General Quotes

“You are always dragging me down,' said I to my Body. 'Dragging _you_ down!' replied my Body. 'Well I like that! Who taught me to like tobacco and alcohol? You, of course, with your idiotic adolescent idea of being "grown up". My palate loathed both at first: but you would have your way. Who put an end to all those angry and revengeful thoughts last night? Me, of course, by insisting on going to sleep. Who does his best to keep you from talking too much and eating too much by giving you dry throats and headaches and indigestion? Eh?' 'And what about sex?' said I. 'Yes, what about it?' retorted the Body. 'If you and your wretched imagination would leave me alone I'd give you no trouble. That's Soul all over; you give me orders and then blame me for carrying them out.”
C.S. Lewis

“You yourself as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve love and affection.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“Father, I thank You that You love me. I thank You that I am always accepted and never rejected. In Jesus’ name, amen.”
Joyce Meyer

“The world will be a better place when everyone becomes a leader; when everyone finds what he/she was sent to do and does it like no other man’s business.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“Curiosity is more important than knowledge.”
Albert Einstein

“Geography has made us neighbors. History has made us friends. Economics has made us partners. And necessity has made us allies. Those whom nature hath so joined together, let no man put asunder.”
John F. Kennedy

“But for a younger generation of conservative operatives who would soon rise to power... They were true believers who meant what they said, whether it was 'No New Taxes' or 'We are a Christian Nation.' In fact, with their rigid doctrines, slash-and-burn style, and exaggerated sense of having been aggrieved, this new conservative leadership was eerily reminiscent of some of the New Left's leaders during the sixties. As with their left-wing counterparts, this new vanguard of the right viewed politics as a contest not just between competing policy visions, but between good and evil. Activists in both parties began developing litmus tests, checklists of orthodoxy, leaving a Democrat who questioned abortion increasingly lonely, any Republican who championed gun control effectively marooned. In this Manichean struggle, compromise came to look like weakness, to be punished or purged. You were with us or you were against us. You had to choose sides.”
Barack Obama

“Civil Disobedience, mass or individual, is an aid to Constructive effort and is a full substitute for armed revolt. Training is necessary as well for Civil Disobedience as for armed revolt. Only the ways are different.… Training for military revolt means learning the use of arms, ending perhaps in the atomic bomb. For Civil Disobedience it means the Constructive Program.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“If you're going to binge, literature is definitely the way to do it.”
Oprah Winfrey

“We must repent of our prayerlessness. We must make prayer our priority. Even our churches today have gotten away from prayer meetings.”
Billy Graham

“Joy lies in the fight, in the attempt, in the suffering involved, not in the victory itself”
Mahatma Gandhi

“A great many of those who 'debunk' traditional...values have in the background values of their own which they believe to be immune from the debunking process”
C.S. Lewis

“Anger flees when the Spirit’s fruit fills our hearts.”
Billy Graham

“Friends we shall never be, you know that yourself. Whether we shall be the happiest or the wretchedest of people--that's in your hands.”
Leo Tolstoy

“But science can only be created by those who are thoroughly imbued with the aspiration toward truth and understanding. This source of feeling, however, springs from the sphere of religion. To this there also belongs the faith in the possibility that the regulations valid for the world of existence are rational, that is, comprehensible to reason. I cannot conceive of a genuine scientist without that profound faith. The situation may be expressed by an image: science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.”
Albert Einstein
