General Quotes

“Anna Arkadyevna read and understood, but it was distasteful to her to read, that is, to follow the reflection of other people’s lives. She had too great a desire to live herself. If she read that the heroine of the novel was nursing a sick man, she longed to move with noiseless steps about the room of a sick man; if she read of a member of Parliament making a speech, she longed to be delivering the speech; if she read of how Lady Mary had ridden after the hounds, and had provoked her sister-in-law, and had surprised everyone by her boldness, she too wished to be doing the same. But there was no chance of doing anything; and twisting the smooth paper knife in her little hands, she forced herself to read.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Those who are unaware they are walking in darkness will never seek the light.”
Bruce Lee

“is commonplace today to find large groups of people who believe the government has a responsibility to take care of all the basic necessities of its citizens. Benjamin Franklin, however, wrote: To relieve the misfortunes of our fellow creatures is concurring with the Deity; it is godlike; but, if we provide encouragement for laziness, and supports for folly, may we not be found fighting against the order of God and nature, which perhaps has appointed want and misery as the proper punishments for, and cautions against, as well as necessary consequences of, idleness and extravagance? Whenever we attempt to amend the scheme of Providence, and to interfere with the government of the world, we had need be very circumspect, lest we do more harm than good.
Ben Carson

“Use the first moments in study. You may miss many an opportunity for quick victory in this way, but the moment the study are in insurance of success. Take your time and be sure.”
Frank Herbert

“He was fond of angling, and seemed proud of being able to like such a stupid occupation.”
Leo Tolstoy

“We, the people, declare today that the most evident of truths – that all of us are created equal – is the star that guides us still; just as it guided our forebears through Seneca Falls, and Selma, and Stonewall.”
Barack Obama

“But the Law of Magnetism really is true: who you are is who you attract.”
John C. Maxwell

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

“God wanted us to do something, and we went the bad way. Then he said "No!, I am not going to lose what I want done!, So I'm gonna save this people and restore their dreams back to them"!”
Israelmore Ayivor

“It is unpredictable for you to know which of the strangers you are about to meet that becomes your friend. Be polite to every stranger!”
Israelmore Ayivor

“The people who can destroy a thing, they control it.”
Frank Herbert

“Paul sat down where Hawat had been, straightened the papers. One more day here, he thought. He looked around the room. We’re leaving. The idea of departure was suddenly more real to him than it had ever been before. He recalled another thing the old woman had said about a world being the sum of many things—the people, the dirt, the growing things, the moons, the tides, the suns—the unknown sum called nature, a vague summation without any sense of the now. And he wondered: What is the now?” 
Frank Herbert

“Never say "I don't care"! We are all looking up to you. Dare to break the fence that confines you! Make it happen!”
Israelmore Ayivor

“Goals are the fuel in the furnace of achievement”
Brian Tracy

“Whenever men and women straighten their backs up, they are going somewhere, because a man can't ride your back unless it is bent”

Martin Luther King Jr
