General Quotes

“And the price we paid was the price men have always paid for achieving a paradise in this life -we went soft, we lost our edge.”
Frank Herbert

“Character is like a tree and reputation its shadow. The shadow is what we think it is and the tree is the real thing.”
Abraham Lincoln

“The chief reason why the prince was so particularly disagreeable to Vronsky was that he could not help seeing himself in him. And what he saw in this mirror did not gratify his self- esteem. He was a very stupid and very self-satisfied and very healthy and very well-washed man, and nothing else... He was equable and not cringing with his superiors, was free and ingratiating in his behavior with his equals, and was contemptuously indulgent with his inferiors... for this prince he was an inferior, and his contemptuous and indulgent attitude to him revolted him.”
Leo Tolstoy

“People don’t remember what we think is important; they remember what they think is important.”
John C. Maxwell

“I would just as soon die now, but I haven't done anything yet to be remembered by”
Abraham Lincoln

“The most secretive news that can make you to shake hands with great people is humility. Pride on the other way is a dream killer.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“Those of us who have been true readers all our life seldom fully realise the enormous extension of our being which we owe to authors. We realise it best when we talk with an unliterary friend. He may be full of goodness and good sense but he inhabits a tiny world. In it, we should be suffocated. 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…. 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 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

“People do not recognize that you can do it when you merely tell them you can. Until they see you doing it, they won’t follow you. Leaders who are willing to go further alone today are those to be consulted for solutions tomorrow.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“Nobody on their death bed ever worried about their bank balance.”
Joyce Meyer

“Positive thinkers create large pictures of what they want in their minds and can predict the future from the present.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“God never takes away something from your life without replacing it with something better.”
Billy Graham

“No more terrible disaster could befall your people than for them to fall into the hands of a Hero”
Frank Herbert

“I'm from the government and I'm here to help.”
Ronald Reagan

“One of the great healing balms of the Holy Spirit is forgiveness. To forgive is to break the link between you and your past.”
T.D. Jakes

“Being in power is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren't."
John C. Maxwell
