General Quotes

“The man who is contented to be only himself, and therefore less a self, is in prison. My own eyes are not enough for me, I will see through those of others. Reality, even seen through the eyes of many, is not enough. I will see what others have invented. Even the eyes of all humanity are not enough. I regret that the brutes connot write books. Very gladly would I learn what face things present to a mouse or a bee; more gladly still would I perceive the olfactory world charged with all the information and emotion it carries for a dog. Literary experience heals the wound, without undermining the privilege, of individuality... in reading great literature I become a thousand men and yet remain myself. Like the night sky in the Greek poem, I see with a myriad of eyes, but it is still I who see. Here, as in worship, in love, in moral action, and in knowing, I transcend myself; and am never more myself than when I do.”
C.S. Lewis

“Discipline is the soul of an army. It makes small numbers formidable; procures success to the weak, and esteem to all”
George Washington

“an intangible impulse of thought can be transmuted into material rewards”
Napoleon Hill

“You must reject common thinking if you want to accomplish uncommon results.”
John C. Maxwell

“sometimes you win, sometimes you learn”
John C. Maxwell

“Our culture will stand in roaring ovations for the illusionists, escape artists, and magicians. Deception is everything opposite the truth.”
Billy Graham

“When you fully comprehend that there is more to life than just here and now, and you realize that life is just preparation for eternity, you will begin to live differently. You will start living in light of eternity, and that will color how you handle every relationship, task, and circumstance. Suddenly many activities, goals, and even problems that seemed so important will appear trivial, petty, and unworthy of your attention. The closer you live to God, the smaller everything else appears.”
Rick Warren

“Choose to be at peace with yourself and you will never have any battle to lose. Find yourself every reason and season to share your peace with others!”
Israelmore Ayivor

“Every heart has its own skeletons.”
Leo Tolstoy

“If Americans desire to be both ignorant and free, they want what never has been and what never will be.”
Thomas Jefferson

“The whole trouble lies in that people think that there are conditions excluding the necessity of love in their intercourse with man, but such conditions do not exist. Things may be treated without love; one may chop wood, make bricks, forge iron without love, but one can no more deal with people without love than one can handle bees without care.”
Leo Tolstoy

“We accept our humanity intellectually, but not emotionally. When faced with our own limitations, we react with irritation, anger, and resentment. We want to be taller (or shorter), smarter, stronger, more talented, more beautiful, and wealthier. We want to have it all and do it all, and we become upset when it doesn’t happen. Then when we notice that God gave others characteristics we don’t have, we respond with envy, jealousy, and self-pity.”
Rick Warren

“Encourage everyone you meet with a smile or compliment. Make them feel better when you leave their presence and they will always be glad to see you coming.”
Joyce Meyer

“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

“In the Bible God speaks to us; in prayer we speak to God. Both are essential.”
Billy Graham
