Book Description

Noting down quotations that I liked has been a habit of mine since my university days. I kept writing whenever some quotation attracted my attention. During this long period, I also wrote some and later shortlisted what appealed most. Thus, this exercise continued at a slow pace as part of my hobby for leisure time. After retirement from service in the Indian Council of Agricultural Research, Govt. of India, I compiled them and had a relook. Some more quotations of lesser liking were screened out. These were then clubbed into relevant headings and sub-headings for quick searches. A desire to group all of these together prompted me to get it published. Though the major part covers quotations in English, a small part collected from Hindi literature is also put under the same cover. Since it was a long period of leisure exercise, there might be some quotations where the name of the author is not shown. This might be due to the fact that the source from where I collected such references that might have not been there. I have also written quotations and notes. Profound quotations are motivational mantras that enlighten our minds and enthuse our hearts. They are packed with wisdom and experience of age. They are learning from what the world’s wisest have said about a specific subject. I hope the readers will find it interesting and useful on one or more subjects covered in this publication.
