General Quotes

“I wrote everything into Anna Karenina, and nothing was left over.”
Leo Tolstoy

“You can get everything in your life, if you help other people to get what they want” 
Zig Ziglar

“Eventually my rejection of authority spilled into self-indulgence and self-destructiveness, and by the time I enrolled in college, I'd begun to see how any challenge to convention harbored within it the possibility of its own excesses and its own orthodoxy. I started to reexamine my assumptions, and recalled the values my mother and grandparents had taught me. In this slow, fitful process of sorting out what I believed, I began silently registering the point in dorm-room conversations when my college friends and I stopped thinking and slipped into can't: the point at which the denunciations of capitalism or American imperialism came too easily, and the freedom from the constraints of monogamy or religion was proclaimed without fully understanding the value of such constraints, and the role of victim was too readily embraced as a means of shedding responsibility, or asserting entitlement, or claiming moral superiority over those not so victimized.”
Barack Obama

“no labor is really menial unless you’re not getting adequate wages.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“Too many people are living below their privileges. It’s because their vision has been clouded by past mistakes, disappointments, or how they were raised. They don’t feel like royalty. They don’t think they could be successful and really accomplish what God has put in their hearts. But I believe today, as I’m speaking faith into you, something is happening on the inside.”
Joel Osteen

“What lies ahead of you & what lies behind you is nothing compared to what lies within you.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“The contest is not between Us and Them, but between Good and Evil, and if those who would fight Evil adopt the ways of Evil, Evil wins.”

“Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle.”
Abraham Lincoln

“De werkelijkheid is louter illusie, maar wel een hardnekkige.”
Albert Einstein

“They spend half they lives worrying about what white folks think.”
Barack Obama

“60 percent of all management problems are the result of faulty communications.”
John C. Maxwell

“You may be 38 years old, as I happen to be. And one day, some great opportunity stands before you and calls you to stand up for some great principle, some great issue, some great cause. And you refuse to do it because you are afraid…. You refuse to do it because you want to live longer…. You’re afraid that you will lose your job, or you are afraid that you will be criticized or that you will lose your popularity, or you’re afraid that somebody will stab you, or shoot at you or bomb your house; so you refuse to take the stand. Well, you may go on and live until you are 90, but you’re just as dead at 38 as you would be at 90. And the cessation of breathing in your life is but the belated announcement of an earlier death of the spirit.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“I have never cared very much for personal prizes. A person does not become a freedom fighter in the hope of winning awards.”
Nelson Mandela

“A genius is simply one who has taken full possession of his own mind and directed it toward objectives of his own choosing, without permitting outside influences to discourage or mislead him.”
Napoleon Hill
