General Quotes

“I sincerely believe the banking institutions having the issuing power of money, are more dangerous to liberty than standing armies.”
― Thomas Jefferson

“Lightly men talk of saying what they mean. Often when he was teaching me to write in Greek the Fox would say, “Child, to say the very thing you really mean, the whole of it, nothing more or less or other than what you really mean; that’s the whole art and joy of words.” A glib saying. When the time comes to you at which you will be forced at last to utter the speech which has lain at the centre of your soul for years, which you have, all that time, idiot-like, been saying over and over, you’ll not talk about joy of words.”
― C.S. Lewis

“Don’t use your energy to worry. Use your energy to believe.”
― Joel Osteen

“If a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, of what, then, is an empty desk a sign?”

“I regret exceedingly that the disputes between the protestants and Roman Catholics should be carried to the serious alarming height mentioned in your letters. Religious controversies are always productive of more acrimony and irreconcilable hatreds than those which spring from any other cause; and I was not without hopes that the enlightened and liberal policy of the present age would have put an effectual stop to contentions of this kind.
― George Washington

“The student is half afraid to meet one of the great philosophers face to face. He feels himself inadequate and thinks he will not understand him.

The simplest student will be able to understand, if not all, yet a very great deal of what Plato said; but hardly anyone can understand some modern books on Platonism.”
― C.S. Lewis

“We exchanged disagreeable remarks. The impression of this first quarrel was terrible. I say quarrel, but the term is inexact. It was the sudden discovery of the abyss that had been dug between us.”
― Leo Tolstoy

“The key to friendship with God, he said, is not changing what you do, but changing your attitude toward what you do.”
― Rick Warren

“We should never forget that everything Adolph Hitler did in Germany was "legal" and everything the Hungarian freedom fighers did in Hungary was "illegal." It was "illegal" to aid and comfort a Jew in Hitler's Germany.”
― Martin Luther King Jr

“Humility is not putting yourself down or denying your strengths; rather, it is being honest about your weaknesses. The more honest you are, the more of God’s grace you get.”
― Rick Warren

“In reading great literature I become a thousand men and yet remain myself...I see with a myriad of eyes,but it is still I who see.”
― C.S. Lewis

“Enthusiasm is a state of mind that inspires and arouses one to put ACTION into the task at hand. It is the most contagious of all emotions and transmits the impetus toward agreement and action to all within reach of your words.”
― Napoleon Hill

“Don’t let the horrible nature of the waters prevent you from crossing the rivers of life. The more horrible the challenges we face, the sweeter the joy of conquering them.”

― Brian Tracy

“The great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving.”
