It is not worth an intelligent man's time to be in the majority. By definition, there are already enough people to do that.

Poverty

Growing day by day even than everybody insult me,
but i never insult anyone this is in my nature.
Biggest irony with me that everyone keep distance
from myself but majority of people fail to keep distance
even philosophical people try to attach me with those
who really hate me and success is there motto in life.
Certain people try to show kindness in different way
toward me, but i need solid action instead of kindness.
I am root of majority of evil exists in this world.
Some intelligent people try to define in line
there effort did not yield any positive result.
only selected people win over me.
Why majority of people fail to... win over me?
I am your own.......poverty.

It is proof of a base and low mind for one to wish to think with the masses or majority, merely because the majority is the majority. Truth does not change because it is, or is not, believed by a majority of the people.

Theses, faeces, syntheses

O the language of the thesis!
O the octopus of Academe!

‘As I argued in my previous book,
‘Some definitions of ‘definition’ in contemporary philosophy’ –
an argument which I hope to pursue
in a following volume, (and I quote) :
‘to define what we mean by ‘definition’
we must first consider
the nature of definition:
can it be itself defined? Is
its definition itself a retreat
from what definition defines? …’

and the wood of academic chairs
creaking as a lecture ends,
from which once the young sap rose
like the hope of definition
dries, decays and dessicates.

A great Friend

The definition of a great
friend is.....
Sticking by you no matter what.

The definition of a great
friend is...
To dry away wet tears when you are you are down

The definition of a great
friend is....
To unstick you, when your struck

The definition of a great
friend is....
To help you through the hard times

The definition of a great
friend is....
To tell you when are wrong, to teach you to do riight.

The Definition of a great
friend is.....
to pray with you through hard times, to give a hand when your in need and hug you and let you see.

The definition of a
great friend is true, The definition of a great friend is you! ! ! ! ! ! !

John Hume

The basic policy of the British Government was that since the majority of people in Northern Ireland wished to remain in the United Kingdom, that was that. We asked what would happen if the majority wanted something else, if the majority wanted to see Irish unity.

Definition Of Internal Loneliness

What is hard to do,
Is find a definition of internal loneliness.
Thousands feel it
But they have a hard time defining it.

One doesn't need a definition
When one is suffering from the condition.
You know it
When you have it,
And you suffer from it.

The Majesty of the majority

The arrogance of the majority
Kills the freedom of the minority.
The authority of the majority
Checks the progress of the minority.
The humility of the majority
Tends the growth of the minority
The majesty of the majority
Grants the safety of the minority
Let the Babaar majid be rebuilt.

[The majid was an unused mosque built centuries ago in the place of a Hindu temple, and was destructed by the Hindu faith people giving a shock to the country’s secularism]

The Grand Piano

In the centre of four white corners
He stood proudly dressed in black upright

Keys in minors and sharps
Shining in mahogany in the light

He spoke with golden tones
With definition and authority
He was sort after
By the minority and majority

So many desired
To play his keys
Producing melodies with chords
But very few could afford
His price
It was worth it
It was nice

He was the grand piano

The difference between stupid and intelligent people - and this is true whether or not they are well-educated - is that intelligent people can handle subtlety.

The Minority Government

The wise are in minority.
The rulers are in minority
Rogues too are in minority.
So are captains and militants.

Teachers are in minority.
Bishops are in minority.
Juries too are minority.
So are smugglers and the rich.

Americans are in minority.
Human beings are in minority.
Minority rules the majority.
Minority rides the majority.

Majority yields to minority.
Majority fears the minority,
And loves to play the role of drudgery.
The sign of majority is slavery

Who wants the intelligent?

The intelligent one is ungrateful.
His eyes are on steps ahead
Not on the ones trodden.
The intelligent one is unreliable.
His eyes are on the steps ahead
Not on the one he is on.
He reaches the end by bending the means..
Who wants intelligent people?

If we take the generally accepted definition of bravery as a quality which knows no fear, I have never seen a brave man. All men are frightened. The more intelligent they are, the more they are frightened.

Ch 08 On Rules For Conduct In Life - Maxim 05

The country is adorned by intelligent and the religion by virtuous men. Padshahs stand more in need of the advice of intelligent men than intelligent men of the proximity of padshahs.

If thou wilt listen to advice, padshah,
There is none better in all books than this:
‘Entrust a business to an intelligent man
Although it may not be his occupation.’

We meet people all the time....

We meet people all the time
Rich people with nothing
Poor people with the world
Kind people
Not so kind people
Funny people
People who think they are funny
People who laugh at other peoples pain
People who change the course of our lives
People whom we change their direction
Inspirational people
Caring people
Intelligent people
History tells us of people who create World misery
And the ones who end it
People who charm the socks off us (while we are wearing our shoes!)
People who steal our affections
People who give us undeserved affections
All the time we meet people

Wouldn’t it be nice if this poem didn’t label them though?

On a scale of the United States, the Hollywood influence on what comes out, that's not the majority views of across the country. What we read in Us Weekly or People magazine, or Entertainment Tonight, it's not what the majority of the country is thinking.

Definition

Definition
What does that mean?

The meaning of life
The meaning of who you are
The meaning of our dreams

How can we define?
What all that really means

Is it the definition of?
Life
Dose that mean we can be
Anything we want to be
Or is it simply
Do what you say
And be forever free

Is it the definition of?
Who you are
Accept your fallacies
And be a better
Human being

Is it the definition of?
Our dreams
Dream the impossible
And live up to your dreams
And make them all real

Who really knows?
What it all really means
