General Quotes

“In each of my friends there is something that only some other friend can fully bring out. By myself I am not large enough to call the whole man into activity; I want other lights than my own to show all his facets... Hence true Friendship is the least jealous of loves. Two friends delight to be joined by a third, and three by a fourth, if only the newcomer is qualified to become a real friend. They can then say, as the blessed souls say in Dante, "Here comes one who will augment our loves." For in this love "to divide is not to take away.”
C.S. Lewis

“To wake up every morning is miracle. To make a good use of every day is an appreciation of miracle. To waste the entire hours of each day is ungratefulness towards a miracle already given and received!”
Israelmore Ayivor

“A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have
Thomas Jefferson

“Jesus did not die for us so we could have a religion. He died so we could have our sins forgiven.”
Joyce Meyer

“I have indeed two great measures at heart, without which no republic can maintain itself in strength: 1. That of general education, to enable every man to judge for himself what will secure or endanger his freedom. 2. To divide every county into hundreds, of such size that all the children of each will be within reach of a central school in it”
Thomas Jefferson

“70,000 to 100,000 births; twins joined at the head occur only once in 2 to 2.5 million births. Siamese twins received their name because of the birthplace (Siam) of Chang and Eng (1811 - 1874) whom P.T. Barnum exhibited across America and Europe. Most cranio pagus Siamese twins die at birth or shortly afterward. So far as we know, not more than 50 attempts had previously been made to separate such twins. Of those, less than ten operations have resulted in two fully normal children. Aside from the skill of the operating surgeons, the success depends largely on how much and what kind of tissue the babies share. Occipital cranio pugus twins (such as the Binders) had never before been separated with both surviving.”
Ben Carson

“Later, when I became more familiar with the narrower path to happiness to be found in television and the movies, I’d become troubled by questions.”
Barack Obama

“«El destino no es cuestión de suerte, es cuestión de decisión; no es algo que se espera, es algo que se logra».”
John C. Maxwell

“When success is uniform, the celebration becomes universal. Of which use is it to you to rejoice at the time your friend cries?”
Israelmore Ayivor

“How I wish that somewhere there existed an island for those who are wise and of good will.”
Albert Einstein

“Not ordinarily do men achieve this balance of opposites. The idealists are not usually realistic, and the realists are not usually idealistic. The militant are not generally known to be passive, nor the passive to be militant. Seldom are the humble self-assertive, or the self assertive humble. ...truth is found neither in the thesis nor the antithesis, but in an emergent synthesis that reconciles the two.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“You don't have to be great to start, you have to start to be great.”
Zig Ziglar

“As people gain more authority, they often develop a lack of patience in listening to those under them. A deaf ear is the first indication of a closed mind.”
John C. Maxwell

“In your daily life, let your destined visions be farther than your gifted sight and your ultimate joy be vibrant than your demeaning worries. Think big, dream big.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“Pay bad people with your goodness; fight their hatred with your kindness. Even if you do not achieve victory over other people, you will conquer yourself. —HENRI AMIEL”
Leo Tolstoy
