Five quotes by Ganpat: The Bent-Double Begger

আলোকচিত্রীঃ কেড মার্টিন

*

If all the troubles in the world could be laid down in one big heap, and everyone was allowed to choose one trouble, we should end up by picking up our old trouble again.

*

In this life all our desires are fulfilled, on the condition that they do not bring the happiness we expected from them.

*

It is difficult to love your enemies. Much simpler not to have enemies.

*

It is difficult to be miserable all the time. Human nature wouldn’t permit it. Even when we are burning or burying our dead, we are thinking of what we will eat or drink later in the day.

*

Chance gives, and takes away, and gives again.

*
