General Quotes

“Her entire life has served as evidence that no one ever is defeated until defeat has been accepted as a reality.”
Napoleon Hill

“Where did I get it from? Was it by reason that I attained to the knowledge that I must love my neighbour and not throttle him? They told me so when I was a child, and I gladly believed it, because they told me what was already in my soul. But who discovered it? Not reason! Reason has discovered the struggle for existence and the law that I must throttle all those who hinder the satisfaction of my desires. That is the deduction reason makes. But the law of loving others could not be discovered by reason, because it is unreasonable.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Had to be here to understand,” he had said. He’d meant here in Chicago; but he could also have meant here in my shoes, an older black man who still burns from a lifetime of insults, of foiled ambitions, of ambitions abandoned before they’ve been tried. I asked myself if I could truly understand that. I assumed, took for granted, that I could. Seeing me, these men had made the same assumption.”
Barack Obama

“I have found the paradox,  that if you love until it hurts,  there can be no more hurt,  only more love.”
Mother Teresa

“There can be no deep disappointment where there in not deep love.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“Hope in the Lord”
Joyce Meyer

“I don’t think there is anyone who needs God’s help and grace as much as I do. Sometimes I feel so helpless and weak. I think that is why God uses me. Because I cannot depend on my own strength, I rely on Him twenty-four hours a day. If the day had even more hours, then I would need His help and grace during those hours as well.
Mother Teresa

“Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you.”
Thomas Jefferson

“It is only in God that we discover our origin, our identity, our meaning, our purpose, our significance, and our destiny. Every other path leads to a dead end.”
Rick Warren

“I may not be where I want to be, but thank God I’m not where I used to be.”
Joyce Meyer

“Doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the mext moment”
Oprah Winfrey

“The time comes when silence is betrayal. That time has come for us today...  ...some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony, but we must speak.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“To live, pray. To learn, read. To love, give. To listen, pay attention. But to be wise, apply all that you have acquired”
Israelmore Ayivor

“Time itself is neutral; it can be used either destructively or constructively”
Martin Luther King Jr

“When a man sees a dying animal, horror comes over him: that which he himself is, his essence, is obviously being annihilated before his eyes--is ceasing to be. But when the dying one is a person, and a beloved person, then, besides a sense of horror at the annihilation of life, there is a feeling of severance and a spiritual wound which, like a physical wound, sometimes kills and sometimes heals, but always hurts and fears any external, irritating touch.”
Leo Tolstoy
