General Quotes

“Опыт показывает, что к хорошо образованным людям часто относятся как раз те, кто вынужден был заниматься самообразованием и самовоспитанием. Никакое учебное заведение не сделает из Вас образованного человека. Образованным можно считать только того, кто получает от жизни все, что он хотел бы получить без насилия над другими людьми, на равных правах с ними. Образование подразумевает не столько знания, сколько умение их к чему-нибудь приложить. Ценятся не знания сами по себе, а то, как они могут быть употреблены.
Napoleon Hill

“As long as there are sovereign nations possessing great power, war is inevitable.”
Albert Einstein

“As it stands today we have too many lawyers in government — many of whom are very smart and decent people — but they are not immune from acting like lawyers. Consequently, we have far too much regulatory legislation. Also, what do many lawyers learn in law school? They learn to win by hook or by crook; it doesn’t matter how you fight as long as you win. Imagine a roomful of Democratic and Republican lawyers, each with one overriding goal to win, and this certainly helps one understand the distasteful partisan politics that characterizes Congress today.”
Ben Carson

“A devotee of Truth may not do anything in deference to convention. He must always hold himself open to correction, and whenever he discovers himself to be wrong he must confess it at all costs and atone for it.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“Pretentiousness repels but authenticity attracts, and vulnerability is the pathway to intimacy.”
Rick Warren

“On no account should you entertain being a victim of your own circumstances. When unexpected failure occurs, you can turn it into success.”

“Our country is too large to have all its affairs directed by a single government. Public servants at such a distance, and from under the eye of their constituents, must, from the circumstance of distance, be unable to administer and overlook all the details necessary for the good government of the citizens; and the same circumstance, by rendering detection impossible to their constituents, will invite public agents to corruption, plunder and waste.”
Thomas Jefferson

“What is the cause of historical events? Power. What is power? Power is the sum total of wills transferred to one person. On what condition are the willso fo the masses transferred to one person? On condition that the person express the will of the whole people. That is, power is power. That is, power is a word the meaning of which we do not understand. ”
Leo Tolstoy

“The only way to smile at harvest time is to appreciate the invisible fruits in the visible seed. Hungry people are not those who have no seed. They are those who kill seeds!”
Israelmore Ayivor

“in the state capital. But the years had also taken their toll. Some of it was just a function of my getting older, I suppose, for if you are paying attention,”
Barack Obama

“Everything I know...I know because I love"
Leo Tolstoy

“Our minds may be like some computers that can have a lifetime of wrong information stored in them.”
Joyce Meyer

“Remember, too, that all who succeed in life get off to a bad start, and pass through many heartbreaking struggles before they “arrive.” The turning point in the lives of those who succeed, usually comes at the moment of some crisis, through which they are introduced to their “other selves.”
Napoleon Hill

“I read with interest Max Muller’s book, India—What Can It Teach Us? and the translation of the Upanishads published by the Theosophical Society. All this enhanced my regard for Hinduism, and its beauties began to grow upon me. It did not, however, prejudice me against other religions.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“Drops Dripped. Quiet talk went on. Horses neighed and scuffled. Someone snored.”
Leo Tolstoy
