General Quotes

“We often bring problems on ourselves by our own faulty decisions, poor choices, bad judgments, and sins.”
Rick Warren

“Put your trust in God and take responsibility for your attitudes and actions, and stop blaming others. If you are not happy, I suggest you look inward before you look around you to find something or someone to blame.”
Joyce Meyer

“There are two aspects," Alexey Alexandrovitch resumed: "those who take part and those who look on; and love for such spectacles is an unmistakable proof of a low degree of development in the spectator, I admit, but . . .”
Leo Tolstoy

“If once the people become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, Judges and Governors, shall all become wolves. It seems to be the law of our general nature, in spite of individual exceptions.” 
Thomas Jefferson

“aren’t lazy or unwilling to work: they just don’t know how to free themselves from the welfare security blanket.”
Ronald Reagan

“Got to start by finding it, have we? Can't start by looking for it, I suppose?”
C.S. Lewis

“I hold that the more helpless a creature, the more entitled it is to protection by man from the cruelty of man.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“In every job I’ve taken and every city in which I’ve lived, I have known that it’s time to move on when I’ve grown as much as I can. Sometimes moving on terrified me. But always it taught me that the true meaning of courage is to be afraid, and then, with your knees knocking, to step out anyway. Making a bold move is the only way to advance toward the grandest vision the universe has for you. If you allow it, fear will completely immobilize you. And once it has you in its grip, it will fight to keep you from ever becoming your best self.”
Oprah Winfrey

“You are now old enough to know how very important to your future life will be the manner in which you employ your present time”
Thomas Jefferson

“They say that that's a difficult task, that nothing's amusing that isn't spiteful," he began with a smile. "But I'll try. Get me a subject. It all lies in the subject. If a subject's given me, it's easy to spin something round it. I often think that the celebrated talkers of the last century would have found it difficult to talk cleverly now. Everything clever is so stale... ”
Leo Tolstoy

“The complaint was the answer. To have heard myself making it was to be answered. 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 center of your soul for years which you have, all that time, idiot-like, been saying over and over, you'll not talk about the joy of words. I saw well why the gods do not speak to us openly, nor let us answer. Till that word can be dug out of us, why should they hear the babble that we think we mean? How can they meet us face to face till we have faces?”
C.S. Lewis

“and a charge of lying against someone whom you have always found truthful is a very serious thing; a very serious thing indeed.”
C.S. Lewis

“poverty in a family of twelve children.”
Jim Stovall

“It will not do to investigate the subject of religion too closely, as it is apt to lead to infidelity.”
Abraham Lincoln

“Quos vilt perdere dementat' Whome the gods wish to destroy, they first drive made (Latin).”
Leo Tolstoy
