These aren't really quotes... They're all words for which we have no substitute in English. I don't really know how accurate these are (except for Jugaad, which is in my mothertongue so I could edit it), so I am sorry for any errors. The words and translations themselves were taken from a book called "Lost in Translation" by Ella Francis Sanders. I hope it fits in...

Bookman, very nice quotation, handwriting and overall photography, congrats, thanks for sharing. I wish I was such a calligrapher as you, but anyway, here is my today's quote:

That is beautiful handwriting Bobje. And I really like that quote; I first heard it while watching Seven Years in Tibet and have pretty much made it a personal mantra. :)

Nice advertising copy. But according to the Smithsonian, no evidence exists of this supposed 2013 classified advertisement in The Times of London.

British as Sir Shackleton was wouldn't he have spelled it "honour"?

 

Comes to my mind because I am actually reading a book about artic exploration at the moment.

Astron, yes, the spelling of honor is one piece of evidence cited.

 

The incorrect spelling of Shackleton, however, is entirely my mistake.
