Posted by maneesh On July - 15 - 2010
  • True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it be lost."
  • "Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born."
  • "Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up."
  • "Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather is one of those things that give value to survival."
  • "The better part of one's life consists of his friendships."
  • "The greatest good you can do for another is not just share your riches, but to reveal to him, his own."
  • "Friendship is one mind in two bodies."
  • "Anybody can sympathise with the sufferings of a friend, but it requires a very fine nature to sympathise with a friend's success."

Golden words of Swami Vivekananda

Posted by maneesh On July - 13 - 2010

Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.

Come out into the universe of Light. Everything in the universe is yours, stretch out your arms and embrace it with love. If you every felt you wanted to do that, you have felt God.

All knowledge that the world has ever received comes from the mind; the infinite library of the universe is in our own mind.

What is love?

Posted by maneesh On July - 9 - 2010
  • Love is born of faith, Lives on hope, And dies of charity
  • Love is when you're in their arms and everything just fits
  • I don't want to live-- I want to love first, And live incidentally
  • There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved
  • Love is something eternal, The aspect may change, But not the essence
  • Love is like a thread, slender and frail, but when woven together with another creates a sail which carries the ship of the heart to its sea of endless love, together.
  • You know you are in love when you see the world in her eyes, and her eyes everywhere in the world.
  • Love doesn't make the world go 'round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile
  • You are the brightest part of my day and the warmest part of my night
  • Love is strong yet delicate. It can be broken. To truly love is to understand this. To be in love is to respect this.

Who is a friend?

Posted by maneesh On July - 8 - 2010

A friend is somebody
Who knows you and likes you
Exactly the way that you are.

Someone who's special
And so close in thought
That no distance can ever seem far.

A friend understands you
Without any words,
Stands by you
When nothing goes right.

And willingly talks
Till they somehow
Just vanish from sight.

And whether you're neighbors
Or live miles apart,
A word from a friend gives a lift
To your heart and spirit.
That shows you once more Why friendship is life's dearest gift!

Love is what you feel for me and you

Posted by maneesh On July - 7 - 2010

Love is a thing shared by two
Love is what you feel for me and you
Love is precious when its shared
Love is danger when its dared

Love wanders and searches for the one
Love plays and just do it for fun
Love lets you hear love songs to emote
Love lets you make sweet poems & a quote

Love makes the world go around
Love makes us happy if the one we love is finally found
Love turns the world upside down
Love cheers us never with a frown

Love makes you cry
Love sacrifices and says goodbye
Love has its own reason and time
Love can make someone you love "mine"

Love makes a person kiss
Love makes a person miss
Love is experienced by all
Love conquers when you fall.
