“The opinions of men are not the object of civil government, nor under its jurisdiction.” 
Thomas Jefferson

“LIFE IN ALEXANDRA was exhilarating and precarious. Its atmosphere was alive, its spirit adventurous, its people resourceful. Although the township did boast some handsome buildings, it could fairly be described as a slum, living testimony to the neglect of the authorities. The roads were unpaved and dirty, and filled with hungry, undernourished children scampering around half-naked. The air was thick with the smoke from coal fires in tin braziers and stoves. A single water tap served several houses. Pools of stinking, stagnant water full of maggots collected by the side of the road. Alexandra was known as “Dark City” for its complete absence of electricity. Walking home at night was perilous, for there were no lights, the silence pierced by yells, laughter, and occasional gunfire. So different from the darkness of the Transkei, which seemed to envelop one in a welcome embrace.” 
Nelson Mandela

“It's not me who can't keep a secret. It's the people I tell that can't.”
Abraham Lincoln

“To free one’s self from preconceived notions, prejudices, and conditioned responses is essential to understanding truth and reality.”

“Whenever all men are...hastening to be slaves or tyrants we make Liberalism the prime bogey.”
C.S. Lewis

“it’s hard to be spiritually strong and mentally alert when you are emotionally stressed or physically fatigued.”

“And in every one of us, there's a war going on. It's a civil war. I don't care who you are, I don't care where you live, there is a civil war going on in your life. And every time you set out to be good, there's something pulling on you, telling you to be evil. It's going on in your life. Every time you set out to love, something keeps pulling on you, trying to get you to hate. Every time you set out to be kind and say nice things about people, something is pulling on you to be jealous and envious and to spread evil gossip about them. There's a civil war going on. There is a schizophrenia, as the psychologists or the psychiatrists would call it, going on within all of us. And there are times that all of us know somehow that there is a Mr. Hyde and a Dr. Jekyll in us...There's a tension at the heart of human nature. And whenever we set out to dream our dreams and to build our temples, we must be honest enough to recognize it.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“Surrendered people obey God’s word, even if it doesn’t make sense.”
Rick Warren

“The state of convenience lies in the hands of proper planning. When you know this, you will become a good planner; and when you become a good planner, you save your life from stress!”
Israelmore Ayivor

“A world is supported by four things….” She held up four big-knuckled fingers. “…the learning of the wise, the justice of the great, the prayers of the righteous and the valor of the brave. But all of these are as nothing….” She closed her fingers into a fist. “…without a ruler who knows the art of ruling. Make that”
Frank Herbert

“Complains are like the clouds that give no rain no matter how thick they gather.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“God will give us the grace to deal with tomorrow, but He won't give it to us until tomorrow gets here.”
Joyce Meyer

“Too often we talk ourselves out of God’s best. We allow doubts, fears, and discouraging things people have said to limit us and convince us to settle where we are. Negative voices always speak the loudest.”
Joel Osteen

“is unwise to refuse to face reality; however if our reality is negative we can still have a positive attitude toward it.”
Joyce Meyer
