General Quotes

“The best stories don't come from "good vs. bad" but "good vs. good.”
Leo Tolstoy

“A leader is great, not because of his or her power, but because of his or her ability to empower others.”
John C. Maxwell

“Influencing others is a matter of disposition, not position.”
John C. Maxwell

“If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.”
John F. Kennedy

“We pray to a moon: she is round— Luck with us will then abound, What we seek for shall be found In the land of solid ground.”
Frank Herbert

“I could not swallow this. I told him that, if the sheep had speech, they would tell a different tale. I felt that the cruel custom ought to be stopped. I thought of the story of Buddha, but I also saw that the task was beyond my capacity. I hold today the same opinion as I held then. To my mind the life of a lamb is no less precious than that of a human being. I should be unwilling to take the life of a lamb for the sake of the human body. I hold that, the more helpless a creature, the more entitled it is to protection by man from the cruelty of man. But he who has not qualified himself for such service is unable to afford to it any protection. I must go through more self-purification and sacrifice, before I can hope to save these lambs from this unholy sacrifice. Today I think I must die pining for this self-purification and sacrifice. It is my constant prayer that there may be born on earth some great spirit, man or woman, fired with divine pity, who will deliver us from this heinous sin, save the lives of the innocent creatures, and purify the temple. How is it that Bengal with all its knowledge, intelligence, sacrifice, and emotion tolerates this slaughter?”
Mahatma Gandhi

“As Michael Kami, the strategy expert, wrote, “Those who do not plan for the future cannot have one.” Personal”
Brian Tracy

“Commit yourself to lifelong learning. The most valuable asset you'll ever have is your mind and what you put into it.”
Brian Tracy

“If you are determined to succeed in life, God’s grace will enable you to do what may seem impossible to your natural thinking. God has promised to do His part, but you have an important part to play as well.”
Joyce Meyer

“Anything outside yourself, this you can see and apply your logic to it. But it’s a human trait that when we encounter personal problems, these things most deeply personal are the most difficult to bring out for our logic to scan. We tend to flounder around, blaming everything but the actual, deep-seated thing that’s really chewing on us.”
Frank Herbert

“Two main definitions of a true leader; His presence is noticed and his absence is felt...!”
Israelmore Ayivor

“Christmas can be celebrated in the school room with pine trees, tinsel and reindeers, but there must be no mention of the man whose birthday is being celebrated. One wonders how a teacher would answer if a student asked why it was called Christmas.”
Ronald Reagan

“The turning point in the lives of those who succeed usually comes at the moment of some crisis, through which they are introduced to their “other selves.”
Napoleon Hill

“It would be good," thought Prince Andrei, glancing at the little image that his sister had hung around his neck with such reverence and emotion, "It would be good if everything were as clear and simple as it seems to Princess Marya . How good it would be to know where to seek help in this life, and what to expect after it, beyond the grave! How happy and at peace I should be if I could now say:" Lord have mercy on me!... But to whom should I say this? To some power--- indefinable and incomprehensible, to which I not only cannot appeal, but which I cannot express in words---The Great All or Nothing," he said to himself, "or to that God who has been sewn into this amulet by Marya? There is nothing certain, nothing except the nothingness of everything that is comprehensible to me, and the greatness of something incomprehensible but all important!”
Leo Tolstoy

“The story of the creation and similar things in it did not impress me very much, but on the contrary made me incline somewhat towards atheism.”
Mahatma Gandhi
