General Quotes

“The only absolute knowledge attainable by man is that life is meaningless.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Only when it is dark enough can we see the stars.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“Honest differences are often a healthy sign of progress”
Mahatma Gandhi

“My father once told me that respect for the truth comes close to being the basis for all morality. ‘Something”
Frank Herbert

“He is the devotee who is jealous of none, who is a fount of mercy, who is without egotism, who is selfless, who treats alike cold and heat, happiness and misery, who is ever forgiving, who is always contented, whose resolutions are firm, who has dedicated mind and soul to God, who causes no dread, who is not afraid of others, who is free from exultation, sorrow and fear, who is pure, who is versed in action and yet remains unaffected by it, who renounces all fruit, good or bad, who treats friend and foe alike, who is untouched by respect or disrespect, who is not puffed up by praise, who does not go under when people speak ill of him, who loves silence and solitude, who has a disciplined reason. Such devotion is inconsistent with the existence at the same time of strong attachments. 18. We thus see that to be a real devotee is to realize oneself. Self-realization is not something apart. One rupee can purchase for us poison or nectar, but knowledge or devotion cannot buy us salvation or bondage. These are not media of exchange. They are themselves the thing we want. In other words, if the means and the end are not identical, they are almost so. The extreme of means is salvation. Salvation of the Gita is perfect peace.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“Our nation was born in genocide when it embraced the doctrine that the original American, the Indian, was an inferior race. Even before there were large numbers of Negroes on our shore, the scar of racial hatred had already disfigured colonial society. From the sixteenth century forward, blood flowed in battles over racial supremacy. We are perhaps the only nation which tried as a matter of national policy to wipe out its indigenous population. Moreover, we elevated that tragic experience into a noble crusade. Indeed, even today we have not permitted ourselves to reject or feel remorse for this shameful episode. Our literature, our films, our drama, our folklore all exalt it. Our children are still taught to respect the violence which reduced a red-skinned people of an earlier culture into a few fragmented groups herded into impoverished reservations.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“Do it, and then you will feel motivated to do it.”
Zig Ziglar

“If you see the obstacle as being too big, it will keep you defeated.
Joel Osteen

“There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.”
Nelson Mandela

Pierre was for the first time at this meeting impressed by the endless multiplicity of men's minds, which leads to no truth being ever seen by two persons alike...What Pierre chiefly desired was always to transmit his thought to another exactly as he conceived it himself.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Yes,” said the Lord Digory. “Its inside is bigger than its outside.”
C.S. Lewis

“If you want your life to be more rewarding, you have to change the way you think.”
Oprah Winfrey

“Art should cause violence to be set aside and it is only art that can accomplish this.”
Leo Tolstoy

“My father-in-law . . . was a great inspiration to me both in life and in his preparation for death.”
Billy Graham

“To believe that what has not occurred in history will not occur at all, is to argue disbelief in the dignity of man.”
Mahatma Gandhi
