General Quotes

“It is unlikely that it was the intention of the founders to give any public official the ability to thwart the will of the people. Although they may have been concerned about mob rule and wanted a judicial system that would prevent that, they also recognized that in many other countries it was assumed that the ruling class always knew better than the people, and they wanted no part of such a system.”
Ben Carson

“You have a nicety of awareness of the difference between a blade's edge and its tip.”
Frank Herbert

“Value yourself more.”
Oprah Winfrey

“The more you seek security, the less of it you have. But the more you seek  opportunity, the more likely it is that you will achieve the security that you  desire.”
Brian Tracy

“Whatever our fate is or may be, we have made it and do not complain of it."
Leo Tolstoy

“Prophecy and prescience—How can they be put to the test in the face of the unanswered question? Consider: How much is actual prediction of the “wave form” (as Muad’Dib referred to his vision-image) and how much is the prophet shaping the future to fit the prophecy? What of the harmonics inherent in the act of prophecy? Does the prophet see the future or does he see a line of weakness, a fault or cleavage that he may shatter with words or decisions as a diamond-cutter shatters his gem with a blow of a knife?”
Frank Herbert

“To become a better you, be diligent and never let the charms of procrastination and excuses seduce you to fall for mediocrity.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“There are no rules here -- we're trying to accomplish something.”
Thomas A. Edison

“Your challenge is to live in such a way as to cause others to win.”
Joel Osteen

“The best fighter is not a Boxer, Karate or Judo man. The best fighter is someone who can adapt on any style. He kicks too good for a Boxer, throws too good for a Karate man, and punches too good for a Judo man.”
Bruce Lee

“The Situation Principle: Never let the situation mean more than the relationship.”
John C. Maxwell

“On the first day of school, my teacher, Miss Mdingane, gave each of us an English name and said that from thenceforth that was the name we would answer to in school. This was the custom among Africans in those days and was undoubtedly due to the British bias of our education. The education I received was a British education, in which British ideas, British culture, British institutions, were automatically assumed to be superior. There was no such thing as African culture. Africans of my generation—and even today—generally have both an English and an African name. Whites were either unable or unwilling to pronounce an African name, and considered it uncivilized to have one. That day, Miss Mdingane told me that my new name was Nelson. Why she bestowed this particular name upon me I have no idea. Perhaps it had something to do with the great British sea captain Lord Nelson, but that would be only a guess.”
Nelson Mandela

“Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms, those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny; and it is believed that the most effectual means of preventing this would be, to illuminate, as far as practicable, the minds of the people at large...”
Thomas Jefferson

“You must reject common thinking if you want to accomplish uncommon results.”
John C. Maxwell

“One might say that our words are a movie screen that reveals what we have been thinking and the attitudes that we have.”
Joyce Meyer
