Celebrated Funeral Multitudes Rite Should Slaying Sorrow Victory

Laozi
Chinese - Philosopher
604 BC - 531 BC

Every victory accomplished with weapons is a funeral that should be mourned.

Wayne Dyer

I've found that South Africa has produced good leaders. These are people who realize that when there is danger, they should be in the forefront and when there is victory to be celebrated, they should be in the background, allowing their colleagues and the ordinary civilians - the man in the street - to rejoice and to celebrate that victory.

Nelson Mandela

When many people are killed, they should be mourned and lamented. Those who are victorious in war should follow the rites of funerals.

Laozi

Don't try and mimic men - how they operate, how they do business, how they direct, write or are creative. They are not perfect. Women do it all differently, and that should be celebrated. We believe in collaboration, we are empathetic and sympathetic and we do tend to connect to stories and people on a different level. And this should all be celebrated.

Pietra Brettkelly

Arms are instruments of ill omen.... When one is compelled to use them, it is best to do so without relish. There is no glory in victory, and to glorify it despite this is to exult in the killing of men.... When great numbers of people are killed, one should weep over them with sorrow. When victorious in war, one should observe mourning rites.

Laozi

O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? Where, indeed. Many a badly stung survivor, faced with the aftermath of some relative's funeral, has ruefully concluded that the victory has been won hands down by a funeral establishment - in disastrously unequal battle.

Jessica Mitford

Emotion, whether of ridicule, anger, or sorrow,--whether raised at a puppet show, a funeral, or a battle,--is your grandest of levellers. The man who would be always superior should be always apathetic.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton

It would be better for me ... that multitudes of men should disagree with me rather than that I, being one, should be out of harmony with myself.

Plato

Sorrow for sin should be the keenest sorrow; joy in the Lord should be the loftiest joy.

Charles Spurgeon

To say that we have a clear conscience is to utter a solecism; had we never sinned we should have had no conscience. Were defeat unknown, neither would victory be celebrated by songs of triumph.

Thomas Carlyle

If a man should conquer in battle a thousand and a thousand more, and another should conquer himself, his would be the greater victory, because the greatest of victories is the victory over oneself.

Gautama Buddha

Life should not only be lived, it should be celebrated.

Rajneesh

For sorrow there is no remedy provided by nature; it is often occasioned by accidents irreparable, and dwells upon objects that have lost or changed their existence; it requires what it cannot hope, that the laws of the universe should be repealed; that the dead should return, or the past should be recalled.

Samuel Johnson

Men like Sunil Dutt should not be mourned, only envied for their greatness.

Mahesh Bhatt

A player should never be selfish and should always contribute to team's victory.

Shahid Afridi

It's true that many of the best-known composers were German or Austrian, but we should remember how good the music tradition is in Britain, too, because it has an informality and a fluidity that should really be celebrated.
