Fear
"The efficiency of the administration depends on the efficiency of the civil servants."
...."Especially important it is to realise that there can be no assured peace and tranquility of any one nation except as it is achieved for all.
"So long as want, frustration and a sense of injustice prevail among significant sections of the Earth, no other section can be wholly released from fear."

"Anger is a condition in which the tongue works faster than the mind.
You can't change the past, but you can ruin the present by worrying over the future.
The darkest moment of the night is just before dawn.
Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, half shut afterwards.
All people smile in the same language.
A hug is a great gift... one size fits all. It can be given for any occasion and it's easy to exchange.
Everyone needs to be loved...especially when they do not deserve it.
The real measure of a man's wealth is what he has invested in eternity.
Love...and you shall be loved.
Everyone has beauty but not everyone sees it.
It's important for parents to live the same things they teach.
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.
If you fill your heart with regrets of yesterday and the worries of tomorrow, you have no today to be thankful for.
Marriage is like a game of compromise. When either one of the players stops compromising, the game is about to end.
The choice you make today will usually affect tomorrow.
Take time to laugh, for it is the music of the soul.
If anyone speaks badly of you, live so none will believe it.
Patience is the ability to idle your motor when you feel like stripping your gears.
Love is strengthened by working through conflicts together.
The best thing parents can do for their children is to love each other.
Harsh words break no bones but they do break hearts.
To get out of a difficulty, one usually must go through it.
We take for granted the things that we should be giving thanks for.
Love is the only thing that can be divided without being diminished.
Happiness is enhanced by others but does not depend upon others.
For every minute you are angry with someone, you lose 60 seconds of happiness that you can never get back.
Do what you can, for who you can, with what you have, and where you are."

Ana Ivanovic
Tennis player Ana Ivanovic's observation on present day competition is not only apt on the Tennis court but also in other spheres of life.
"There is really not much friendship between the girls on tour. There's so much rivalry and jealousy, so everyone just hangs out in their own camp. In the Locker room and players' lounge you can feel the jealousy.
"It's a shame, because it would be so nice if we could catch up over dinner or go shopping. But, sadly, I have no close friends on the tour," observed the Tennis star.
Ivanovic can take a famous quote of Mahatma Gandhi and try to spread among her Tennis fraternity.
"Bury the jealousies underground and cremate them whereever you like."

Federer
Congrats !
Tennis superstar Roger Federer has proved that there is always time for new beginnings.
Despite losing Rafael Nadal in the 2008 French Open and being bumped off in the Wimbledon and the Australian open there after, Federer won his 15th Grand Slam in just 7 years----a remarkable feature that the indomitable Rod Laver, Bjorn Borg, John McEnroe, Jimmy Conners and Pete Sampras could not achieve in their careers.
