Today's topic is Arnold Schwarzeneggar.

Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.
~ Arnold Schwarzenegger
The resistance that you fight physically in the gym and the resistance that you fight in life can only build a strong character.
~ Arnold Schwarzenegger
The writing is important, but the way you say the line and the pause you give it, the facial expression - all of that is very important.
~ Arnold Schwarzenegger
The worst thing I can be is the same as everybody else. I hate that.
~ Arnold Schwarzenegger
The mind is the limit. As long as the mind can envision the fact that you can do something, you can do it, as long as you really believe 100 percent.
~ Arnold Schwarzenegger
Money doesn't make you happy. I now have $50 million but I was just as happy when I had $48 million.
~ Arnold Schwarzenegger
Failure is not an option. Everyone has to succeed.
~ Arnold Schwarzenegger
I knew I was a winner back in the late sixties. I knew I was destined for great things. People will say that kind of thinking is totally immodest. I agree. Modesty is not a word that applies to me in any way - I hope it never will.
~ Arnold Schwarzenegger
Help others and give something back. I guarantee you will discover that while public service improves the lives and the world around you, its greatest reward is the enrichment and new meaning it will bring your own life.
~ Arnold Schwarzenegger
It's simple, if it jiggles, it's fat.
~ Arnold Schwarzenegger
For me life is continuously being hungry. The meaning of life is not simply to exist, to survive, but to move ahead, to go up, to achieve, to conquer.
~ Arnold Schwarzenegger
Milk is for babies. When you grow up you have to drink beer.
~ Arnold Schwarzenegger
Bodybuilding is much like any other sport. To be successful, you must dedicate yourself 100% to your training, diet and mental approach.
~ Arnold Schwarzenegger
Training gives us an outlet for suppressed energies created by stress and thus tones the spirit just as exercise conditions the body.
~ Arnold Schwarzenegger
What we face may look insurmountable. But I learned something from all those years of training and competing. I learned something from all those sets and reps when I didn't think I could lift another ounce of weight. What I learned is that we are always stronger than we know.
~ Arnold Schwarzenegger

I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.

A man who is good enough to shed his blood for the country is good enough to be given a square deal afterwards.

Music is in my DNA!

I've always belonged to the street, and I always will. It's in my DNA.
~ Javier Bardem
I need to have my hands on the DNA of a film.
~ Kathryn Bigelow
Whenever societies do well, they believe that there is something in their cultural DNA that made it happen.
~ Fareed Zakaria
We live in a dancing matrix of viruses; they dart, rather like bees, from organism to organism, from plant to insect to mammal to me and back again, and into the sea, tugging along pieces of this genome, strings of genes from that, transplanting grafts of DNA, passing around heredity as though at a great party.
~ Lewis Thomas
With time, fashion has become part of my DNA.
~ Roberto Cavalli
With genetic engineering, we will be able to increase the complexity of our DNA, and improve the human race. But it will be a slow process, because one will have to wait about 18 years to see the effect of changes to the genetic code.
~ Stephen Hawking
At the deepest level, all living things that have ever been looked at have the same DNA code. And many of the same genes.
~ Richard Dawkins

Rosalind Franklin
J. D. Bernal called her X-ray photographs of DNA,
"the most beautiful X-ray photographs of any substance ever taken."
She was a remarkable woman.
A role model for those who want to pursue science.
Rosalind Franklin, whose contribution to the Double Helix structure of the DNA went unrecognised.
I have depicted her looking at the X-Ray crystallographic image of DNA and the idea of a double helix forming in her mind. (The eventual winners of the Nobel Prize stole her X-Ray films and came up with the structure according to some accounts. Ref: "Double Helix" by Watson and a Biography of Rosalind Franklin by Brenda Maddox, for instance)
624_Rosalind Franklin
Today's topic is Rosalind Franklin.
25th July was Rosalind Franklin's birthday. More about Rosalind HERE.

623_Jim Corbett
Today's topic is Jim Corbett.
Today is Jim Corbett's birthday. More HERE.
A tiger is a large-hearted gentleman with boundless courage and that when he is exterminated - as exterminated he will be unless public opinion rallies to his support - India will be the poorer by having lost the finest of her fauna.
~ Jim Corbett
Tigers, except when wounded or when man-eaters, are on the whole very good-tempered...Occassionally a tiger will object to too close an approach to its cubs or to a kill that it is guarding. The objection invariably takes the form of growling, and if this does not prove effective itis followed by short rushes accompanied by terrifying roars. If these warnings are disregarded, the blame for any injury inflicted rests entirely with the intruder.
~ Jim Corbett
I had spent many nights in the jungle looking for game, but this was the first time I had ever spent a night looking for a man-eater. The length of road immediately in front of me was brilliantly lit by the moon, but to right and left the overhanging trees cast dark shadows, and when the night wind agitated the branches and the shadows moved, I saw a dozen tigers advancing on me, and bitterly regretted the impulse that had induced me to place myself at the man-eater's mercy. I lacked the courage to return to the village and admit I was too frightened to carry out my self-imposed task, and with teeth chattering, as much from fear as from cold, I sat out the long night. As the grey dawn was lighting up the snowy range which I
was facing, I rested my head on my drawn-up knees, and it was in this position my men an hour later found me fast asleep; of the tiger I had neither heard nor seen anything.
~ Jim Corbett, champawat man-eater

622_Hunter
Today's topic is Hunter.
I've always said I want a farmer, not a hunter. Hunters go for the kill and they move on. A farmer nurtures; he watches things grow.
~ Eva Longoria
It is thought that the changeover from hunter to farmer was a slow, gradual process.
~ Stephen Gardiner
I've seen a dead body, I've seen some pretty gruesome fist fights, I've been a hunter since I was a child, though I don't anymore, I've gutted wild game.
~ George Eads
Who gets the bird, the hunter or the dog?
~ John Lewis
In reality, I don't see myself as a man hunter. In fact, when it comes to love, I am rarely the one to make the first move.
~ Carla Bruni
The masculine energy was about survival. The male was the hunter who risked his life and had to be in the fight-flight mode.
~ Deepak Chopra
Vegetarian - that's an old Indian word meaning lousy hunter.
~ Andy Rooney

Stripey Royal Beasts
I had a chance to visit Ranthambore tiger reserve last december. We didn't get to see any tigers then because of it being off season for tiger spotting. But we came very close to one, we could hear a deer giving warning signals to other animals. Those few moments we waited quietly and gripped in suspense if the tiger would come face to face with us next second. As they say sometimes fantasy is better than the real thing. Hope to see it someday!
Wild tiger
Leave the wildlife alone!
Dont see them, dont hunt,
dont capture them to eat, wear, cure illness or display in zoos.
Do not show off to your circle that you spotted/didnt spot one.
Dont even try and protect them or they will vanish for sure.
Dont enter the dense forest at all or cut down their tree-cover.
Thats what makes them WILD.
They are off limits...let me repeat OFF-LIMITS.
If you want to see them so desperately, google.

~ Konrad Adenauer
I was a tiger, a good fighter, in good shape, but I was always nervous before boxing matches.

~ George Bernard Shaw

620_Clay
Today's topic is Clay.
The reproduction of mankind is a great marvel and mystery. Had God consulted me in the matter, I should have advised him to continue the generation of the species by fashioning them out of clay.
~ Martin Luther
I am a hidden meaning made to defy. The grasp of words, and walk away With free will and destiny. As living, revolutionary clay.
~ Muhammad Iqbal
The earth is rocky and full of roots; it's clay, and it seems doomed and polluted, but you dig little holes for the ugly shriveled bulbs, throw in a handful of poppy seeds, and cover it all over, and you know you'll never see it again - it's death and clay and shrivel, and your hands are nicked from the rocks, your nails black with soil.
~ Anne Lamott
It is very hard for me to switch from clay to grass.
~ Marat Safin
My mom's the one I look up to for everything. I feel like I'm a lump of clay and she's moulding me into a woman.
~ Chloe Grace Moretz
One has to be able to twist and change and distort characters, play with them like clay, so everything fits together. Real people don't permit you to do that.
~ Peter Carey
I like doing clay work. It's different from drawing on a page because you have something to mold into different shapes. It's quite visual, it's a thing you can hold and feel, and that makes it different from drawing.
~ Bonnie Wright

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing... not healing, not curing... that is a friend who cares.
~ Henri Nouwen
A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.

I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.
~ Nelson Mandela
Let there be work, bread, water and salt for all.

A good leader can engage in a debate frankly and thoroughly, knowing that at the end he and the other side must be closer, and thus emerge stronger. You don't have that idea when you are arrogant, superficial, and uninformed.

I detest racialism, because I regard it as a barbaric thing, whether it comes from a black man or a white man.
