"1 and this one holds a very large meaning although it's one I can say I don't agree with. If the direct opposite of this message were presented, I would give it a 4. Most times, the "heart" is characterized as being irrational but people still bend toward it's will. And the "mind" is characterized as being thoughtful and people still defect it's superiority for their emotional surplus. Hence, I agree with this statement in that it's very highly accurate. However, a level-headed mind I like better than an emotional heart, as in the end, a thousand people who judge based on emotion and emotion alone are given to fantasies; in comparison to one man who can judge based on heavy thoughts is more worthwhile. - Zarbon 05:34, 27 February 2009 (UTC)"

"4 ♞☤☮♌︎Kalki ⚚⚓︎⊙☳☶⚡ 23:11, 17 February 2015 (UTC) Thanks for bringing this birthday to my attention. This is also my mother's birthday, and I had been pleased with all the options Nikos Kazantzakis provided for good quotes, and prior to this suggestion, I don’t believe that I had previously noticed it was Ramakrishna's as well. Will probably add more from him here in coming weeks, and expect there will be plenty of good options from either of these philosophers for years to come."

"0 Kalki 19:50, 16 February 2007 (UTC) 2 Kalki 23:38, 17 February 2006 (UTC) I would rank this higher with a stronger date tie-in, but I don't believe it's actually from Huckleberry Finn I had suspected this wasn't Twain, but was pretty certain that it wasn't from Huckleberry Finn; as JeffQ's research below indicates there is no reason to accept Twain as the author of this."
"0 Jeff Q (talk) 04:51, 29 April 2006 (UTC), unless we can find the correct source. Neither Wikisource nor Project Gutenberg, both of which include Huckleberry Finn, appear to have any Twain work with both the words "belittle" and "ambitions", so we can't even confirm Twain said it, let alone the appropriateness of this date."

Young though he was, his radiant energy produced such an impression of absolute reliability that Hedgewar made him the first sarkaryavah, or general secretary, of the RSS.
- Gopal Mukund Huddar
Largely because of the influence of communists in London, Huddar's conversion into an enthusiastic supporter of the fight against fascism was quick and smooth. The ease with which he crossed from one worldview to another betrays the fact that he had not properly understood the world he had grown in.
Huddar would have been 101 now had he been alive. But then centenaries are not celebrated only to register how old so and so would have been and when. They are usually celebrated to explore how much poorer our lives are without them. Maharashtrian public life is poorer without him. It is poorer for not having made the effort to recall an extraordinary life.
I regret I was not there to listen to Balaji Huddar's speech [...] No matter how many times you listen to him, his speeches are so delightful that you feel like listening to them again and again.
By the time he came out of Franco's prison, Huddar had relinquished many of his old ideas. He displayed a worldview completely different from that of the RSS, even though he continued to remain deferential to Hedgewar and maintained a personal relationship with him.
