Can somebody interpret these quotes?
I can try my best! :) 1. The world is full of bad, unfortunate events. Tragic occurrences are happening everyday to everyone. Almost everyone is suffering from something, big or small, because that's just how the world is. But everyday, there are people overcoming hard times, putting their lives back on track, conquering fears and challenges that may face them. 2. People are not controlled by fate, they are controlled by their decisions. Everyone's life is not already planned out perfectly, it's not like everyone is being forced to go down one path their entire life. We have choices and we make our own future. No one is trapped by the future, just what they think and what they think the future will be like, 3. The people with the most courage are not the people with everyone on the face of the earth there to back them up. The people with the most courage are the ones who have to face the world all by themselves, without anyone there to help them and guide them. 4. The person who saves everything never wakes up in the morning thinking they will save everything, because then they are not a hero, they are just conceited. The people who make the world go around are everyday people with extra luck, or a caring heart, not someone who thinks it is their job. Hope this helped! :)

Can You Interpret These Quotes?
1 - Well, it means that it's not going to have an effect on you, reading with out reflecting, like eating wouldn't do much for you if it wasn't digested, because even though you're eating, your body would not be getting any nutrients. Just as in, even though you're reading, without reflecting, your mind remains empty. 2 - There is nothing worse than being close-minded and uneducated, everyone can fool you. So, even if you are rich, if you don't have thinking skills and culture you will loose your fortune. Because you won't know what to do with it, and how to spend it. 3 - An educated person won't let themself to be fooled by others. And if a person doesn't want to be educated, well, they would never be anyone in life, because, even if luck knocked on their door, that person wouldn't know how to take advantage of it! That's how I see it!
Help interpreting these quotes please?
"What a treacherous thing to believe that a person is more than a person." The speaker of this line claims that it is dangerous to consider a person is more than a physical being. The speaker implies that considering ourselves to be spiritual beings is a risky undertaking. "I mean, at some point you gotta stop looking up at the sky or one of these days you’ll look back down and see that you floated away, too." The speaker here argues that spending too much time looking at the sky--dreaming perhaps--will cause a person to simply vanish from the material world.
Help me interpret these quotes...?
Kites rise highest against the wind - not with it. Winston Churchill - You will go higher or be more successive if you go follow your own path and not everyone else's You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life. Winston Churchill - You have taken a stand in something you believe in and in doing so you may have made some enemies who don't believe what you believe in. You can't hold a man down without staying down with him. Booker T. Washington - If you put someone down and try to keep him down it will in turn keep you down. If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else. Booker T. Washington - Same as the other quote, if you lift or help other in turn you help yourself.
How does one interpret Shakespeare's quote "Some are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon 'em "?
Born great: Shakespeare was writing in times of Kings and Queens, where you inherited your status from you parents. A monarch was born great because they are expected to become the leader of a country. Therefore…Achieve greatness: sorry Anuj you might have got top votes but you are wrong; “Mozart, Galileo, Einstein” are all examples who achieved greatness by result of their efforts and/or talent, they were not ‘born’ great. Shakespeare himself also falls into this category. More modern examples would be Michael Jordan, Tiger Wood, Steve Jobs, Jimi Hendrix (a long list of presidents and political leaders which I won’t list for fear of provoking controversy). Although they might have displayed a particular talent at an early age or had a genetic advantage (being tall helps in the NBA, right?) their ‘greatness’ would not have been evident at their birth. Plenty of tall people do not make the NBA, you need to master the ball and team skills as well. NB: Mozart like all young ‘prodigies’ of his era was instructed in piano from a very early age (and no doubt forced to practice by his parents). See the “10,000 hours of practice” theory.Thrust upon: these are people who are perceived as great through chance or circumstance, e.g. pilot Chesley Sullenberger who saved the lives of his passenger by landing his plane in the Hudson river. In principle he was just one of thousands of pilots but circumstances made him a hero to many. Some politicians or military leaders also fall into this category; did Winston Churchill achieve greatness, or did WW2 present him with a crisis in which he was able to rise to the occasion? The debate will go on…
Can someone help me interpret this quote? "literature is the question minus the answer""?
i think it is saying that literature tells a story but it is up to your imagination to bring it to life in your head and to interpret the story's meaning.
How do you interpret this quote of death and god, “There is only one god and his name is Death, and there is only one thing we say to Death, Not today.”?
That is an interesting question. So first we have to identify who is this god of death. There are answers to that in Greek and Roman mythology . The actual quote, “There is only one god and his name is Death, and there is only one thing we say to Death, Not today”, comes from a current game, specifically a character named Syrio Forel, of The Game of Thrones. This is all fiction.Truth, however , is more interesting to me than fiction, and I deal with truth as I have experienced it. In the Christian Bible there is one called ‘the author of sickness and disease’. The Bible identifies that spirit as Satan, who it also calls “the god of this world’ and ‘the deceiver’. That means that he has some control over those who are not aware of him, in other words people who are deceived into believing that he does not exist (among other deceptions). The ‘god of this world’ is able by deception to exert control over people even to their actual death.There is one truth in the Syrio Forel quote in that we can say to Death, “Not today”. If the Grim Reaper then moves on past us, we must be careful not to delude ourselves with pride, which in itself is an avenue to death. But rather than leave you on that note, think on this: Jesus is the Deliverer from evil. Wise men still seek Him and step under the umbrella of his protection from the evil one. Fear, however, invites violence on us. The faith and wisdom we find in Christ gives us a confidence that is in Him and not of ourselves. We are always safe in Him even should we die.
