General Quotes

“I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have.”
Thomas Jefferson

“He got up, wishing to go around, but the aunt handed him the snuffbox right over Helene, behind her back. Helene moved forward so as to make room and, smiling, glanced around. As always at soirees, she was wearing a gown in the fashion of the time, quite open in front and back. Her bust, which had always looked like marble to Pierre, was now such a short distance from him that he could involuntarily make out with his nearsighted eyes the living loveliness of her shoulders and neck, and so close to his lips that he had only to lean forward a little to touch her. He sensed the warmth of her body, the smell of her perfume, and the creaking of her corset as she breathed. He saw not her marble beauty, which made one with her gown, he saw and sensed all the loveliness of her body, which was merely covered by clothes. And once he had seen it, he could not see otherwise, as we cannot return to a once-exposed deception.”
Leo Tolstoy

“God wants to use you in spite of your weaknesses. Of God chose to use perfect people only, He’d have no one to use”
Joel Osteen

“To reach your potential you must grow. And to grow, you must be highly intentional about it.”
John C. Maxwell

“Violence is not only impractical but immoral.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“Women need a reason for having sex, men just need a place”
Billy Graham

“Because of the self-confidence with which he had spoken, no one could tell whether what he said was very clever or very stupid.
Leo Tolstoy

“They’ve also sent some incidental things—jewelry for the Lady Jessica, spice liquor, candy, medicinals. My men are processing the lot right now.”
Frank Herbert

“This idea of starting at the bottom and working one’s way up may appear to be sound, but the major objection to it is this— too many of those who begin at the bottom never manage to lift their heads high enough to be seen by opportunity, so they remain at the bottom. It should be remembered, also, that the outlook from the bottom is not so very bright or encouraging. It has a tendency to kill off ambition. We call it “getting into a rut,” which means that we accept our fate because we form the habit of daily routine, a habit that finally becomes so strong we cease to try to throw it off. And that is another reason why it pays to start one or two steps above the bottom. By so doing one forms the habit of looking around, of observing how others get ahead, of seeing opportunity, and of embracing it without hesitation.” 
Napoleon Hill

“But she did not take her eyes from the wheels of the second car. And exactly at the moment when the midpoint between the wheels drew level with her, she threw away the red bag, and drawing her head back into her shoulders, fell on her hands under the car, and with a light movement, as though she would rise immediately, dropped on her knees. And at the instant she was terror-stricken at what she was doing. 'Where am I? What am I doing? What for?' She tried to get up, to throw herself back; but something huge and merciless struck her on the head and dragged her down on her back
Leo Tolstoy

“Don’t give Satan a foothold, but discipline yourself to stay close to God. He alone is your security.”
Billy Graham

“Her absence is like the sky, spread over everything.”
C.S. Lewis

“Therefore encourage (admonish, exhort) one another and edify (strengthen and build up) one another, just as you are doing. 1 Thessalonians 5:11”
Joyce Meyer

“A question that sometimes drives me hazy: am I or are the others crazy?”
Albert Einstein

“«La experiencia no es lo que te pasa a ti. Es lo que haces con lo que te pasa».”
Rick Warren
