Shah Rukh Khan:

“If you can’t do something bigger and better today, don’t get out of bed!”

'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button':

"You never know what’s coming for you."

Alyque Padamsee:

“If creative people hesitate over the objective of their work, they could end up becoming the advertisement departments of their clients, making only made-to-order campaigns. At the same time, too often a brilliant campaign is lost because one has not been able to talk the language of the client. The run-up is as important as the delivery. But how often have mistakes been committed because proper research was not undertaken.”

Sunila Nagvekar, D.G.Ruparel College:

Troubles are like waves, at times big, at times small.

Few know how to tackle them, most not at all.

The small ones are routine, fizzling out like bubbles,

The big ones require patience and mettle,

While some, with a little fate are scuttles.

Occasionally, a giant one comes along,

Taking everyone in a throng;

All perish, but one,

And this sole survivor restarts, despite the pain,

Armed with an experience and a confidence gain,

To challenge them once again.

Sarosh Dastoor:

“If you want to impose the maximum mental irritation and anguish on others, simply ignore them. You might bug or bother them a little in the other ways, but if you want to really scar others emotionally and mentally, just ignore them completely… Though, unfortunately, these tactics never work for the long run. Big people are big because they do not carry grudges, resentments and subdued hatred. The psychiatrists’ offices are filled with little people, however, who are carrying grudges, animosities, jealousies and repressed angers… Be nicest to others when you feel least like it. Quite a challenge, but that is exactly what the big people were doing that made them big. They were being nicest to people when they were least expected to.”

The critic in 'Ratatouille':

“Not everyone can be a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere.”

The Road Not Taken. By Robert Frost:

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveller, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

 

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim

Because it was grassy and wanted wear,

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

 

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I marked the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way

I doubted if I should ever come back.

 

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,

I took the one less travelled by,

And that has made all the difference.

Dilip Thakore:

“Fortunately, I have been lucky never to have contacted this peculiarly Indian disease. As editor of Business India, Business World and several other publications, I often had to put in 14-15 hours a day. But I always made it a point to answer any letters, return telephone calls and keep up appointments, no matter how busy I may have been. And my experience has been that observing this business courtesy paid handsome dividends. They landed me some of my biggest stories and most valuable information – often in a roundabout manner.”

Anonymous:

“What can you do with 7 billion what you can't do with 4?”

“Hold a record.”

Napoleon Hill:

“The moment you commit and quit holding back, all sorts of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance will rise up to help you. The simple act of commitment is a powerful magnet for help!”

Dr. Robert H.Schuller:

“Nobody is a total failure if he dares to try to do something worthwhile.”

‘Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar’:

“Woh sikandar hi doston kehlaata hai,

Haari baazi ko jeetna, jise aata hai,

Niklenge maidan mein, jis din hum jhoomke,

Dharti dolegi ye kadam choomke…

Nahin samjhe hai woh humein, toh kya jaata hai

Haari baazi ko jeetna humein aata hai...”

Sahir Ludhianvi’s lyrics for ‘Kala Pathar’:

“Ek  raasta hai zindagi, jo tham gaye toh kuch nahin. Yeh kadam kisi mukaam pe, jo jam gaye toh kuch nahin.’

William Blake:

“He who binds himself a joy, does the winged life, destroy. He who kisses the joy as it flies, lives in eternity's sunrise”. 

Amitabh Bachchan:

"Life is a struggle. Everyday you have to prove yourself. The day you stop, you are as good as dead."

Tinnu Anand in 'Monica':

“To play the right tune, you need to know which flute to pick.”

Ingmar Bergman:

“Making a movie is like climbing a mountain. The higher you get, the more tired and breathless you become, but your view becomes more extensive.”

E.B.White:

“Genius is more often found in a cracked pot than in a whole one.”

Rabindranath Tagore:

“If you shut your doors to all errors, truth will be shut out.”
