General Quotes

“We have made men proud of most vices, but not of cowardice. Whenever we have almost succeeded in doing so, God permits a war or an earthquake or some other calamity, and at once courage becomes so obviously lovely and important even in human eyes that all our work is undone, and there is still at least one vice of which they feel genuine shame. The danger of inducing cowardice in our patients, therefore, is lest we produce real self-knowledge and self-loathing, with consequent repentance and humility.”
C.S. Lewis

“I now see that I spent most of my life in doing neither what I ought nor what I liked.”
C.S. Lewis

“Every great railroad, and every outstanding financial institution and every mammoth business enterprise, and every great invention, began in the imagination of some one person.”
Napoleon Hill

“But live while you live, tomorrow you die...”
Leo Tolstoy

“... in marriage the great thing was love, and that with love one would always be happy, for happiness rests only on oneself.”
Leo Tolstoy

“The Moral Law isn't any one instinct or any set of instincts: it is something which makes a kind of tune (the tune we call goodness or right conduct) by directing the instincts. (...) The most dangerous thing you can do is to take any one impulse of your own nature and set it up as the thing you ought to follow at all costs. There's not one of them which won't make us into devils if we set it up as an absolute guide. You might think love of humanity in general was safe, but it isn't. If you leave out justice you'll find yourself breaking agreements and faking evidence in trials 'for the sake of humanity,' and become in the end a cruel and treacherous man.”
C.S. Lewis

“Las circunstancias cambian; las personas se mueren; los hijos crecen; no hay garantías para el mañana. Si quieres expresar tu amor, más vale que lo hagas ahora mismo.”
Rick Warren

“Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority share in it.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Freedom is indivisible; the chains on any one of my people were the chains on all of them, the chains on all of my people were the chains on me.”
Nelson Mandela

“For a few seconds they looked silently into each other's eyes, and the distant and impossible suddenly became near, possible, and inevitable.”
Leo Tolstoy

“In the final analysis it is between you and God, it was never between you and them anyway.” 
Mother Teresa

“When a Truthsayer's gifted by the drug, she can look many places in her memory - in her body's memory. We look down so many avenues of the past... but only feminine avenues... Yet there's a place no Truthsayer can see. We are repelled by it, terrorized. It is said a man will come one day and find in the gift of the drug his inward eye. He will look where we cannot - into both feminine and masculine pasts... Many men have tried the drug... so many, but none has succeeded." "They tried and failed, all of them?" "They tried and died.”
Frank Herbert

“wormfaced, crawling, sand-brained piece of lizard turd!”
Frank Herbert

“My liberty depends on you being free, too.”
Barack Obama

“True life is lived when tiny changes occur.”
