Means that everyone should spend more time in preparation because it makes the actual task easier because of preparation. The quote can be related to the historic event the attack on Pearl Harbor because after that. President Franklin D. Roosevelt passes the executive order 9066 which was unconstitutional because it violated the rights of the Japanese citizens because they lost their liberty without a fair trial. Next this quote can be connected to literature through the novel Lord of the flies By William Golding. This novel relates to the quote because the quote was all about preparation and it seems like most of the characters from lord of the files were prepared for whatever that was…
This saying, quoted by Mustapha Mond, instructs his citizens to disregard the painful lessons of history and to ignore the past in order to focus on future progress. Society disregards history because if people understood what came before, they might not less willing to put their trust in science and progress. History is "bunk," as Mond says, because it revolves around human frailties and emotions such as love, anger, vengeance, and temptation. Such things are no longer part of the human experience and, according to Mond, have no place in a society built around maximizing…
In the novel Snow Falling on Cedars by David Guterson, there are several character that can relate to this quote, some of them did not stay true to the person they claimed to be and other did hold on tight to their beliefs. One of the characters that did stay true to himself in times of hardship was Kabuo Miyamoto. Kabuo is a Japanese…

Checks and balances were created by our founding fathers to create a fair well established republic and have a separation of power. There are three branches of the government the Legislative branch, Executive branch and Judicial branch. These branches were created to check each other and for no one to have total power. Each branch has certain responsibilities that are stated by the first three articles of the Constitution. I believe this type of government works.…

embodies a persistent characteristic, and that’s the word I use to describe myself. To me, the quote is saying, you may only have one chance to do something right. Why wait till later, if you live to see, to make things right, when you can do it now. There is no reason not to fulfill it at that time.…
The quotation assumes significant application to the present state of affairs. The man today is passing through a period of miserable existence. The days of darkness and frustration constitute the life of man. The world today is collapsing into a helpless state of boredom. The weariness, fret and fever of life have made man to deduce, "where but to think is to be full of sorrow". We are crumbling under the mounting pressure of defeatism and self-frustration. Today various factors of life have made man morbidly tired of himself. In the midst of intellectual, moral and spiritual bankruptcy, the forces of optimism though bleak, appear to be the only sustaining force. We in our frustration are made to think that life is not entirely devoid of joy and happiness. It is wrong on our part to lose faith in the ultimate goodness of things. We must realize that in the course of life good and evil days follow in succession. Each follows the other as night follows the day. Indeed, it is human nature to welcome joys and condemn sorrows. But we must bear sufferings with patience and fortitude in the hope that as spring…
The quote got me thinking really hard. What does it exactly mean? After a while I understood what it meant. It started to get pretty obvious. The meaning behind the quote is that life is not always fair as you want it, and we just have to live with that. You got to keep on moving, and be happy with what you got, because you cannot change that. If you follow those guidelines, then I am almost positive that you will find happiness in the nearest future. It will feel meaningless and unfair at the start sometimes, of course. I can understand that life is hard when everything is not fair. But, you got…
A stone that remains at place for a long time without motion gets covered with moss. But a stone that rolls constantly does not gather any moss. Similarly, a person who keeps changing his place, profession or course of study, does not gain any experience or knowledge. A person who constantly shifts his residence from place to place will not have a constant friends or neighbours to know and love him. Whatever be his capabilities, he will take time to establish his reputation and win people’s confidence at a new place. Such a person does not have any affinity to anyone or anything. Just as moss covers a settled stone and makes it soft and beautiful, a man who is settled in life gets people to love and to be loved. In the same way, a person who frequently changes his occupation will not gain a steady, established position. A man who lacks determination does not stick to anything. He loiters in the world aimlessly, if a student keeps changing his course of study from physics to literature, from literature to music and so on, he cannot acquire through knowledge in any field. We should have a specific aim in life and work constantly for it with a strength of character. Thus the message conveyed by the proverb is that steadiness of purpose is the key to success.…
Basically this means that you will only ever succeed if you try and succeed. Success has a simple formula, and that's a combination of effort and determination. Combine the two and only then you will have the ability, or chance, to succeed. If you spend your life wishing that something will happen without trying to make it happen then you will never be able to succeed in anything. Those who 'will and dare' are the people that do things and take chances. The people that do things and take chances are the ones who give themselves the opportunity to be able to do something and get in the position to succeed.…
Zsfbhmzd jasgddb jasdhf dhhga jjh bfasdgh fjda hdjhh h nbhds bhadf ad fhdg skjf ksdghf j hg gdkua fiif we think that all the eggs a hen lays will hatch and become chickens, we may be wrong. Some of the eggs may be rotten. Others may get broken or damaged. So we cannot be sure that an off will become a chick until it has hatched. Do not be too optimistic or hopeful about a favorable outcome. We may have o wait forthe results. A flower and a bud are different things although it is the bud that blossoms into the beautiful flower. But until that happens, we cannot say for sure that the bud will become a flower. A naughty boy may pluck it off. Some bird might peck and damage the bud or a strong wind might blow and spoil it. So it is always wise not to lay too much hope on anything that we do until it becomes what we hope. It is good to be optimistic. But too much hoping many bring dejection. The proverb suggests that it is unwise today excess hopes on anything thatOne can plan one’s life as carefully as possible to get the maximum results out of his efforts. One can dream of bigger and better things too, for, to excel is a basic human urge. However, to be overambitious or to plan beyond what reality permits may be foolhardy and counterproductive. A chicken owner may place 20 eggs for incubation, but only less than half may hatch into chicks, other eggs going rotten. If the former had expected all the eggs to hatch into chicks, he was in for disappointment. Real situations hardly match expectations. If men are aware of this reality of life, it will be good for their mental health. Genuine efforts are expected to yield reasonable results, but that may not match…
