General Quotes

“We began a contest for liberty ill provided with the means for the war, relying on our patriotism to supply the deficiency. We expected to encounter many wants and distressed… we must bear the present evils and fortitude…”
George Washington

“A mind dominated by positive emotions, becomes a favorable abode for the state of mind known as faith.”
Napoleon Hill

“Piter spoke to Jessica. "I'd thought of binding you by a threat held over your son, but I begin to see that would not have worked. I let emotion cloud reason. Bad policy for a Mentat.”
Frank Herbert

“Popularity and adulation are far more dangerous for the Christian than persecution. It is easy when all goes smoothly to lose our  sense of balance and perspective.”
Billy Graham

“Knock and it shall be opened.' But does knocking mean hammering and kicking the door like a maniac?”
C.S. Lewis

“Identification with everything that lives is impossible without self-purification; without self-purification the observance of the law of Ahimsa must remain an empty dream. God can never be realised by one who is not pure of heart. Self-purification therefore must mean purification in all the walks of life. And purification being highly infectious, purification of oneself necessarily leads to the purification of one’s surroundings.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“One day a friend came by the job site and asked them separately what they were doing. The first said, “Aw, we’re just laying brick. We’ve been doing this for thirty years. It’s so boring. One brick on top of the other.” Then the friend asked the second bricklayer. He just lit up. “Why, we’re building a magnificent skyscraper,” he said. “This structure is going to stand tall for generations to come. I’m just so excited that I could be a part of it.” Each bricklayer’s happiness or lack of it was based on their perspective. You can be laying a brick or you can be building a beautiful skyscraper. The choice is up to you. You can go to work each day and just punch in on the clock and dread being there and do as little as possible. Or you can show up with enthusiasm and give it your best, knowing that you’re making the world a better place.”
Joel Osteen

“I set out on this ground, which I suppose to be self-evident, that the earth belongs in usufruct to the living.”

“YOU ARE "THE MASTER OF YOUR FATE, THE CAPTAIN OF YOUR SOUL,”
Napoleon Hill

“Government does not solve problems. It subsidizes them.”
Ronald Reagan

“Conventional wisdom would say that the less you give, the more you have. The converse is true. The more you give, the more you have.”

“When I was young, I thought it was thunder that kills people. But when I learnt physics in St. Paul's High School, I discovered that it is rather the lightning that does the killing. The voice of the thunder itself is just a noise. The lightning is the poise. I learnt to take the course of my life, not by violence but rather with intelligence.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“Prayer is more than a plea, it is a place where we must spend time if we are to learn its power.”
Billy Graham

“Be absolute for death; for either death or life shall be the sweeter.”
Nelson Mandela

“We are a Nation Under God. If we ever forget this, we are a nation gone UNDER"
