General Quotes

“We but mirror the world. All the tendencies present in the outer world are to be found in the world of our body. If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. This is the divine mystery supreme. A wonderful thing it is and the source of our happiness. We need not wait to see what others do.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“The biggest adventure you can ever take is to live the life of your dreams.”
Oprah Winfrey

“Governments tend not to solve problems, only to rearrange them.”
Ronald Reagan

“One of the marks of a certain type of bad man is that he cannot give up a thing himself without wanting every one else to give it up. That is not the Christian way. An individual Christian may see fit to give up all sorts of things for special reasons--marriage, or meat, or beer, or the cinema; but the moment he starts saying the things are bad in themselves, or looking down his nose at other people who do use them, he has taken the wrong turning.”
C.S. Lewis

“How many times must I tell that lad never to settle himself with his back to a door?”
Frank Herbert

“And there in the middle, high above Prechistensky Boulevard, amidst a scattering of stars on every side but catching the eye through its closeness to the earth, its pure white light and the long uplift of its tail, shone the comet, the huge, brilliant comet of 1812, that popular harbinger of untold horrors and the end of the world. But this bright comet with its long, shiny tail held no fears for Pierre. Quite the reverse: Pierre’s eyes glittered with tears of rapture as he gazed up at this radiant star, which must have traced its parabola through infinite space at speeds unimaginable and now suddenly seemed to have picked its spot in the black sky and impaled itself like an arrow piercing the earth, and stuck there, with its strong upthrusting tail and its brilliant display of whiteness amidst the infinity of scintillating stars. This heavenly body seemed perfectly attuned to Pierre’s newly melted heart, as it gathered reassurance and blossomed into new life.”
Leo Tolstoy

“What counts in making a happy marriage is not so much how compatible you are but how you deal with incompatibility.
Leo Tolstoy

“Christ said there is a happiness in that acknowledgement of spiritual poverty which lets God come into our souls.”
Billy Graham

“There is nothing which can better deserve our patronage than the promotion of science and literature. Knowledge is in every country the surest basis of public happiness.”
George Washington

“It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first.”
Ronald Reagan

“if you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you will never get it done”
Bruce Lee

“People who have not been in Narnia sometimes think that a thing cannot be good and terrible at the same time.”
C.S. Lewis

“Love is life. All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love. Everything is, everything exists, only because I love. Everything is united by it alone.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Within every little dream seed is the potential viability of sprouting to becoming a great forest.”
