# Hesitation

Hesitation or hesitating is the psychological process of pausing in the course of making a decision or taking an action, typically due to uncertainty as to the best course of action. Hesitation is described in both positive and negative terms, with some perceiving it as an indication of thoughtfulness, while others characterize it as a sign of indecisiveness or lack of the will to act. In literature, a period of hesitation on the part of a key character has sometimes been depicted as having substantial consequences.

## Quotes

* He who hesitates is lost.
** Proverb from a rewording of a phrase by playwright Joseph Addison, who wrote in his 1712 play, Cato, a Tragedy, "The woman that deliberates is lost", as reported in Max Cryer, Common Phrases: And the Amazing Stories Behind Them (2010), p. 131.
* In ipsa dubitatione facinus inest, etiamsi ad id non pervenerint.
** Guilt is present in the very hesitation, even though the deed be not committed.
** Cicero, De Officiis (44 B.C.), III. 8, as reported in Hoyt's New Cyclopedia Of Practical Quotations (1922), p. 345.
* Determination in a single instance is an expression of courage; if it becomes characteristic, a mental habit. But here we are referring not to physical courage but to courage to accept responsibility, courage in the face of a moral danger. This has often been called courage d'esprit, because it is created by the intellect. That, however, does not make it an act of the intellect: it is an act of temperament. Intelligence alone is not courage; we often see that the most intelligent people are irresolute. Since in the rush of events a man is governed by feelings rather than by thought, the intellect needs to arouse the quality of courage, which then supports and sustains it in action. Looked at in this way, the role of determination is to limit the agonies of doubt and the perils of hesitation when the motives for action are inadequate.
** Carl von Clausewitz, On War (1832), chapter 3.
* Does a tear of hesitation fall on everything you touch?
** Roger Miller, Big River: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1985).
* Mind that has no hesitation, no anticipation, is meditation.
** Ravi Shankar, "What is Meditation?" (2006).
* Dualism, contradiction, torments of hesitation - is something of illness, integrity is health, people strive for it instinctively.
** Simon Soloveychik, The Last Book (1999), Ch.17 (In Russian, Последняя книга,1999, ISBN 5-8246-0030-9
* Audendo virtus crescit, tardando timor.
** Audacity augments courage; hesitation, fear.
** Publilius Syrus, Sententiae, Maxim 63.
*** Variant translation: "Valour grows by daring, fear by holding back."

## Quotes

* 'Tis never for their wisdom that one loves the wisest, or for their wit that one loves the wittiest; 'tis for benevolence, and virtue, and honest fondness, one loves people; the other qualities make one proud of loving them too.
** Letter to Fanny Burney; Charlotte Barrett (ed.) Diary and Letters of Madame d'Arblay (1854) vol. 2, p. 3.

* The tree of deepest root is found Least willing still to quit the ground; 'Twas therefore said by ancient sages, That love of life increased with years. So much, that in our latter stages, When pains grow sharp and sickness rages, The greatest love of life appears.
** "Three Warnings", line 1, in Abraham Hayward (ed.) Autobiography, Letters, and Literary Remains of Mrs. Piozzi (Thrale) (1861) vol. 2, p. 165.

## Quotes

* If you consider that the constant tenor of the gospel precepts is to promote love, peace, and good-will amongst men, you will not doubt that the cultivation of an amiable disposition is a great part of your religious duty; since nothing leads more directly to the breach of charity, and to the injury and molestation of our fellow-creatures than the indulgence of an ill- temper.
** Reported in Josiah Hotchkiss Gilbert, Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895), p. 363.
# Hinduism in Nepal

Hinduism is the main and largest religion of Nepal. The Constitution of Nepal have established a call for protection of old aged religion i.e Hinduism through out the country and this state that Hinduism is the Official religion of Nepal which have got special privileges in the Constitution. In the 2011 Nepal census, approximately 85 percent of the Nepalese people identified themselves as Hindus including Kirati ethnic indigenous religion which is also considered as sect or a branch of Hinduism, although observers note that many of the people regarded as Hindus in the 1981 census could, with as much justification, be called Buddhists. According to 2011 census, the Hindu population in Nepal is estimated to be around 22,493,649 which accounts 85% of country's population.[2] The national calendar of Nepal, Vikram Samvat, is a solar Hindu calendar essentially the same to that widespread in North India as a religious calendar, and is based on Hindu units of time.

## Quotes

* Whenever any attack on Hinduism threatens, all Nepali Hindus have done was to give in without a fight. A few years ago, the Maoists demanded the abolition of the Sanskrit class in schools, and the course was dropped at once. .... Ever since I first met a Nepali Hindu (at Benares Hindu university in 1989) and he gave me an account of the situation in Nepal, I have been very pessimistic about the future of Hinduism there. Never in the intervening years has even a single news item reached my ear that indicated a counter-trend, it was slowly downhill all along. Bangladeshi infiltrators accumulated, the ISI set up shop, the Christian missionaries lambasted the country's anti-conversion law all while making converts by the thousands...

# Hinduism in Assam

Hinduism is the largest religion of Assam, practiced by around 61% of the state population as per the 2011 Census.

## Quotes

* A very influential work was the Assamese Ramayana by Madhava Kandali, a Brahmin also known as Kaviraja Kandali. It was composed in the fourteenth century at the behest of the Kachari king Shrimahamanikya. It was in five kandas and was an adaption and condensation of Valmiki’s work. It was completed in its present form of seven kandas by Shankaradeva, the great Assamese saint and poet, and his disciple Madhavadeva, who added the Bala and Uttara Kandas. Shankaradeva also wrote a play, the Rama Vijaya, on Rama's marriage and his humbling of Parashurama (Smith 1995: 27- Several other works were written in the following centuries like the Lava Kusara Yuddha, the Sitara Banabasa, the Katha Ramayana and the Nagaksa Yuddha (Smith 1995: 29-30).
** Rama and Ayodhya by Meenakshi Jain (2013)
* The first Ramayana to be translated into a regional language from the main Sanskrit Ramayana, among the north Indian languages, is Madhav Kandali’s Saptakanda Ramayana in Assamese. This was carried out in the 14th century. Madhava Kandali created his work under the patronage of Raja Mahamanikya, the Kachari king whose kingdom was situated in the present-day district of Nagaon. Acknowledging Madhava Kandali’s literary prowess, Mahapurusha Sri Sankardeva later commented thus ‘Seeking Rama in the works of my unchal- lenged predecessor, I felt like the rabbit running away in fear seeing the elephant’s dung’.

* Assam’s sociocultural fabric is agog with stories from the Ramayana and Mahabharata. Right from Sadiya, Manipur and Liqabali (near Silapathar) in Arunachal Pradesh to the land of Dimarajya (now known as the NC Hills), Tezpur or Sonitpur, many places in the entire region are associated with various ancient tales of Indic civilization and reli- gion. The Kamakhya temple and several other temples dedicated to Durga, Shiva, Vishnu and Krishna are scattered in the north-eastern region, and many festivals celebrated in their honour have been glorifying and sustaining those cultural memories for generations.

# Hinduphobia in academia

Hinduphobia in academic circles is a narrative discourse which "typically portrays Hinduism exclusively as an oppressive and regressive tradition, inextricably bound up with social institutions like caste and patriarchy. In this discourse, positive and progressive aspects of Hindu traditions—such as those which question or oppose caste prejudice or male chauvinism—are either ignored or attributed to outside, non-Hindu influences".

# Quotes

* Far more seriously, both in America and in India, scholars suspected of pro-Hindu sympathies are blocked in their access to academe, and their work gets studiously ignored. For India, a tip of the blanket over this hushed-up phenomenon was lifted by Dr. A. Devahuti: Bias in Indian Historiography (1980). It is seriously in need of an update, but I am given to understand that one is forthcoming. For America, a start was made by Rajiv Malhotra with his books Invading the Sacred (2007) and Academic Hinduphobia (2016)... At any rate, one does not have to follow Hindutva, or even be a Hindu or an Indian, to observe that American India-watchers utter a strong anti-Hindu prejudice in their publications.
** Elst, K. Hindu Dharma and the Culture Wars (2019)
* [Hinduphobia in academia] "is not simply a critique of Hinduism" but "a deeply embedded and very often unexamined set of assumptions pervading some, though not all, academic writing on Hinduism...hinduphobic discourse... follows a circular logic, in which the conclusion has already been built into the premises: that, whatever the problem or issue in question, Hindus and Hinduism are at fault.."
** Indologist Jeffrey Long Long, Jeffrey D.. "Reflections on Hinduphobia: A perspective from a scholar-practitioner.". Prabuddha Bharata or Awakened India 121(12): 797-804.

# Hinduism in Cambodia

Hinduism is a minority religion in Cambodia which is followed by nearly 1,000 individuals. Even being a small minority in the Buddhist majority nation it highly influences the vast culture and history of Cambodia with being prominent religion under the Khmer Empire. Today most of the Cambodian Hindus are Indians in Cambodia.

## Quotes

* In seventh century Cambodia, Khmer citations attested to the popularity of the Ramayana. An inscription declared that a certain Somasharman presented “the Ramayana, the Purana, and the complete Bharata” to a temple.

# Hinduism in Greece

Hinduism in Greece has a small following. On March 1, 2006, the Greek government passed a law allowing cremation. This law was welcomed by the Indian community in Athens. In 2012, there were about 20,000 Hindus in Greece.

## Quotes

* The status of Indology in Greece is almost non-existent. There is a Department of Hindi in Athens University but nothing more. Few people attend - and those mainly to learn Hindi for commercial and other financial reasons. I think much of the cost is covered by the Indian government. Very few people are interested in Indian culture beyond modern music and dancing and going on tours and holidays to various places in India, or the dinners and very occasional presentations of music and dancing organised by an Indo-Hellenic Society. I myself gave three public lectures every year for several consecutive years on affinities between Greek and Indic cultures (yoga, religion, philosophy, epics, the arts, etc) but, in fact, few people attended and not once anybody from the Indian Embassy or from the University or from the Indo-Hellenic Society. Frankly, the Indian Embassy has never shown interest in promoting the traditional Indian culture. I doubt this will change.

* For most Greeks India is just another country somewhere far in South-East Asia with exotic customs and arts, curious religions, colourful fabrics and much poverty - and it was invaded in ancient times by Alexander the Great and possibly visited by Pythagoras even earlier. There is a pretty late legend that god Dionusos came from Greece and civilised India and all Far East, even Japan, at c 7000 BCE (Dionusiaka, Nonnus of Alexandria, c 400 CE).

* Pakistan Hindu leader Raja Chander Singh... says that the Hindu migration to India is now (proportionally) bigger than during the Partition day: "The future of Hindus in Pakistan is very bleak... They are leaving because of fear".
** Raja Chander Singh, The Week, 11/11/1990. Quoted from Elst, Koenraad (1991). Ayodhya and after: Issues before Hindu society.
* To take a nice legalistic view about the matter that Hindus in Pakistan are Pakistani nationals would be dangerous and can only result in killings and reprisals in the two countries.

** Sukh Ram, a Hindu Pakistani refugee, as quoted in Koenraad Elst Ayodhya and after: Issues before Hindu society (1991)
* Invisible walls were also rising among communities, between neighbors, and even within families. The seeds of intolerance had been there at the outset of Pakistan’s creation, though they’d been kept mostly buried. Now, Zia was watering them generously, and the Saudis were adding fertilizer. Mehtab had grown up with Hindu neighbors; they visited each other and played together. Soon, some Sunni Pakistanis refused to even have a Hindu cook in their house, because they considered the food impure.

# Jack Black (author)

Jack Black (1871-1932) was a late-19th-century/early-20th-century hobo and professional burglar. Born in 1871 near Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, he was raised from infancy in the U.S. state of Missouri. He wrote You Can't Win a memoir or sketched autobiography describing his days on the road and life as an outlaw. He gained fame through association with William S. Burroughs and his writings had a profound effect on the writings and lives of all the Beat Generation.

## Quotes
### You Can't Win

* Your capable beggar on the street does not say "please." He rips off his spiel in such exact and precise language that he gets your dime without it. You so admire his "art" that you do not miss the "please" because he knows you do not use it except when you want the mustard.
** Chapter Two
* To say I was shocked, stunned, or humiliated on entering the penitentiary would not be the truth. It would not be true in nine cases out of any ten. It would be true if a man were picked up on the street and taken directly to a penitentiary, but that isn't done He is first thrown into a dirty, lousy, foul-smelling cell in some city prison, sometimes with an awful beating in the bargain, and after two or three days of that nothing in the world can chock, stun, or humiliate him. He is actually happy to get removed to a county jail where he can perhaps get rid of the vermin and wash his body. By that time, convicted, and sentenced, he has learned from other prisoners just what the penitentiary is like and just what to do and what to expect. You start doing time the minute the handcuffs are on your wrists. The first day you are locked up is the hardest, and the last day the easiest. There comes a feeling of helplessness when the prison gates wallow you up - cut you off from the sunshine and flowers out in the world - but that feeling soon wears away if you have guts. Some men despair. I am sure I did not.
** Chapter Nine
* I fell in with a wolfish-eyed girl of the streets, hungry and shivering in a doorway, so shabby that men would not throw an appraising glance at her. Like Julia she was almost “ready for the river.”

# Jack Dempsey

William Harrison "Jack" Dempsey (June 24, 1895 – May 31, 1983) was an American boxer who held the world heavyweight title between 1919 and 1926. Known as "The Manassa Mauler," Dempsey was a tremendous puncher famous for his exciting fights, many of which set financial and attendance records.

** Dempsey's definition of a champion.
* Honey, I just forgot to duck.
** To his wife on losing the world heavyweight title (September 23, 1926) - quoted by Ronald Reagan in 1981
* Nobody has to go hungry today. There is plenty of work for a man who wants to work. A kid can make plenty of dough for himself doing almost anything. I was hungry. I had to fight my way along. Freights and the like, fight, fight all the time. The life was tough, but it hardened you.
** Jack speaking to The Ring Magazine (May 1956)
* When I was a young fellow I was knocked down plenty. I wanted to stay down, but I couldn’t. I had to collect the two dollars for winning or go hungry. I had to get up. I was one of those hungry fighters. You could have hit me on the chin with a sledgehammer for five dollars. When you haven’t eaten for two days you’ll understand.
** Grantland Rice quoting Dempsey, Book of Boxing, page 299.

## About Jack Dempsey

* He should’ve been the only heavyweight anybody ever thought of when they thought about the greatest heavyweight champion. I mean he had everything. He could punch, he could box. He was mean and determined.
** Trainer Ray Arcel
* There's no place for pity in the ring. Many fighters can't bear to hammer a helpless opponent in the ring. They don't want to hurt him. But look at Dempsey he was probably the greatest rough and tumble fighter who ever lived.
** Dan Morgan, fight manager
