General Quotes

“LACK OF SELF-DISCIPLINE. Discipline comes through self-control. This means that you must control all negative qualities. Before you can control conditions, you must first control yourself. Self-mastery is the hardest job you will ever tackle. If you do not conquer self, you will be conquered by self. You may see at one and the same time both your best friend and your greatest enemy, by stepping in front of a mirror.” 
Napoleon Hill

“Whatever you begin will see the light of day provided you can dream big and be a ruler over your dreams with persistent actions.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“Poverty was not created by God. It is we who have caused it, you and I through our egotism.”
Mother Teresa

“Movie and television stars lay down the law of fashions, manners, speech, and even moral behavior. It has been proven that a movie or a television program can brainwash.”
Billy Graham

“Don’t allow feelings of any kind to dominate you, but instead remember that feelings are fickle. They are ever-changing. The bad ones are there when you wish they weren’t, and the good ones disappear when you need them most.”
Joyce Meyer

“I never could bring myself to trust a traitor,” the Baron said. “Not even a traitor I created.”
Frank Herbert

“I wish that all nations may recover and retain their independence; that those which are overgrown may not advance beyond safe measures of power, that a salutary balance may be ever maintained among nations, and that our peace, commerce, and friendship, may be sought and cultivated by all. It is our business to manufacture for ourselves whatever we can, to keep our markets open for what we can spare or want; and the less we have to do with the amities or enmities of Europe, the better. Not in our day, but at no distant one, we may shake a rod over the heads of all, which may make the stoutest of them tremble. But I hope our wisdom will grow with our power, and teach us, that the less we use our power, the greater it will be.”
Thomas Jefferson

“Victory attained by violence is tantamount to a defeat for it is momentary."
Mahatma Gandhi

“Christians who are strong in the faith grow as they accept whatever God allows to enter their lives.”
Billy Graham

“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

“Guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism.”
George Washington

“Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.”
Mother Teresa

“You will achieve more in this world through acts of mercy than you will through acts of retribution.”
Nelson Mandela

“There is no need to be worried by facetious people who try to make the Christian hope of ‘Heaven’ ridiculous by saying they do not want ‘to spend eternity playing harps’. The answer to such people is that if they cannot understand books written for grown-ups, they should not talk about them. All the scriptural imagery (harps, crowns, gold, etc.) is, of course, a merely symbolical attempt to express the inexpressible. Musical instruments are mentioned because for many people (not all) music is the thing known in the present life which most strongly suggests ecstasy and infinity. Crowns are mentioned to suggest the fact that those who are united with God in eternity share His splendour and power and joy. Gold is mentioned to suggest the timelessness of Heaven (gold does not rust) and the preciousness of it. People who take these symbols literally might as well think that when Christ told us to be like doves, He meant that we were to lay eggs.”
C.S. Lewis

“One had to cram all this stuff into one's mind for the examinations, whether one liked it or not. This coercion had such a deterring effect on me that, after I had passed the final examination, I found the consideration of any scientific problems distasteful to me for an entire year.”
Albert Einstein
