General Quotes

“Beware the abuse of Power. Both by those we disagree with, as well as those we may agree with”
Ben Carson

“The problems of the world cannot possibly be solved by skeptics or cynics whose horizons are limited by the obvious realities. We need men who can dream of things that never were.”
John F. Kennedy

“We do not want freedom without bread, nor do we want bread without freedom.
Nelson Mandela

“I [am] obliged to recur ultimately to my habitual anodyne, "I feel: therefore I exist." I feel bodies which are not myself: there are other existencies then. I call them "matter". I feel them changing place. This gives me "motion". Where there is an absence of matter, I call it "void", or "nothing", or "immaterial space". On the basis of sensation, of matter and motion, we may erect the fabric of all the certainties we can have or need.” 
Thomas Jefferson

“India, US to resume talks on investment pact; US President Barack Obama lauds reforms”
Barack Obama

“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.”
Jim Stovall

“You seem to consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions; a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy. Our judges are as honest as other men, and not more so. They have, with others, the same passions for party, for power, and the privilege of their corps.... Their power [is] the more dangerous as they are in office for life, and not responsible, as the other functionaries are, to the elective control. The Constitution has erected no such single tribunal, knowing that to whatever hands confided, with the corruptions of time and party, its members would become despots. It has more wisely made all the departments co-equal and co-sovereign within themselves.” 
Thomas Jefferson

“Christianity is not an insurance policy against life’s ills and troubles.”
Billy Graham

“Negativity may misguide a person to see daylight as moonlight; and then he goes to sleep instead of rising up to work. No every irresponsible act is caused by laziness; negative attitudes take a bigger share!”
Israelmore Ayivor

“Force always attracts men of low morality.” 
Albert Einstein

“Divorce is not merely separating; it is the tearing apart of what was once joined together.”
T.D. Jakes

“When one bears suffering faithfully, God is glorified and honored.”
Billy Graham

“A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination.”
Nelson Mandela

“. . . that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. - President Abraham Lincoln, Gettysburg address, November 19, 1863”
Abraham Lincoln

“My life came to a standstill. I could breathe, eat, drink and sleep, and I could not help doing these things; but there was no life, for there were no wishes the fulfilment of which I could consider reasonable. If I desired anything, I knew in advance that whether I satisfied my desire or not, nothing would come of it. Had a fairy come and offered to fulfil my desires I should not have known what to ask. If in moments of intoxication I felt something which, though not a wish, was a habit left by former wishes, in sober moments I knew this to be a delusion and that there was really nothing to wish for. I could not even wish to know the truth, for I guess of what it consisted. The truth was that life is meaningless.”
Leo Tolstoy
