'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but they whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves their conduct, will pursue their principles unto death. Leonardo da Vinci – Leonardo Da VinciRate it:
The whole wire system of the brain could be disconnected in a spark of a second by a sometimes unsignificant detail. An unexpected incident or an innocuous phone call may provoke an ethereal distress that might plunge one’s life into chaos and like a sudden twist of fate overturn everything, ransacking the assembled experiences of our history. (“Alors, tout a basculé”) – Erik PevernagieRate it:

I never saw a wreck and never have been wrecked nor was I ever in any predicament that threatened to end in disaster of any sort. – E. J. Smith, 1907, Captain, RMS TitanicRate it:
The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly it is dearness only that gives everything its value.

Affluence brings a great influence on the person itself as well as on the onlookers. However, when it is in limit, it is boon for you as well as for others. But, when exceeded beyond limits; it becomes curse for both the parties. At the times of prosperity, we often start misusing the things. This gives rise to our inner devil. However, the worst part is that we didn't even realize what suffering we are afflicting on others. Always remember, luxury attained by causing trouble or distress to others, can't be cherished for a longer period of time. – Prashant AgarwalRate it:

F. MeekinRate it:

Anybody we see in distress who is treated unfairly. – David FurnishRate it:
Approvals should be a seamless process and anything between two to four weeks could still be bearable, sectors which are already under severe financial distress and do not concern national security should also receive faster approvals. – Dipti Lavya SwainRate it:
