Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man  to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.

The one who pursues revenge should dig two graves.

Enough shovels of earth, a mountain. Enough pails of  water, a river.

One step at a time is good walking.

To be uncertain is to be uncomfortable, but to be certain  is to be ridiculous.

Medicine can only cure curable diseases, and then not  always.

Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner  everywhere.

Heaven has a road, but no one travels it; Hell has no  gate but men will dig to get there.

A thorn defends the rose, harming only those who would  steal the blossom.

A wise man makes his own decisions, an ignorant man  follows the public opinion.

He who cannot agree with his enemies is controlled by  them.

In a broken nest there are few whole eggs. 

Behind every able man, there are always other able men.

Men grow old, pearls grow yellow, there is no cure for  it.

A truly great man never puts away the simplicity of a  child.

Respect for ones parents is the highest duty of civil  life.

Beauty is the wisdom of women. Wisdom is the beauty of  men.

Heaven lent you a soul Earth will lend a grave.

The palest ink is better than the best memory.

To attract good fortune, spend a new penny on an old  friend, share an old pleasure with a new friend and lift  up the heart of a true friend by writing his name on the  wings of a dragon.

Outside noisy, inside empty.

A single conversation with a wise man is worth a month's  study of books.

He who treads softly goes far.

He who could foresee affairs three days in advance would  be rich for thousands of years.

Ranbir was the first choice of the company because of his endearing and mischievous personality claim sources close to the actor.

Moreover, now that they are

In the midst of great joy, do not promise anyone  anything. In the midst of great anger, do not answer  anyone 's letter.

The journey is the reward.

Parents who are afraid to put their foot down usually  have children who step on their toes.

Deep doubts, deep wisdom; small doubts, little wisdom.

Who is not satisfied with himself will grow; who is not  sure of his own correctness will learn many things.

Of all the thirty-six alternatives, running away is best.

If your strength is small, don't carry heavy burdens. If  your words are worthless, don't give advice.

Great souls have wills; feeble ones have only wishes.

To believe in one's dreams is to spend all of one's life  asleep.

Man who waits for roast duck to fly into mouth must wait  very, very long time.

He who sacrifices his conscience to ambition burns a  picture to obtain the ashes.

The woman who tells her age is either too young to have  anything to lose or too old to have anything to gain.

If we do not change our direction, we are likely to end  up where we are headed.

Look for a thing until you find it and you'll not lose  your labor.

Insanity is doing the same thing in the same way and  expecting a different outcome.

Forethought is easy, repentance hard.

Quarreling is like cutting water with a sword.

Pleasure for one hour, a bottle of wine. Pleasure for one  year a marriage; but pleasure for a lifetime, a garden.

Going beyond is as bad as falling short.

Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day. Teach him how  to fish and he'll eat forever.

One joy scatters a hundred griefs.

A diamond with a flaw is better than a common stone that is perfect.

A great fortune  depends on luck, a small one on  diligence.

Better to light a candle than to curse the darkness.

You cannot prevent the birds of sorrow from flying over your head, but you can prevent them from building nests in your hair.

Bullett Raja has flopped at the box office. After taking a barely average start at the box office, the film didn't show much of a growth over the weekend. The weekdays saw further dip in collections, hence making it crystal clear that neither was audience much excited about stepping in while those who eventually did weren't quite enthusiastic in sharing positive word of mouth. Eventually, it turned out to be a 'thanda' affair at the box office with just about 35 crore coming at the end of first week. Now these are the kind of collections that should have ideally been accumulated by the film over the weekend! The verdict was more or less out soon after the film released and as a result the promotional effort too came to a standstill. Saif, who doesn't believe in over-promoting a film when the writing is clear on the wall, went silent. Sonakshi moved on to R... Rajkumar. Jimmy was busy with shooting of his films and Tigmanshu wasn't heard much either. As a result...

Aamir Khan , who has flaunted his tap dance skills in the Dhoom Tap, has been receiving rave reviews for it. However, Aamir worked really hard to get the steps right. Aamir learnt the dance form from professional Australian tap dancer and choreographer Dein Perry, who had choreographed the Sydney Olympics opening act and Happy Feet 2.

Khan spent a while in Australia and learnt the dance form with the Perry's dance students, who were between the age group of 10-24. After Aamir trained extensively in Australia, Dein came to India, along with his dance troupe, to choreograph the song.

After the training was done the dance team came to India to shoot the song." Directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya, D...

Habits are cobwebs at first; cables at last.

If you plan for one year, plant rice. If you plan for ten years, plant trees. If you plan for 100 years, educate mankind.

I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.

If your strength is small, don't carry heavy burdens. If your words are worthless, don't give advice. 

With true friends . . . even water drunk together is sweet enough.

A clever person turns great troubles into little ones and little ones into none at all.

 If a man fools me once, shame on him. If he fools me twice, shame on me.

A hundred men may make an encampment, but it takes a woman to make a home.

Heaven has a road, but no one travels it; Hell has no gate but men will dig to get there.

If you must play, decide upon three things at the start: the rules of the game, the stakes, and the quitting time.

If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape a hundred days of sorrow.

When you have only two pennies left in the world, buy a loaf of bread with one, and a lily with the other.

When you drink the water, remember the spring.

To know the road ahead, ask those coming back.

The palest ink is better than the best memory.

The miracle is not to fly in the air, or to walk on the water; but to walk on the earth.

The gem cannot be polished without friction, nor man perfected without trials.

Teachers open the door. You enter by yourself.

Raise your sail one foot and you get ten feet of wind.
