General Quotes

“Greatness is a transitory experience. It is never consistent. It depends in part on the myth-making imagination of humankind. The person who experiences greatness must have a feeling for the myth he is in. He must reflect what is projected upon him.”
Frank Herbert

“Man, the living creature, the creating individual, is always more important than any established style or system.”
Bruce Lee

“Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past, let us accept our own responsibility for the future.”
John F. Kennedy

“Think, Act, Talk, and Conduct Yourself Like the Person You Want to Become”
John C. Maxwell

“began to read in Proverbs. Immediately I saw a string of verses about angry people and how they get themselves into trouble. Proverbs 16:32 impressed me the most: “He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city” (RSV). My lips moved wordlessly as I continued to read. I felt as though the verses had been written just to me, for me. The words of Proverbs condemned me, but they also gave me hope. After a while peace begin to fill my mind. My hands stopped shaking. The tears stopped. During those hours alone in the bathroom,”
Ben Carson

“If you enjoy peace now, remember it is out of the toils of those who were gone before you. The question is "will you leave peace behind you when you are gone"?”
Israelmore Ayivor

“You are all misleading one another, and are yourselves deceived. The sun does not go round the earth, but the earth goes round the sun, revolving as it goes, and turning towards the sun in the course of each twenty-four hours, not only Japan, and the Philippines, and Sumatra where we now are, but Africa, and Europe, and America, and many lands besides. The sun does not shine for some one mountain, or for some one island, or for some one sea, nor even for one earth alone, but for other planets as well as our earth. If you would only look up at the heavens, instead of at the ground beneath your own feet, you might all understand this, and would then no longer suppose that the sun shines for you, or for your country alone.”
Leo Tolstoy

“He doesn’t appear much, does he—one frightened old fat man too weak to support his own flesh without the help of suspensors.”
Frank Herbert

“Positive expectations are the mark of the superior personality.”
Brian Tracy

If you wait to become a conqueror before you believe you are one, you are mistaken. You have to confess it first to become one. Faith’s confessions create reality.” 
Kenneth E. Hagin

“out from under it. “We never do anything well 'til we cease to think about the manner of doing it.” —William Hazlitt”
Zig Ziglar

“The peace Jesus gives operates in good times or bad, when you are abounding or being abased. His peace operates in the middle of the storm. It”
Joyce Meyer

“Common to all these types is the anthropomorphic character of their conception of God. In general, only individuals of exceptional endowments, and exceptionally high-minded communities, rise to any considerable extent above this level. But there is a third stage of religious experience which belongs to all of them, even though it is rarely found in a pure form: I shall call it cosmic religious feeling. It is very difficult to elucidate this feeling to anyone who is entirely without it, especially as there is no anthropomorphic conception of God corresponding to it. The individual feels the futility of human desires and aims and the sublimity and marvelous order which reveal themselves both in nature and in the world of thought. Individual existence impresses him as a sort of prison and he wants to experience the universe as a single significant whole. The beginnings of cosmic religious feeling already appear at an early stage of development, e.g., in many of the Psalms of David and in some of the Prophets. Buddhism, as we have learned especially from the wonderful writings of Schopenhauer, contains a much stronger element of this.”
Albert Einstein

“The struggle of today, is not altogether for today - it is for a vast future also.”
Abraham Lincoln

“A universal feeling, whether well or ill-founded cannot be safely disregarded.”
Abraham Lincoln
