General Quotes

“An addiction is something that controls people—something they feel they cannot do without or something they do to alleviate pain or pressure. It is what people run to when they are hurting or feel lonely. It comes in many varieties, such as drugs, alcohol, gambling, sex, shopping, eating, work—and yes, even approval. Like any addict, insecure people look for a “fix” when they get shaky. They need someone to reaffirm them and assure them everything is all right and they are acceptable. When a person has an addiction the things they are addicted to are on their mind most of the time. Therefore, if a person is an approval addict, he or she will have an abnormal concern and an abundance of thoughts about what people think of them
Joyce Meyer

“When people show you who they are; believe them.”
Oprah Winfrey

“The very act of visualizing yourself performing at your best prior to any event or activity will improve your performance.”
Brian Tracy

“Create the highest, grandest vision possible for your life, because you become what you believe”
Oprah Winfrey

“In an ideal world, both parties would desire to uphold the Constitution,”
Ben Carson

“Death, the inevitable end of everything, confronted him for the first time with irresistible force.
Leo Tolstoy

“Just find out what other successful people do and do the same things until you get the same results. Learn from the experts. Wow! What an idea. Success”
Brian Tracy

“Art is not a handicraft; it is the transmission of feeling the artist has experienced.
Leo Tolstoy

“To understand techniques, you must learn that they contain a lot of condensed movement.”
Bruce Lee

“I believe we should pray that God will take possession of our lives totally and completely. We should pray that we will be emptied of self— self-love, self-will, self-ambition—and be placed completely at His disposal.”
Billy Graham

“Talk to me about the truth of religion and I'll listen gladly. Talk to me about the duty of religion and I'll listen submissively. But don't come talking to me about the consolations of religion or I shall suspect that you don't understand. Unless, of course, you can literally believe all that stuff about family reunions 'on the further shore,' pictured in entirely earthly terms. But that is all unscriptural, all out of bad hymns and lithographs. There's not a word of it in the Bible. And it rings false. We know it couldn't be like that. Reality never repeats. The exact same thing is never taken away and given back. How well the Spiritualists bait their hook! 'Things on this side are not so different after all.' There are cigars in Heaven. For that is what we should all like. The happy past restored.”
C.S. Lewis

“Life is not fair get used to used to it”
Bill Gates

“So it would be, were it not for the law of inertia, as immutable a force in men and nations as in inanimate bodies. In men it takes the form of the psychological principle, so truly expressed in the words of the Gospel, " They have loved darkness better than light, because their deeds were evil." This principle shows itself in men not trying to recognise the truth, but to persuade themselves that the life they are leading, which is what they like and are used to, is a life perfectly consistent with truth.”
Leo Tolstoy

“If no set of moral ideas were truer or better than any other, there would be no sense in preferring civilised morality to savage morality.”
C.S. Lewis

“Once you say you're going to settle for second, that's what happens to you in life, I find.
John F. Kennedy
