General Quotes

“He who banishes all bad desires arising in his mind may be described as a sthita-prajna — one who is situated in perfect knowledge, one who is steadfast in action. Though, of course, ultimately we all should arrive at a stage when we should banish all desires, even the desire to see God; to a person in that stage all action becomes spontaneous. After one has seen God face to face, how can the desire to see Him still remain? When you have already jumped into the river, the desire to do so will no longer be there. Our desire to see God ceases when we are lost in Him, have become one with Him.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“A large part of our attitude toward things is conditioned by opinions and emotions which we unconsciously absorb as children from our environment.

Albert Einstein

“Christians should seek after holiness—without which no man shall see the Lord. Let us seek ardently the kind of life that reflects the beauty of Jesus and marks us as being what saints ought to be!”
Billy Graham

“It is not my ambition to marry a white woman or swim in a white pool. It is political equality that we want.”

“Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen.”

“He knew she was there by the rapture and the terror that seized on his heart. She was standing talking to a lady at the opposite end of the ground. There was apparently nothing striking either in her dress or her attitude. But for Levin she was as easy to find in that crowd as a rose among nettles. Everything was made bright by her. She was the smile that shed light on all round her. "Is it possible I can go over there on the ice, go up to her?" he thought. The place where she stood seemed to him a holy shrine, unapproachable, and there was one moment when he was almost retreating, so overwhelmed was he with terror. He had to make an effort to master himself, and to remind himself that people of all sorts were moving about her, and that he too might come there to skate. He walked down, for a long while avoiding looking at her as at the sun, but seeing her, as one does the sun, without looking.
Leo Tolstoy

“الظلم يسلب كلاً من الظالم والمظلوم حريته” 
Nelson Mandela

“It is rather pointless to go head to head with strong and entrenched competition. But numerous opportunities can be found in the marketplace for a company to maximize its unique qualities, differentiate its products and services, and go after a specific market segment where its competitors are weak and where you can develop superiority, where you can win battles.”
Brian Tracy

Nelson Mandela

“QUESTION TO CONSIDER: What area of my life am I holding back from God?”
Rick Warren

“The strongest of all warriors are these two — Time and Patience.”
Leo Tolstoy

“The Christian does not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves us.”
C.S. Lewis
