General Quotes

“There is nothing so likely to produce peace as to be well prepared to meet the enemy”
George Washington

“Alone among unsympathetic companions, I hold certain views and standards timidly, half ashamed to avow them and half doubtful if they can after all be right. Put me back among my Friends and in half an hour - in ten minutes - these same views and standards become once more indisputable. The opinion of this little circle, while I am in it, outweighs that of a thousand outsiders: as Friendship strengthens, it will do this even when my Friends are far away. For we all wish to be judged by our peers, by the men "after our own heart." Only they really know our mind and only they judge it by standards we fully acknowledge. Theirs is the praise we really covet and the blame we really dread.”
C.S. Lewis

“Do not cite the Deep Magic to me, Witch. I was there when it was written.”
C.S. Lewis

“Sex, alone, is a mighty urge to action, but its forces are like a cyclone—they are often uncontrollable. When the emotion of love begins to mix itself with the emotion of sex, the result is calmness of purpose, poise, accuracy of judgment, and balance
Napoleon Hill

“I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“Absorb what is useful, discard what is useless and add what is specifically your own”
Bruce Lee

“Mercy detached from justice grows unmerciful. ”
C.S. Lewis

“Be helpful. When you see a person without a smile, give him one of yours. ~” 
Zig Ziglar

“Before a dream can mature and manifest itself as real, a lot of loaded efforts come into play! You are the pivot on which those loads must be turned!”
Israelmore Ayivor

Israelmore Ayivor

words are powerful and should not be spoken frivolously.”
Joyce Meyer

“Necessity is the mother of all invention.”
Albert Einstein

“wisdom needs no violence...As it is we have played at war – that’s what’s vile! We play at magnanimity and all that stuff. Such magnanimity and sensibility are like the magnanimity and sensibility of a lady who faints when she sees a calf being killed: she is so kindhearted that she can’t look at blood, but enjoys eating the calf served up with sauce...If there was none of this magnanimity in war, we should go to war only when it was worth while going to certain death, as it is now. Then there would not be war because Paul Ivanovich had offended Michael Ivanovich.”
Leo Tolstoy

“History, in general, only informs us what bad government is.” 
Thomas Jefferson
