[www.keralites.net] A RAY OF HOPE AND LIGHT

 

A ray of hope and light

Once Wealth and Poverty approached a merchant and introduced themselves as Goddesses. The merchant offered his salutations to both of them and said: "May I know what brings you to my humble tenement?" The Goddess of Wealth said: "We want you to judge and tell us as to who is more beautiful between us two?"

The merchant was in a fix. He knew he was between the devil and the deep sea. If he were to declare wealth as more beautiful than poverty, poverty would curse him. If he were to declare poverty as more beautiful, than wealth, wealth would forsake him. However, he regained his composure and said: "I have great respect for you both. Would you please act according to my instructions? Then only I can judge properly." The Goddesses agreed. He said: "Mother wealth, would you please go to the entrance (gates) and walk into the house? Mother, poverty! Would you please walk from here towards the gates? I can have a good look at you both, from near and far." The two Goddesses did walk as the merchant wished them to. Then the merchant happily declared: "Mother wealth! You appear very beautiful when you enter the house. Mother poverty! You look very beautiful when you leave the house!" The Goddesses appreciated the wit and wisdom of the merchant. The Goddess of wealth happily stayed in his house while the Goddess of poverty cheerfully walked away.

When a serious problem confronts us, if we look within and think calmly, a ray of hope and light will beam forth and show us the way.

All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope. Winston Churchill

Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable - a most sacred right - a right, which we hope and believe, is to liberate the world. Abraham Lincoln

All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother. Abraham Lincoln

What is true of the individual will be tomorrow true of the whole nation if individuals will but refuse to lose heart and hope. M.K. Gandhi

We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope. Martin Luther King, Jr.

The hope of a secure and livable world lies with disciplined nonconformists
who are dedicated to justice, peace and brotherhood. Martin Luther King, Jr.
I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not
judge the universe. Dalai Lama

Hope is the most exciting thing in life and if you honestly believe that love is out there, it will come. And even if it doesn't come straight away there is still that chance all through your life that it will.

Never let go of hope. One day you will see that it all has finally come together. What you have always wished for has finally come to be. You will look back and laugh at what has passed and you will ask yourself... 'How did I get through all of that?

When you say a situation or a person is hopeless, you are slamming the door in the face of God.

Man can live about forty days without food, about three days without water, about eight minutes without air, but only for one second without hope

What oxygen is to the lungs, such is hope to the meaning of life

Where there's life, there's hope.
