“Non-violence, which is the quality of the heart, cannot come by an appeal to the brain.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“But courage, child: we are all between the paws of the true Aslan.”
C.S. Lewis

“A battle is won by the side that is absolutely determined to win. Why did we lose the battle of Austerlitz? Our casualties were about the same as those of the French, but we had told ourselves early in the day that the battle was lost, so it was lost.
Leo Tolstoy

“Let me implore the reader to try to believe, if only for a moment, that God, who made these deserving people, may really be right when He thinks that their modest prosperity and the happiness of their children are not enough to make them blessed: that all this must fall from them in the end, and if they have not learned to know Him they will be wretched. And therefore He troubles them, warning them in advance of an insufficiency that one day they will have to discover. The life to themselves and their families stands between them and the recognition of their need; He makes that life less sweet to them. If God were proud He would hardly have us on such terms: but He is not proud, He stoops to conquer, He will have us even though we have shown that we prefer everything else to Him, and come to Him because there is 'nothing better' now to be had.”
C.S. Lewis

“You are responsible for your life. You can't keep blaming somebody else for your dysfunction. Life is really about moving on.”
Oprah Winfrey

“Focus on giving smiles away and you will always discover that your own smiles will always be in great supply!” 
Joyce Meyer

“You are never persuasive when you're abrasive.”
Rick Warren

“What you see to be difficult now, is likely to be the easiest thing ever later when you deliberately get your willpower trained over it by repeated attempts! Don't give up!”
Israelmore Ayivor

“To stimulate creativity, one must develop the childlike inclination for play and the childlike desire for recognition”
Albert Einstein

“He soon felt that the realization of his desire had given him only a grain of the mountain of happiness he had expected. It showed him the eternal error people make in imagining that happiness is the realization of desires.”
Leo Tolstoy

“A vision without a task is but a dream. A task without a vision is drudgery. But a vision and a task are the hope of the world.” 
Zig Ziglar

“Whatever you believe, with feeling, becomes your reality.”
Brian Tracy

“things in this life can be separated into two categories: Things that are valuable and things that matter.”
Jim Stovall

“...I became acutely aware of an unusual ability--a divine gift, I believe--of extraordinary eye and hand coordination. It’s my belief that God gives us all gifts, special abilities that we have the privilege of developing to help us serve Him and humanity. And the gift of eye and hand coordination has been an invaluable asset in surgery. This gift goes beyond eye-hand coordination, encompassing the ability to understand physical relationships, to think in three dimensions. Good surgeons must understand the consequences of each action, for they’re often not able to see what’s happening to see on the other side of the area in which the area they’re actually working.”
Ben Carson

“We use a most unfortunate idiom when we say, of a lustful man prowling the streets, that he "wants a woman". Strictly speaking, a woman is just what he does not want. He wants a pleasure for which a woman happens to be the necessary piece of apparatus. How much he cares about the woman as such may be gauged by his attitude for her five minutes after fruition.”
C.S. Lewis
