General Quotes

“If you are influenced by the opinions of others, you will have no desire of your own.”
Napoleon Hill

“The executive power in our government is not the only, perhaps not even the principal, object of my solicitude. The tyranny of the legislature is really the danger most to be feared, and will continue to be so for many years to come. The tyranny of the executive power will come in its turn, but at a more distant period.” 
Thomas Jefferson

“Take the first step in faith, you don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“I'm hunger. I'm thirst. Where I bite, I hold till I die, and even after death they must cut out my mouthful from my enemy's body and bury it with me. I can fast a hundred years and not die. I can lie a hundred nights on the ice and not freeze. I can drink a river of blood and not burst. Show me your enemies.”
C.S. Lewis

“I have learned now that while those who speak about one's miseries usually hurt, those who keep silence hurt more.” 
C.S. Lewis

“If we take habitual drunkards as a class, their heads and hearts will bear an advantageous comparison with those of any other class.”
Abraham Lincoln

“Choose to stop fighting and trust God to fight for you. That is how to win a battle.”
Joyce Meyer

“Preparation (growth) + Attitude + Opportunity + Action (doing something about it) = Luck”
John C. Maxwell

“[Pierre] involuntarily started comparing these two men, so different and at the same time so similar, because of the love he had for both of them, and because both had lived and both had died.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Difference of opinion is advantageous in religion. The several sects perform the office of a Censor morum over each other. Is uniformity attainable? Millions of innocent men, women, and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined, imprisoned; yet we have not advanced one inch towards uniformity. What has been the effect of coercion? To make one half the world fools, and the other half hypocrites. To support roguery and error all over the earth. Let us reflect that it is inhabited by a thousand millions of people. That these profess probably a thousand different systems of religion. That ours is but one of that thousand. That if there be but one right, and ours that one, we should wish to see the 999 wandering sects gathered into the fold of truth. But against such a majority we cannot effect this by force. Reason and persuasion are the only practicable instruments. To make way for these, free enquiry must be indulged; and how can we wish others to indulge it while we refuse it ourselves.”
Thomas Jefferson

“Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations...entangling alliances with none”
Thomas Jefferson

“It does not matter how small the sins are provided that their cumulative effect is to edge the man away from the Light and out into the Nothing. Murder is no better than cards if cards can do the trick. Indeed the safest road to Hell is the gradual one--the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts.”
C.S. Lewis

“George Matthew Adams asserts, "In this life, we get only those things for which we hunt, for which we strive, and for which we are willing to sacrifice. It is better to aim for something you want—even though you miss it—than to get something that you didn't aim to get, and which you don't want!
John C. Maxwell

“We need to realize that poverty doesn't only consist of being hungry for bread, but rather it is a tremendous hunger for human dignity. We need to love and to be someone for someone else”
Mother Teresa

“I don't believe in a government that protects us from ourselves.”
Ronald Reagan
