General Quotes

“Courageous people do not fear forgiving, for the sake of peace.”
Nelson Mandela

“Leaders try every possible means to leave the world better than they found it. They make an indelible impact and society remembers them for that.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“Believe this, “the higher you go, the further you see” and also “the further you see the clearer you hear; “the clearer you hear, the wiser you become”
Israelmore Ayivor

“being a garbage dump for other people does not promote peace for me, and I want peace more than I want to know what is going on in everyone else’s life.”
Joyce Meyer

“A true revolution of values will soon cause us to question the fairness and justice of many of our past and present policies. On the one hand we are called to play the good Samaritan on life’s roadside; but that will be only an initial act. One day we must come to see that the whole Jericho road must be transformed so that men and women will not be constantly beaten and robbed as they make their journey on life’s highway. True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar; it is not haphazard and superficial. It comes to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring. A true revolution of values will soon look uneasily on the glaring contrast of poverty and wealth. With righteous indignation, it will look across the seas and see individual capitalists of the West investing huge sums of money in Asia, Africa and South America, only to take the profits out with no concern for the social betterment of the countries, and say: “This is not just.” It will look at our alliance with the landed gentry of Latin America and say: “This is not just.” The Western arrogance of feeling that it has everything to teach others and nothing to learn from them is not just. A true revolution of values will lay hands on the world order and say of war: “This way of settling differences is not just.” This business of burning human beings with napalm, of filling our nation’s homes with orphans and widows, of injecting poisonous drugs of hate into veins of people normally humane, of sending men home from dark and bloody battlefields physically handicapped and psychologically deranged, cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice and love. A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“Positive thinkers use sentences like “I can do it”; “I am qualified for it”; they think of things as possible.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“How heavy is the toll of sins and wrongs that wealth, power and prestige exact from man!”
Mahatma Gandhi

“Concentrate all your thoughts on the task at hand. The sun’s rays do not burn until brought to a focus.” 
Brian Tracy

“Don’t fight with narrow minded people; be determined to compel them to change their mindsets about who you stand to be, not by arguments, but by focusing on what you do every day. If they change it, fine; if they don’t, fine. The good news is that you are pursuing excellence!”
Israelmore Ayivor

“A good ruler has to learn his world's language, and that's different for every world, the language you don't hear just with your ears.”
Frank Herbert

“For the person trying to do everything alone, the game really is over. If you want to do something big, you must link up with others. One is too small a number to achieve greatness. That’s the Law of Significance.”
John C. Maxwell

“Everyone has the power for greatness, not for fame but greatness, because greatness is determined by service.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“The ignorance of one voter in a democracy impairs the security of all.”
John F. Kennedy

“And for him, who lived in a certain circle, and who required some mental activity such as usually develops with maturity, having views was as necessary as having a hat.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Chiar şi cel mai mic neadevăr îl strică pe om, la fel cum o picătură de otravă poate strica un lac întreg.”
Mahatma Gandhi
