    Yes, Sahaja, even my favorite is the first one.

    Hi Nita, there is one more related quote – "The true character of a person can be gauged by observing what he does, when he has nothing to do".

    Yeah Raj, maybe I could title the next series as "Cool Quotes"?

    The collection is not mine Axina, it is from a friend who has been sending it to me from 2004. The quotes you see here are from the collection from 2005 alone!

    I like your approach of appreciation of truth, pr3na 🙂

    Thanks, Princess.
