General Quotes

“You will achieve more in this world through acts of mercy than you will through acts of retribution.”
Nelson Mandela

“A thought can advance your life in the right direction only when it answers questions which were asked by your soul. A thought which was first borrowed from someone else and then accepted by your mind and memory does not really much influence your life, and sometimes leads you in the wrong direction. Read less, study less, but think more. Learn, both from your teachers and from the books which you read, only those things which you really need and which you really want to know.”
Leo Tolstoy

“There is something in the human spirit that will survive and prevail, there is a tiny and brilliant light burning in the heart of man that will not go out no matter how dark the world becomes.”
Leo Tolstoy

“People, especially the young, wanted to hear about God and not man.”
Billy Graham

“Your happiness is meaningless unless it is linked with the total liberation of people around you! You matter; others also matter! Live life so well!”
Israelmore Ayivor

“I wanted to know the best of the life of one who holds today an undisputed sway over the hearts of millions of mankind… I became more than ever convinced that it was not the sword that won a place for Islam in those days in the scheme of life. It was the rigid simplicity, the utter self-effacement of the Prophet the scrupulous regard for pledges, his intense devotion to his friends and followers, his intrepidity, his fearlessness, his absolute trust in God and in his own mission. These and not the sword carried everything before them and surmounted every obstacle. When I closed the second volume (of the Prophet’s biography), I was sorry there was not more for me to read of that great life.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“Novelist Victor Hugo believed, "He who every morning plans the transactions of the day and follows out that plan carries a thread that will guide him through the labyrinth of the most busy life . . . But where no plan is laid, where the disposal of time is surrendered merely to the chance of incident, chaos will soon reign.”
John C. Maxwell

“Most of us know about God, but that is quite different from knowing God.”
Billy Graham

“Integrity is doing the right thing, even if nobody is watching.”
Jim Stovall

“Be careful how you talk about any habit you are trying to break. Don’t go out with friends and talk about how you are trying to break such-and-such bad habit and it is so hard. The more you say it is hard, the harder it will be. Actually, you would be better off not to talk about it much at all. Keep your goal between you and God, and possibly one or two other trusted friends or family members whom you want to pray for you and encourage you. When you are weary of doing battle with your wrong desires, think of how wonderful it will be when the bad habit is a thing of the past and a new habit has taken its place. Focusing on developing the good habit you want to establish will automatically help you enjoy freedom from the bad habit.”
Joyce Meyer

“My brother comes now," Alia said. "Even an Emperor may tremble before Muad'Dib, for he has the strength of righteousness and heaven smiles upon him.”
Frank Herbert

“She didn’t like the fact that people of both sietch and graben referred to Muad’Dib as Him.”
Frank Herbert

“In the final analysis it is between you and God, it was never between you and them anyway.” 
Mother Teresa

“We must act, knowing that our work will be imperfect.”
Barack Obama

“I think that only daring speculation can lead us further and not accumulation of facts.”
Albert Einstein
