Adi, could you list ten quotations by famous people that have inspired or impacted you? Could be Bengali too.
There are surely more than 10 quotes but here are some, that I really like...
1. "Karmani ave adhikaras te
Ma phalesu kadachana
Ma karmaphal hetur bhoo
Ma sangostu akramani"
~ Bhagawad Gita
Translation : You only have the power to act
You do not have the power to influence the outcome
Therefore act without the anticipation of the result
Without succumbing to inaction
2. "A gift is pure when it is given from the heart to the right person at the right time and at the right
place, and when we expect nothing in return" ~ Bhagawad Gita
3. "All created beings are unmanifest in their beginning, manifest in their interim state and
unmanifest again when they are annihilated. So what need is there for lamentation? ~
Bhagawad Gita
4. "Delusion arises from anger. The mind is bewildered by delusion. Reasoning is destroyed
when the mind is bewildered. One falls down when reasoning is destroyed." ~ Bhagavad Gita
5. "It is our own mental attitude which makes the world what it is for us. Our thought make things
beautiful, our thoughts make things ugly. The whole world is in our own minds. Learn to see
things in the proper light. First, believe in this world" ~ Swami Vivekananda
6. "We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are
secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far." ~Swami Vivekananda
7. "But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep, and miles to go before I sleep".
~Robert Frost
8. "Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself." ~Leo Tolstoy
9. "If you love someone, set them free. If they come back they're yours; if they don't they never
were" ~ Richard Bach
10. "You can lead a horse to the water, but you can't make it drink" - idiom
