General Quotes

“Levin had often noticed in arguments between even the most intelligent people that after enormous efforts, an enormous number of logical subtleties and words, the arguers would finally come to the awareness that what they had spent so long struggling to prove to each other had been known to them long, long before, from the beginning of the argument, but that they loved different things and therefore did not want to name what they loved, so as not to be challenged. He had often felt that sometimes during an argument you would understand what your opponent loves, and suddenly come to love the same thing yourself, and agree all at once, and then all reasonings would fall away as superfluous; and sometimes it was the other way round: you would finally say what you yourself love, for the sake of which you are inventing your reasonings, and if you happened to say it well and sincerely, the opponent would suddenly agree and stop arguing. That was the very thing he wanted to say.
Leo Tolstoy

“In those days a boy on the classical side officially did almost nothing but classics. I think this was wise; the greatest service we can to education today is to teach few subjects. No one has time to do more than a very few things well before he is twenty, and when we force a boy to be a mediocrity in a dozen subjects we destroy his standards, perhaps for life.”
C.S. Lewis

“People can perceive a lot in seven seconds. They can decide that they do not want to hear anything a speaker has to say,”

“Be conscious of the global elements in your dreams. When starting local, dream of taking it global sooner.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“Si usted sabe quién es, hace los cambios que debe para aprender y crecer, y luego da todo lo que tiene a sus sueños, puede lograr lo que su corazón desee.”
John C. Maxwell

“Do not allow negative thoughts to enter your mind for they are the weeds that strange confidence.” 
Bruce Lee

Albert Einstein

“An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“There comes a special moment in everyone’s life, a moment for which that person was born.… When he seizes it… it is his finest hour.”
John C. Maxwell

“Money should not direct you to what to do and what not to do; the giver of the money is responsible for playing that role.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“Habakkuk 3:19 says that the way we develop hind’s feet (a hind is an animal that can climb mountains swiftly) is “to walk [not to stand still in terror, but to walk] and make [spiritual] progress upon” the “high places [of trouble, suffering or responsibility]!” The way God helps us make spiritual progress is by being with us to strengthen and encourage us to “keep on keeping on” in rough times. It’s easy to quit; it takes faith to go through.”
Joyce Meyer

“The best way to respond to distracting personal attacks is to practice bringing the conversation back to the issue at hand. Never fall into the trap of engaging in personal attacks while letting the topic of conversation slip into the background. Doing so allows your opponent to escape the need to explain her position.”
Ben Carson

“While the art of printing is left to us science can never be retrograde; what is once acquired of real knowledge can never be lost.”
Thomas Jefferson

“If you can't be the change, you can set an example for change. If you can't set an example for change, you can go and sleep! By all means, you can do something!”
Israelmore Ayivor

Joyce Meyer
