"Famous Writings Collections" - Part 7 compiled by Shri. Gopalkrishna Vaidyanathan Iyer (G.V. Iyer)
1) Silence is the safety zone of conversation.
Meaning: Silence is a quality that keeps you safe when the conversation becomes quite toxic or difficult to handle.
2) The most difficult secret for a man to keep is the opinion he has of himself.
Meaning: A man or a woman cannot keep mum when it comes to sharing their strengths, capabilities, and high opinions that they have of themselves.
3) You spend an evening with some people, and with others, you invest it.
Meaning: Some people come into our life who take our time while when we give our time to some people, the conversations become so meaningful and in-depth that we feel like the time has been invested.
4) There is no saint without a past - no sinner without a future.
Meaning: Even a good person with divine qualities has had a bad past that made him do good in the present. Even a person who commits sins in the present can have a good future if he transforms himself to walk on the right path.
5) If you treat a sick child like an adult and a sick adult like a child, everything usually works out pretty well.
Meaning: A sick child usually pretends to be the one who knows it all, thus his parents and relatives should treat him like a grown-up - talk to him respectfully, give him his space, and appreciate him quite often so that he transforms into a good human being. Similarly, a sick adult usually throws tantrums because he feels lonely like a child and wants attention, so he shouldn't be neglected and should be pampered often like a kid in order to get the best out of him.
