General Quotes

“If hard work is the source of happiness, then we can conclude that the main job of procrastination is to delay that happiness for excuses to kill.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“As long as what you are afraid of is something evil, you may still hope that the good may come to your rescue. But suppose you struggle through to the good and find that it is also dreadful? How if food itself turns out to be the very thing you can’t eat and home the very place you can’t live, and your very comforter the person who makes you uncomfortable. Then, indeed, there is no rescue possible: the last card has been played.”
C.S. Lewis

“Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that this continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said, 'The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.”
Abraham Lincoln

“You've no idea how good an old joke sounds when you take it out again after a rest of five or six hundred years.”

“But truth is hard as adamant and tender as a blossom.”
Mahatma Gandhi

Albert Einstein

“Don't do anything panicky. Don't get your weapons. He who lives by the sword shall perish by the sword. . . We must love our white brothers, no matter what they do to us. We must make them know that we love them. Jesus still cries out in words that echo across the centuries: 'Love your enemies; bless them that curse you; pray for them that despitefully use you.' . . . We must meet hate with love. If I am stopped, our work will not stop. For what we are doing is right. What we are doing is just. And God is with us.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“We expect rewards for goodness, and punishments for the bad things which we do. Often, they are not immediately”
Leo Tolstoy

“If you will remain at rest and hold your peace, then the battle is not yours, but the battle is the Lord’s.”
Joel Osteen

“God has never been impressed with strength or self-sufficiency. In fact, he is drawn to people who are weak and admit it.”
Rick Warren

“I did not have an unlimited library to choose from on Robben Island. We had access to many unremembered mysteries and detective novels and all the works of Daphne du Maurier, but little more.”
Nelson Mandela

“Rather than subsidize the past, we should invest in the future.”
Barack Obama

“Let no man pull you so low as to hate him.”
Martin Luther King Jr
