General Quotes

“Fear can banish faith, but faith can banish fear.”
Billy Graham

“In a word, we may reasonably hope for the virtual abolition of education when I'm as good as you has fully had its way. All incentives to learn and all penalties for not learning will vanish.The few who might want to learn will be prevented; who are they to overtop their fellows? And anyway the teachers--or should I say, nurses?--will be far too busy reassuring the dunces and patting them on the back to waste any time on real teaching. We shall no longer have to plan and toil to spread imperturable conceit and incurable ignorance among men. The little vermin themselves will do it for us.”
C.S. Lewis

"Don't bother too much about your feelings. When they are humble, loving, brave, give thanks for them; when they are conceited, selfish, cowardly, ask to have them altered. In neither case are they you, but only a thing that happens to you. What matters is your intentions and your behavior”
C.S. Lewis

“Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“Freedom prospers when religion is vibrant and the rule of law under God is acknowledged.”
Ronald Reagan

“People often tell me I could be a great man. I'd rather be a good man.”
John F. Kennedy

“You become a master in what you repeatedly do in consistency. Mastery is not born; it is acquired. It is not blood-linked; it is skill-learnt!”
Israelmore Ayivor

“Do we know our poor people? Do we know the poor in our house, in our family? Perhaps they are not hungry for a piece of bread. Perhaps our children, husband, wife, are not hungry, or naked, or dispossessed, but are you sure there is no one there who feels unwanted, deprived of affection?” 
Mother Teresa

“I like to say, “Nothing good happens accidently.” You can catch disease, but you cannot catch health.”
Joyce Meyer

“In fact, you couldn't even be sure that everything you had assumed to be an expression of your black, unfettered self-- the humor, the song, the behind-the-back pass-- had been freely chosen by you. At best, these things were a refuge; at worst, a trap. Following this maddening logic, the only thing you could choose as your own was withdrawal into a smaller and smaller coil of rage, until being black meant only the knowledge of your own powerlessness, of your own defeat. And the final irony: Should you refuse this defeat and lash out at your captors, they would have a name for that, too, a name that could cage you just as good. Paranoid. Militant. Violent. Nigger.”
Barack Obama

“you can act your way into feeling long before you can feel your way into action. If you wait until you feel like doing something, you will likely never accomplish it.”
John C. Maxwell

“I believe a stronger sense of empathy would tilt the balance of our current politics in favor of those people who are struggling in this society. After all if they are like us, then their struggles are our own. If we fail to help we diminish ourselves.”
Barack Obama

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

“Paul crouched at the ready and, as he had been trained to do after first blood, called out: “Do you yield?”
Frank Herbert

“Avoid the penalties of the blame game. You were born to be boss player, not a blame giver. Stop the blame!”
Israelmore Ayivor
