"Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. We know more about war than we know about peace, more about killing than we know about living. We have grasped the mystery of the atom and rejected the Sermon on the Mount". (Omar N. Bradley) Yes! Despite all the technological tools in our age, life appears to have lost meaning and value. We seem to have abandoned our core values. We fuss and fret over life and its enjoyments; take so much care to perpetuate our good names and fortune, and weigh every event as a means of self-aggrandizement. These, notwithstanding, we have met with emptiness, dejection, and destitution. We have lost faith in our government, in ourselves, and even in God. We have resigned in self-pity and have sunk into frustration and desperation. We have questioned the rationale for living. What are we here for? We need doctors, lawyers, engineers, politicians, teachers, businessmen, etc, to keep life going. But why keep life going when every day we are witnesses to natural and man-triggered disasters which consume millions of lives within moments? Earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, bombings, plane crashes, fatal accidents, etc. have become ordinary events. Regarding these calamities, which have become ordinary events, is life still meaningful? Knowledge and Wisdom, MEANINGFUL LIFE presents pertinent aspects of life and provides soul-searching answers, by way of quotations, to questions that have plagued human existence from time immemorial. The book is an embodiment of a multiplicity of carefully selected quotations that hinge on the concept of life in some of its endless ramifications. These quotations are uplifting, inspiring, and spiritually motivating. They are grouped in twenty chapters under suitable themes and arranged to flow in a prose-like order, gradually and smoothly leading the reader into the sub-themes of the different chapters. The quotations are intended to provide a deep insight into varied themes related to life and give the reader not only an optimistic but holistic and realistic view of life. Life is more than talent, genius, education, position, and wealth. You are not here on earth by chance but on a divine mission. Discover it on the pages of this book. The quotations, of which many poses for short eloquent speeches are thoughts, ideas, and beliefs of great men and women, past and present.
