The main purpose of life is to live rightly, think rightly, act rightly. The soul must languish when we give all our thought to the body.

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
The purpose of satire has been rightly stated as to strip off the veneer of comforting illusion and cosy half truth, and our job, as I see it, is to put it back again!

As we study the Word of God rightly divided we are to understand that God has arranged His dealings with mankind into two programs. We have His prophesied purpose and His secret purpose. Prophecy has to do with the earth and Christ's reign upon it during the millennial kingdom, while the Mystery concerns our exaltation with Christ in the heavenlies.

The kingdom of God is a theocracy. And as it is the only form of government which will redeem and save mankind, it is necessary that every soul should be rightly and thoroughly instructed in regard to its nature and general characteristics.

Are you listening, Prof. Higgins....! ! ! !
Well Prof. Higgins, I’ll like to bring you up to date
Mention of a woman need no longer get you into a state.
You’ll be surprised things have changed
Since Pygmalion was first staged.
No longer a woman’s anxious little hand
Is just waiting to wear a wedding band.
She has far too many interests
Other than her dresses and gloves.
A woman needs as much space
As you rightly said, even if just to laze.
By the way, when she call her friends
They just don’t talk of cars and gizmos to no end.
It’s no longer true that women can’t go out alone
And always need to be chaperoned.
Women too will rather have their tooth drilled
Than live with a man who is utterly selfish.
Get a man in your life and his idea of relaxation
Is just to sit in front of TV and serf channels
Men always cursed women for their bad timing
Even when she is being operated for medical emergency.
Hence, women too hesitate to let a man in their lives
And lead a life free of strife
Why can’t a man be like a woman?
Kind, patient and full of compassion.
Eliza rightly said, earth will still spin without you
No one is indispensable is really true.
Pickering too asked you, are you a man of character
Where women are concerned? Please give an honest answer.
Let’s face it; you too succumbed to her charm and grace
Don’t be fooled it was because you got accustomed to her face.
The battle of the sexes will go on
We still take the plunge, its more than just hormones
Pygmalion is A Play written by Bernard Shaw on which the movie
My Fair Lady was based.

Every art and every inquiry, and similarly every action and choice, is thought to aim at some good; and for this reason the good has rightly been declared to be that at which all things aim.
A Photograph in the Observer
This is a photograph
Of I the observer
I can see my life
Very clearly
And my life is right
I will not lie, nor steal
Nor kill to get to the top
For my life is already
On top
And my dignity and
My strife to continue
Living rightly
Keeps me there.

The reward of a thing rightly done is to have done it.
Happyness
something in us
sometimes
spells things differently
but no matter
what]
we do not really
mind}
what symbols
we attach, for whatever
that brings us
joy,
wrongly, or rightly,
we do not mind the eyes
that see us,
we only see each other
eye to eye
and body to body our souls
fuse, as though
we are the only inhabitants
of this earth
as though we are the only
owners of the sea
and the sky
heaven and earth
i do not even imagine
hell.

O Dear Teacher!
O Dear Teacher you teach
The world the lesson of life,
Principle of leading content life,
Like a banyan tree provides shade of love
Bestow on us knowledge.
O Dear Teacher you are
A soul that knows only to give,
A Guide who leads us to right path,
A sailor of life who takes us to our destination,
Hope of tomorrow,
The Lantern of wisdom.
O Dear Teacher,
No pen can rightly describe your greatness,
My head bow with respect & gratitude.

What we call pleasure, and rightly so is the absence of all pain.
It is more difficult to praise rightly than to blame.
