General Quotes

“When once we quit the basis of sensation, all is in the wind. To talk of immaterial existences is to talk of nothings. To say that the human soul, angels, god, are immaterial, is to say they are nothings, or that there is no god, no angels, no soul. I cannot reason otherwise: but I believe I am supported in my creed of materialism by Locke, Tracy, and Stewart.
― Thomas Jefferson

“This “missing link” in all systems of education may be found in the failure of educational institutions to teach their students how to organize and use knowledge after they acquire it.”
― Napoleon Hill

“Everyone must become their own person, however frightful that may be.”
― Albert Einstein

“Telling us to obey instinct is like telling us to obey 'people.' People say different things: so do instincts. Our instincts are at war. If it is held that the instinct for preserving the species should always be obeyed at the expense of other instincts, whence do we derive this rule of precedence? To listen to that instinct speaking in its own case and deciding in its own favour would be rather simple minded. Each instinct, if you listen to it, will claim to be gratified at the expense of all the rest. By the very act of listening to one rather than to others we have already prejudged the case. If we did not bring to the examination of our instincts a knowledge of their comparative dignity we could never learn it from them. And that knowledge cannot itself be instinctive: the judge cannot be one of the parties judged: or, if he is, the decision is worthless and there is no ground for placing preservation of the species above self-preservation or sexual appetite.”
― C.S. Lewis

“He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. PSALM 91:15”
― Joyce Meyer

“And he writhed inside at what seemed the cruelty and unfairness of the demand. He had not yet learned that if you do one good deed your reward usually is to do another and harder and better one.”
― C.S. Lewis

“La indecisión se cristaliza en la duda, ¡los dos se mezclan y se convierten en miedo!”
― Napoleon Hill

“Drinking has become one of the most serious social problems. It is basically the result of an attempt to escape from the responsibilities and realities of life.”
― Billy Graham

“What is precious is not the reward but the work. And I wish you to understand that. If you work and study in order to get a reward, the work will seem hard to you; but when you work, if you love the work, you will find your reward in that.”
― Leo Tolstoy

“As long as armies exist, any serious quarrel will lead to war.”
― Albert Einstein

“Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment. Full effort is full victory.”
― Mahatma Gandhi
