VOLTAIRE: SINT PUTIN SURD...

_____________________________________________
O atitudine pozitiva poate ca nu-ti rezolva toate problemele, dar o sa indispuna destui oameni sa isi merite efortul!

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
-Herm Albright
……………….
Eram necajit pentruca n-aveam pantofi, pina ce, in strada, am intilnit un om fara picioare.

I had the blues because I had no shoes until upon the street, I met a man who had no feet.
-Ancient Persian Saying
…………………..
Binecuvintat omul care nu asteapta nimic, pentruca nu va fi niciodata dezamagit.

Blessed is he who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed.
-Attributed to both Jonathan Swift & Benjamin Franklin
……………
Nedreptatea nu-ti poate face nimic, daca n-o sa continui sa iti amintesti de ea.

To be wronged is nothing unless you continue to remember it.
-Confucius
…………..
Asteptarile vor da gres, acolo unde promisiunile sint prea mari.

Oft expectation fails, and most oft there
Where most it promises.
-Shakespeare
……………….
Testul pentru inteligenta de prima clasa este abilitatea de-a putea retine in minte doua idei opuse in acelasi timp fara a pierde abilitatea de-a functiona. Ai putea, de exemplu sa fi in stare sa vezi ca situatia este fara sanse si cu toate astea sa fi determinat sa schimbi situatia.

The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function. One should, for example, be able to see that things are hopeless and yet be determined to make them otherwise.
-F. Scott Fitzgerald
………………
Sint un pic surd, un pic orb, un pic impotent, si peste astea inca citeva infirmitati detestabile, dar nimic nu-mi distruge speranta.

I am a little deaf, a little blind, a little impotent, and on top of this are two or three abominable infirmities, but nothing destroys my hope.
-Voltaire
………………..
Daca tot a luat foc casa, hai cel putin sa ne incalzim.

Since the house is on fire let us warm ourselves
-Italian Proverb
………………
Puterea fizica se masoara cu cit putem duce, cea spirituala cu cit putem rabda.

Physical strength is measured by what we can carry; spiritual by what we can bear.
-Author Unknown
…………………….
Sint sigur ca nimic nu are o influenta atit de decisiva asupra cursului vietii unui om cum o are aparenta lui fizica, si nu atit aparenta reala cit ceea ce crede el despre cit este de atragator sau neatragator.

I am sure that nothing has such a decisive influence upon a man's course as his personal appearance, and not so much his appearance as his belief in its attractiveness or unattractiveness.
-Leo Tolstoy
……………..
Imposibil, este un cuvint care se gaseste numai in dictionarul nebunilor.

Impossible is a word only to be found in the dictionary of fools.
-Napoleon
………….
Sa bolborosesti si sa fi nemultumit nu ajuta la nimic;
E mai ieftin si mai usor sa te bucuri;
Cind Dumnezeu vrea sa trimita ploaie -
Pai…aia-I si alegerea mea.

It is no use to grumble and complain;
It's just as cheap and easy to rejoice;
When G_d sorts ou the weather and sends rain-
Why, rain's my choice.
-James Whitcomb Riley
……………………
Oamenii nu realizeaza adesea ca dindu-si parerea despre lume isi spovedesc de fapt caracterul.

People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
…………….
Intoarce-ti fata catre soare si umbrele vor fi inapoia ta.

Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you.
-Maori Proverb
……………..
In zilele cind nu ai un cint in inima…cinta oricum.

Some days there won't be a song in your heart. Sing anyways.
-Emory Austin
