General Quotes

“Happiness depends upon ourselves.”
Aristotle

“If you see that some aspect of your society is bad, and you want to improve it, there is only one way to do so: you have to improve people. And in order to improve people, you begin with only one thing: you can become better yourself”
Leo Tolstoy

“The greatest testimony to this dark world today would be a band of crucified and risen men and women, dead to sin and alive unto God, bearing in their bodies “the marks of the Lord Jesus” [Galatians 6:17 NKJV].”
Billy Graham

“The mind is the devil’s favorite avenue of attack.”
Billy Graham

“So it would be, were it not for the law of inertia, as immutable a force in men and nations as in inanimate bodies. In men it takes the form of the psychological principle, so truly expressed in the words of the Gospel, " They have loved darkness better than light, because their deeds were evil." This principle shows itself in men not trying to recognise the truth, but to persuade themselves that the life they are leading, which is what they like and are used to, is a life perfectly consistent with truth.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Therefore, all these causes-billions of causes-coincided so as to bring about what happened. And consequently none of them was the exclusive cause of the event, but the event had to take place simply because it had to take place.”
Leo Tolstoy

“For the first time in his life he knew the bitterest sort of misfortune, misfortune beyond remedy, misfortune his own fault.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude.”
Zig Ziglar

“God has given us two hands--one to receive with and the other to give with. We are not cisterns made for hoarding; we are channels made for sharing.”
Billy Graham

“You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“If you aim at nothing, you will hit it every time.”
Zig Ziglar

“For pride is spiritual cancer: it eats up the very possibility of love, or contentment, or even common sense.”
C.S. Lewis

“I expect you have seen someone put a a lighted match to a bit of newspaper which is propped up in a grate against an unlit fire. And for a second nothing seems to have happened; and then you notice a tiny steak of flame creeping along the edged of the newspaper. It was like that now.”
C.S. Lewis

“In spite of Stepan Arkadyevitch's efforts to be an attentive father and husband, he never could keep in his mind that he had a wife and children.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can't lose.”
Bill Gates
