General Quotes

“... we will do this not because it is easy, but because it is hard ...” 
John F. Kennedy

“I have at last come to the end of the Faerie Queene: and though I say "at last", I almost wish he had lived to write six books more as he had hoped to do — so much have I enjoyed it.”
C.S. Lewis

“To attain to perfect purity one has to become absolutely passion-free in thought, speech and action; to rise above the opposing currents of love and hatred, attachment and repulsion.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“I know, I have seen, the desperation and disorder of the powerless: how it twists the lives of children on the streets of Jakarta or Nairobi in much the same way as it does the lives of children on Chicago’s South Side, how narrow the path is for them between humiliation and untrammeled fury, how easily they slip into violence and despair. I know that the response of the powerful to this disorder—alternating as it does between a dull complacency and, when the disorder spills out of its proscribed confines, a steady, unthinking application of force, of longer prison sentences and more sophisticated military hardware—is inadequate to the task. I know that the hardening of lines, the embrace of fundamentalism and tribe, dooms us all. And so what was a more interior, intimate effort on my part, to understand this struggle and to find my place in it, has converged with a broader public debate, a debate in which I am professionally engaged, one that will shape our lives and the lives of our children for many years to come.
Barack Obama

“In matters of conscience, the law of the majority has no place.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“With my past forgiven, my present secure, and my future irrevocably guaranteed, why shouldn’t I be enthusiastically optimistic?”
Zig Ziglar

“Only a real risk tests the reality of a belief.”
C.S. Lewis

“The emotion of sex is an “irresistible force,” against which there can be no such opposition as an “immovable body.” When driven by this emotion, men become gifted with a super power for action
Napoleon Hill

“For alongside our famous individualism, there's another ingredient in the American saga- a belief that we're all connected as one people. If there's a child on the south side of Chicago who can't read, that matters to me- even if it's not my child. If there's a senior citizen somewhere who can't pay for their prescription drugs and has to choose between medicine and the rent, that makes my life poorer- even if it's not my grandparent. If there's an Arab-American family being rounded up without benefit of an attorney or due process, that that threatens my civil liberties. It is that fundamental belief- I am my brother’s keeper, I am my sister’s keeper- that makes this country work.”
Barack Obama

“The only way when your thirst for excellence is satisfied is when you take up the challenge to do a little more every day than you have already been doing every day!”
Israelmore Ayivor

“Don't sit around depressed and discouraged. Get a new vision for your life.”
Joel Osteen

“Mathematics is the queen of disciplines.... it will drive the nonsense out of your head!”
Leo Tolstoy

“Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity.”
John C. Maxwell

“Hatred can be overcome only by love. ”
Mahatma Gandhi

“Do things you’ve always wanted to do. You are the single most influence on your life.”
Oprah Winfrey
