General Quotes

“I was afraid to let other make any decisions, because I had no confidence they would be concerned for me.”
Joyce Meyer

“Knowledge of what is does not open the door directly to what should be.”
Albert Einstein

“This topic brings me to that worst outcrop of herd life, the military system, which I abhor. That a man can take pleasure in marching in fours to the strains of a band is enough to make me despise him. He has only been given his big brain by mistake; unprotected spinal marrow was all he needed. This plague-spot of civilization ought to be abolished with all possible speed. Heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism—how passionately I hate them! How vile and despicable seems war to me! I would rather be hacked in pieces than take part in such an abominable business. My opinion of the human race is high enough that I believe this bogey would have disappeared long ago, had the sound sense of the peoples not been systematically corrupted by commercial and political interests acting through the schools and the Press.”
Albert Einstein

“Reason and free inquiry are the only effectual agents against error.”
Thomas Jefferson

“The home is the ultimate career. All other careers exist for one purpose, and that is to support the ultimate career.”
C.S. Lewis

“People don’t remember what we think is important; they remember what they think is important.”
John C. Maxwell

“It is my firm conviction that man need take no milk at all, beyond the mother’s milk that he takes as a baby. His diet should consist of nothing but sunbaked fruits and nuts.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“If you plant your crops in the weather of pride they will grow tall and fall down. Take away pride and your dreams will stand.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“God will never lead contrary to His word—so get acquainted with the Word of God, the Bible. Pray. He leads through the illumination of the Holy Spirit in our hearts. Use whatever you have and be faithful. We are called to serve Christ in our sphere of influence.”
Billy Graham

“No interviews without appointments except between nine and ten PM on the second Saturdays.”
C.S. Lewis

Leo Tolstoy

“I hope when you are my age, you’ll be able to say - as I have been able to say: We lived in freedom. Our lives were a statement, not an apology.” 
Ronald Reagan

“...but most of all he liked to listen to stories of real life. He smiled gleefully as he listened to such stories, putting in words and asking questions, all aiming at bringing out clearly the moral beauty of the action of which he was told. Attachments, friendships, love, as Pierre understood them, Karataev had none, but he loved and lived on affectionate terms with every creature with whom he was thrown in life, and especially so with man- not with any particular man, but with the men that happened to be before his eyes. But his life, as he looked at it, had no meaning as a separate life. It only had meaning as part of a whole, of which he was at all times conscious.”
Leo Tolstoy

“People are training for success when they should be training for failure. Failure is far more common than success; poverty is more prevalent than wealth; and disappointment more normal than arrival. —J.WALLACE HAMILTON”
John C. Maxwell

“I fear not the man that can throw a thousand different kicks once, but the man who can throw one kick a thousand times.”
Bruce Lee
