Herman Melville - originality

"It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation." ~Herman Melville

Me

Learning words of wisdom from people helps me to be philosophical and practical in my approach to life. Of course, I follow my own conviction trying not to compromise any conventions. I certainly do not lean on my own understanding either. We all need divine inspired guidance. My parents were my first teachers who taught me some "nuggets of wisdom". To them, I am indebted my knowledge of life to which they molded my intellectual and spiritual well-being.

As to my readers, I have few quotation links here, please feel free to use them if they can be of any help. It's there to share.

With Love,
