General Quotes

“It is simply my way of saying that I would rather be a man of conviction than a man of conformity. Occasionally in life one develops a conviction so precious and meaningful that he will stand on it till the end. That is what I have found in nonviolence.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“If a single man achieves the highest kind of love, it will be sufficient to neutralize the hate of millions.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“I will eliminate hatred, envy, jealousy, selfishness, and cynicism, by developing love for all humanity, because I know that a negative attitude toward others can never bring me success. I will cause others to believe in me, because I will believe in them, and in myself.
Napoleon Hill

“All the books were beginning to turn against me. Indeed, I must have been blind as a bat not to have seen it long before, the ludicrous contradiction between my theory of life and my actual experiences as a reader. George MacDonald had done more to me than any other writer; of course it was a pity that he had that bee in his bonnet about Christianity. He was good in spite of it. Chesterton has more sense than all the other moderns put together; bating, of course, his Christianity. Johnson was one of the few authors whom I felt I could trust utterly; curiously enough, he had the same kink. Spenser and Milton by a strange coincidence had it too. Even among ancient authors the same paradox was to be found. The most religious (Plato, Aeschylus, Virgil) were clearly those on whom I could really feed. On the other hand, those writers who did not suffer from religion and with whom in theory my sympathy ought to have been complete -- Shaw and Wells and Mill and Gibbon and Voltaire -- all seemed a little thin; what as boys we called "tinny". It wasn't that I didn't like them. They were all (especially Gibbon) entertaining; but hardly more. There seemed to be no depth in them. They were too simple. The roughness and density of life did not appear in their books.”
C.S. Lewis

“Self-leaders do not look for followers because they are busily pursuing their influencial dreams that followers will trace and ask for. Followers look for influence and that can be obtained from self-leaders.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“What’s worse than training your people and losing them? Not training them and keeping them.”
John C. Maxwell

“The great summary statement of all religions, philosophies, metaphysics, psychology, and success is this: You become what you think about most of the time. Your outer world ultimately becomes a reflection of your inner world. Your outer world of experience mirrors back to you what you think about most of the time. Whatever you think about continuously emerges in your reality.”
Brian Tracy

“The men who create power make an indispensable contribution to the nation's greatness, but the men who question power make a contribution just as indispensable.”
John F. Kennedy

“Two main definitions of a true leader; His presence is noticed and his absence is felt...!”
Israelmore Ayivor

“All of us - we should do everything we can to make sure this country lives up to our children's expectations.”
Barack Obama

“Yesterday is gone and tomorrow has not yet come; we must live each day as if it were our last so that when God calls us we already, and prepared, to die with a clean heart.”
Mother Teresa

“Liking an author may be as involuntary and improbable as falling in love.”
C.S. Lewis

“I know in my heart that man is good. That what is right will always eventually triumph. And there's purpose and worth to each and every life.”
Ronald Reagan

“Carve a tunnel of hope through a dark mountain of disappointment”
Martin Luther King Jr

“I’d rather you waste my money than waste my time.”
T.D. Jakes
