Life Lessons Quote by James Baldwin — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Whose little boy are you?”

“The universe, which is not merely the stars and the moon and the planets, flowers, grass and trees, but other people, has evolved no terms for your existence, has made no room for you, and if love will not swing wide the gates, no other power will or can. And if one despairs-- as who has not?-- of human love, God's love alone is left.”

“The role of the artist is exactly the same as the role of the lover. If I love you, I have to make you conscious of the things you don’t see.”

“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist.”

“Of course, I must say that I don't think America is God's gift to anybody--if it is, God's days have”

“It seems to me that one ought to rejoice in the fact of death-- ought to decide, indeed, to earn one's death by confronting with passion the conundrum of life. One is responsible to life: It is the small beacon in that terrifying darkness from which we come and to which we shall return. One must negotiate this passage as nobly as possible, for the sake of those who are coming after us.”

“Life on the run was filled with dreams, some at night during sleep, real dreams, and some when the mind was awake but drifting. Most were terrifying, the nightmares of the shadows growing bolder and larger. Others were pleasant wishes of a rosy future, free of the past. These were rare, Patrick had learned. Life on the run was life in the past. There was no closure”

“तुम जितना मिट्टी से खेलेगी, उतनी ही मजबूत बनोगी। माटी तुम्हें अपने जैसा बना देगी। देखो, भोजन पकाने का तापमान धातु सहन कर सकती है मगर मजबूत से मजबूत धातु को पिघलने के लिए मिट्टी के बर्तन का प्रयोग किया जाता है। यानी हमेशा सरल बनी रहना मगर मजबूती सबसे अधिक रखना। ऐसा तभी होगा जब तुम माटी का स्वभाव समझने लगोगी।" पापा ने कहा था।”

“As you end each day, ask yourself what steps you took that contributed to your path to success. What else can you do tomorrow to make significant progress? Diligence without reflection on your performance can be counterproductive to your success. Reflection is a key to growth and improvement. It helps you identify your strengths and areas that still require improvement. It also motivates you to set new goals and re-plan for progress.”

“Let us share love, give hope, render help and offer assistance in whatever way we can to one another, remembering that we all are joint citizens of the earth.”

“If a man fights with truth, in time, he will be victorious. If he fights with lies, after he is exposed; in time, he will be left alone.”
