Time doesn’t conceal anything, it tells the future what you did in the past, so prepare well in order to score extra marks.

It’s not the depth of your intellect that will comfort you or transform your world. Only the richness of your heart and your generosity of spirit can do that

One of the most remarkable contributions of humans to the world is our capacity for ideas.

We can do away with ignorance, if we take it upon ourselves to encourage each other to use our intelligence.

I cannot, however, but think that the world would be better and brighter if our teachers would dwell on the Duty of Happiness as well as the Happiness of Duty; for we ought to be as cheerful as we can, if only because to be happy ourselves is a most effectual contribution to the happiness...

Roots cannot grow into trees if there are no supernatural elements in the soil. Man cannot grow wealthy and famous if he doesn’t contribute to either, the good or evil.

One of the most important things a man must bear in mind is this very thing – that he owes his fellow a transforming encounter.

Every person has a longing to be significant, to make a contribution, to be a part of something noble and purposeful.

We all have an opportunity and responsibility to create a legacy. A legacy which is resilient, sustainable and authentic.” – Jim Cookson, Doctoral Student, Ashridge Business School, UK, August 2014

Each of us is a unique strand in the intricate web of life and here to make a contribution.

Service is providing what’s wanted, not what I’d like to give.

Life is like an extremely toughest examination and so the passing percentage of its students is abysmally low; a person with his 70 % contributions of the true kind deeds has only cleared it with a distinction and that is worth to be deemed as his life’s perfection.

And this is the ultimate lesson that our knowledge of the mode of transmission of typhus has taught us: Man carries on his skin a parasite, the louse. Civilization rids him of it. Should man regress, should he allow himself to resemble a primitive beast, the louse begins to multiply again and treats man as...

Legacy is not what’s left tomorrow when you’re gone. It’s what you give, create, impact and contribute today while you’re here that then happens to live on.

We can all make a difference in the lives of others in need, because it is the most simple of gestures that make the most significant of differences.

Some people are constructive, if you like. Others are destructive. It’s this diversity in humankind that results in some making positive contributions and some negative contributions. It’s necessary to have enough to make positive contributions to overcome the problems of each age.

I look upon ourselves as partners in all of this, and that each of us contributes and does what he can do best. And so I see not a top rung and a bottom rung – I see all this horizontally – and I see this as part of a matrix. And I see every...

To properly do penance one must express contrition for one’s sins and perform acts to repair the damage caused by those transgressions. It is only when those acts are complete that the slate can truly be wiped clean and amnesty gives way to a new beginning.

It is because I know all that science can bring to the world that I shall continue my efforts to ensure that it contributes to the happiness of all men, whether they be white, black, or yellow, and not to their annihilation in the name of some divine mission or other.

When you reveal all you cheat the observer of their contribution.

You are heading towards the top if you raise the bar of your standards inch by inch each hour! There is no quick way to success; it comes in installments. Every day’s activity is a minor contribution to a heavy pay of success. Don’t waste the day!

Finally I was able to see that if I had a contribution I wanted to make, I must do it, despite what others said. That I was OK the way I was. That it was all right to be strong.

Women are not just waiting to be filled up with resources-they’re waiting to put their resources on the table to be able to lead towards a different world

It’s only when we can work with something that brings out our strengths that we’re of any real use.

If one keeps on adapting, their contribution will be limited. Theycan only imitate but never create.

So you have something important to say, so you interrupt an exciting conversation already in progress just to let us know you have nothing to contribute to the discussion. Umm….

Granted, not all uneducated women are prostitutes, and, not all prostitutes are uneducated. However, where building a family is employment, an uneducated woman’s womb is her diploma.

Science contributes to our culture in many ways, as a creative intellectual activity in its own right, as the light which has served to illuminate man’s place in the universe, and as the source of understanding of man’s own nature.

I’d rather strive for the kind of interview where instead of me asking to introduce myself to society, society asks me to introduce myself to society.

Happiness is good, but well-overrated: what we hate most are the very motivators that put us in gear. A man drifts along with little to contribute until something agitates him enough to make a difference, whether for himself or for his communities.

With teamwork, any little contribution you make yields greater output when it meets the contribution of others, and guess who gets the plus? Everyone in the team!

Vulnerable, like all men, to the temptations of arrogance, of which intellectual pride is the worst, he [the scientist] must nevertheless remain sincere and modest, if only because his studies constantly bring home to him that, compared with the gigantic aims of science, his own contribution, no matter how important, is only a drop in...

I was not merely cleaning an oven; I was improving the world.

Every thought, every word, and every action that adds to the positive and the wholesome is a contribution to peace. Each and every one of us is capable of making such a contribution.

Day n night passing by,No tribute, we cannot deny,We did to world’s problems so deep,Not a single sign, to take the leap.Senseless striving for some unknown glory,Too patiently awaiting time for our story.Still haven’t spot that light,That make us seem calm n bright.How to ensure tis time-being,Is not in vain, but commencement of freeing.
