General Quotes

“Light travels faster than sound, thats why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.”
Albert Einstein

“wisdom needs no violence...As it is we have played at war – that’s what’s vile! We play at magnanimity and all that stuff. Such magnanimity and sensibility are like the magnanimity and sensibility of a lady who faints when she sees a calf being killed: she is so kindhearted that she can’t look at blood, but enjoys eating the calf served up with sauce...If there was none of this magnanimity in war, we should go to war only when it was worth while going to certain death, as it is now. Then there would not be war because Paul Ivanovich had offended Michael Ivanovich.”
Leo Tolstoy

“If you think you can you can, if you think you can't you're right!”
Abraham Lincoln

“Jesus invited us not to a picnic, but to a pilgrimage. He offered us, not an excursion, but an execution. Our Savior said that we would have to be ready to die to self, sin, and the world.”
Billy Graham

“God Will Change You Many plans are in a man’s mind, but it is the Lord’s purpose for him that will stand. PROVERBS 19:21 Even though you may still be operating in old habits, you still have hope of change, but you can’t change yourself. God will change you, if you seek Him with your whole heart. Don’t be in a hurry for God to finish working in your life. We want everything to be done instantly, but God is not interested in our schedule. The enemy may thwart your plans, but God’s plans don’t get thwarted, and He has a unique plan for you. Seek God’s plan for your life. Stay on fire, red hot, zealous. Pursue His purpose for you with every ounce of energy you have. There is nothing in this world that is worth seeking more.”
Joyce Meyer

“They ought to find out how to vaccinate for love, like smallpox.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Before Satan there was no sin, and before sin there was no pain.”
Billy Graham

“No government has ever voluntarily reduced itself in size—and that, in a way, became my theme.” 
Ronald Reagan

“Ask [God] to help you reflect Christ as you grow older, instead of turning sour or grumpy.”
Billy Graham

“The generalized theory of relativity has furnished still more remarkable results. This considers not only uniform but also accelerated motion. In particular, it is based on the impossibility of distinguishing an acceleration from the gravitation or other force which produces it. Three consequences of the theory may be mentioned of which two have been confirmed while the third is still on trial: (1) It gives a correct explanation of the residual motion of forty-three seconds of arc per century of the perihelion of Mercury. (2) It predicts the deviation which a ray of light from a star should experience on passing near a large gravitating body, the sun, namely, 1".7. On Newton's corpuscular theory this should be only half as great. As a result of the measurements of the photographs of the eclipse of 1921 the number found was much nearer to the prediction of Einstein, and was inversely proportional to the distance from the center of the sun, in further confirmation of the theory. (3) The theory predicts a displacement of the solar spectral lines, and it seems that this prediction is also verified.”
Albert Einstein

“When the fear of jail disappears, repression puts heart into the people.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“Do not crave to know the views of others, nor base your intent thereon. To think independently for yourself is a sign of fearlessness.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“Margaret Mead, who said, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”
Ben Carson

“He stepped down trying not to look long at her, as though she were the sun, yet he saw her as one sees the sun, without looking.”
Leo Tolstoy
