606_Think
Today's topic is Think.
The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education.
~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see.
~ John Burroughs
Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.
~ Mahatma Gandhi
When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.
~ Marcus Aurelius
The mind is everything. What you think you become.
~ Buddha
I think and think for months and years. Ninety-nine times, the conclusion is false. The hundredth time I am right.
~ Albert Einstein
We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.
~ Buddha
As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.
~ Henry David Thoreau

605_Idea
Today's topic is Idea.
Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.

~ Mahatma Gandhi
All the forces in the world are not so powerful as an idea whose time has come.

When an idea exclusively occupies the mind, it is transformed into an actual physical or mental state.
~ Swami Vivekananda
A healthful hunger for a great idea is the beauty and blessedness of life.
~ Jean Ingelow
Ideas can be life-changing. Sometimes all you need to open the door is just one more good idea.

poet/ lyricist
more on him here
I was keen to read more of his work but in a physical book form (not e-version).
I came across an old one and it has been a brilliant read till date.
A flower poem
Pluck this little flower and take it, delay not! I fear lest it
droop and drop into the dust.
I may not find a place in thy garland, but honour it with a touch of
pain from thy hand and pluck it. I fear lest the day end before I am
aware, and the time of offering go by.
Though its colour be not deep and its smell be faint, use this flower
in thy service and pluck it while there is time.

The crown of literature is poetry.

He made his prophets poets; and the more
We feel of poesie do we become
Like God in love and power,—under-makers.
