The cow is nature’s sign that shows how to live in this world. We may take in ‘grass’; but we must give out ‘milk.’ Even when people wrong us, we are required to convert that wrong into a right. Even when we are beset by adversity, we are required to turn it to good account.

The really important thing in life is to make a proper start. When a man is willing to start his journey from the right point every step amounts to making progress. Nothing then can stop him from reaching his goal.
Those who only know what they want and go all out to achieve it irrespective of others’ needs, will find their path through life strewn with obstacles and pitfalls, and it will be little wonder if they come to grief.
