General Quotes

“Truth is by nature self-evident. As soon as you remove the cobwebs of ignorance that surround it, it shines clear.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“We are conscious of the force of man's life, and we call it freedom”
Leo Tolstoy

“Your real, new self (which is Christ's and also yours, and yours just because it is His) will not come as long as you are looking for it. It will come when you are looking for Him. Does that sound strange? The same principle holds, you know, for more everyday matters. Even in social life, you will never make a good impression on other people until you stop thinking about what sort of impression you are making. Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it. The principle runs through all life from top to bottom, Give up yourself, and you will find your real self. Lose your life and you will save it. Submit to death, death of your ambitions and favourite wishes every day and death of your whole body in the end submit with every fibre of your being, and you will find eternal life. Keep back nothing. Nothing that you have not given away will be really yours. Nothing in you that has not died will ever be raised from the dead. Look for yourself, and you will find in the long run only hatred, loneliness, despair, rage, ruin, and decay. But look for Christ and you will find Him, and with Him everything else thrown in.”
C.S. Lewis

“Our supremacy on Caladan,” the Duke said, “depended on sea and air power. Here, we must develop something I choose to call desert power.
Frank Herbert

“There are people in the world so hungry, that God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“Have you ever gone to the furniture store to buy a chair without sitting in it? Have you ever purchased a car without test-driving it? Of course not, and God also tests us to reveal the quality of our faith. No matter what we think of ourselves, we find out what we are truly like in times of difficulty. Good times don’t bring the worst out of us, but hard times do. That is why God says these difficult times are good for us. They allow us to see what is in our character that needs to be changed. They also give us opportunity to use our faith, and faith only grows through our using it. As we choose to learn to trust God instead of getting upset about something, we experience His faithfulness, which, in turn, increases our faith for the next time we need it. The more we use our muscles, the more they grow—and our faith is the same way.”
Joyce Meyer

“Often, we try to tell God what we want Him to do—but ask Him to help you guard against this, and to seek His will instead of your own. Pray and ask God to guide you.”
Billy Graham

“The tragedy of life is what dies inside a man while he lives.”
Albert Einstein

“You may have occasion to possess or use material things, but the secret of life lies in never missing them.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“Make up your mind to live differently; praise your way to victory; give God the construction project; and understand that your history is not your destiny.”
Joyce Meyer

“Great opportunities may come once in a lifetime, but small opportunities surround us every day.”
Rick Warren

“If your perception of and response to failure were changed, what would you attempt to achieve?”
John C. Maxwell

“The easiest way to discover the purpose of an invention is to ask the creator to explain it.”
Rick Warren

“People appear like angels until you hear them speak. You must not rush to judge people by the colour of their cloaks, but by the content of their words!”
Israelmore Ayivor

“We judge ourselves by what we feel capable of doing, while others judge us by what we have already done.”
John C. Maxwell
