General Quotes

“I believe all of us can identify with the poet Carl Sandberg, who said, “There is an eagle in me that wants to soar and a hippopotamus in me that wants to wallow in the mud.” The key to success is following the impulse to soar more than the desire to wallow. And that is a never-ending struggle—at least it has been for me. I believe any successful person would be honest in saying, “I got to the top the hard way—fighting my own laziness and ignorance every step of the way.”
John C. Maxwell

Leo Tolstoy

“History, I believe, furnishes no example of a priest-ridden people maintaining a free civil government. This marks the lowest grade of ignorance of which their civil as well as religious leaders will always avail themselves for their own purposes.”
Thomas Jefferson

Leo Tolstoy

“There is no life as empty as the self-centered life. There is no life as centered as the self-empty life.”
John C. Maxwell

“Impression without expression causes depression. Study without service leads to spiritual stagnation.”
Rick Warren

Israelmore Ayivor

“She looked at patches of blackness. Black is a blind remembering, she thought.”
Frank Herbert

“A commercial company enslaved a nation comprising two hundred millions. Tell this to a man free from superstition and he will fail to grasp what these words mean. What does it mean that thirty thousand people, not athletes, but rather weak and ordinary people, have enslaved two hundred millions of vigorous, clever, capable, freedom-loving people? Do not the figures make it clear that not the English, but the Indians, have enslaved themselves?”
Mahatma Gandhi
