General Quotes

“A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the highest virtues of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means.”
― Thomas Jefferson

“He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it.”
― Martin Luther King Jr

“Experience has taught me that silence is part of the spiritual discipline of a votary of truth.”
― Mahatma Gandhi

“The future is not a gift-it is an achievement.”
― Albert Einstein

“If anyone says that sex, in itself, is bad, Christianity contradicts him at once. But, of course, when people say, 'Sex is nothing to be ashamed of,' they may mean 'the state into which the sexual instinct has now got is nothing to be ashamed of'. If they mean that, I think they are wrong. I think it is everything to be ashamed of. There is nothing to be ashamed of in enjoying your food: there would be everything to be ashamed of if half the world made food the main interest of their lives and spent their time looking at pictures of food and dribbling and smacking their lips.”
― C.S. Lewis

“It is important to foster individuality, for only the individual can produce the new ideas.”
― Albert Einstein

“Somos los amos o las víctimas de nuestras actitudes. Es un asunto de decisión personal. Lo que ahora somos es el resultado de las decisiones tomadas ayer. Mañana seremos lo que decidamos ahora.”
― John C. Maxwell

“The deeper the difficulty in fulfilling a dream, the brighter the outcome of its fulfillment and the sweeter the celebration thereof. Persist to the end; don't give up!”
― Israelmore Ayivor

“If we cut up beasts simply because they cannot prevent us and because we are backing our own side in the struggle for existence, it is only logical to cut up imbeciles, criminals, enemies, or capitalists for the same reasons.”
― C.S. Lewis

“You have to make the right choice in order to have the right to change the world... Take hold of this chance right away!”
― Israelmore Ayivor

“The rivalry of the European states in constantly increasing their forces has reduced them to the necessity of having recourse to universal military service, since by that means the greatest possible number of soldiers is obtained at the least possible expense. Germany first hit on this device. And directly one state adopted it the others were obliged to do the same. And by this means all citizens are under arms to support the iniquities practiced upon them; allcitizens have become their own oppressors.”
― Leo Tolstoy

“Faith actually means surrender and commitment to the claims of Christ. It means an acknowledgment of sin and a turning to Christ.”
― Billy Graham

“If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.”
― Albert Einstein

“The value in my room is neither my Television nor my bank note. The value in my room is myself! Why? Because even if I lose everything I have, but still get me, I am coming back with full passion and desperation to climb the unclimbed hills again and again!”
― Israelmore Ayivor
