General Quotes

“Measured against eternity, our time on earth is just a blink of an eye, but the consequences of it will last forever.”
Rick Warren

“Si supiera que el mundo se acaba mañana, yo, hoy todavía, plantaría un árbol.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“God has not called me to be successful; He has called me to be faithful.”
Mother Teresa

“The most eloquent prayer is often prayed through hands that heal and bless.”
Billy Graham

“We are to work to improve ourselves while at the same time remaining totally dependent on God.”
T.D. Jakes

“The hardness of God is kinder than the softness of men, and His compulsion is our liberation.”
C.S. Lewis

“If no set of moral ideas were truer or better than any other, there would be no sense in preferring civilised morality to savage morality.”
C.S. Lewis

“And in the end it is not the years in your life that count, it's the life in your years.”
Abraham Lincoln

“Well, sir, if things are real, they’re there all the time." "Are they?" said the Professor; and Peter did not quite know what to say.”
C.S. Lewis

“Government is an association of men who do violence to the rest of us.”
Leo Tolstoy

“No sooner do we believe that God loves us than there is an impulse to believe that He does so, not because He is Love, but because we are intrinsically lovable. The Pagans obeyed this impulse unabashed; a good man was "dear to the gods" because he was good. We, being better taught, resort to subterfuge. Far be it from us to think that we have virtues for which God could love us. But then, how magnificently we have repented! As Bunyan says, describing his first and illusory conversion, "I thought there was no man in England that pleased God better than I." Beaten out of this, we next offer our own humility to God's admiration. Surely He'll like that? Or if not that, our clear-sighted and humble recognition that we still lack humility. Thus, depth beneath depth and subtlety within subtelty, there remains some lingering idea of our own, our very own attractiveness. It is easy to acknowledge, but almost impossible to realize for long, that we are mirrors whose brightness, if we are bright, is wholly derived from the sun that shines upon us. Surely we must have a little--however little--native luminosity? Surely we can't be quite creatures?
C.S. Lewis

“I'm a greater believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it”
Thomas Jefferson

“Arbitrary power is most easily established on the ruins of liberty abused to licentiousness.”
George Washington

“This is a capitalistic country, it was developed through the use of capital, and we who claim the right to partake of the blessings of freedom and opportunity, we who seek to accumulate riches here, may as well know that neither riches nor opportunity would be available to us if organized capital had not provided these benefits. For more than twenty years it has been a somewhat popular and growing pastime for radicals, self-seeking politicians, racketeers, crooked labor leaders, and on occasion religious leaders, to take pot-shots at “Wall Street, the money changers, and big business.” The practice became so general that we witnessed during the business depression, the unbelievable sight of high government officials lining up with the cheap politicians, and labor leaders, with the openly avowed purpose of throttling the system which has made Industrial America the richest country on earth. The line-up was so general and so well organized that it prolonged the worst depression America has ever known. It cost millions of men their jobs, because those jobs were inseparably a part of the industrial and capitalistic system which form the very backbone of the nation.
Napoleon Hill

“Trying to get the right person in the right job can take a lot of time and energy. Let’s face it. Isn’t it easier for a leader to just put people where it is most convenient and get on with the work? Once again, this is an area where leaders’ desire for action works against them.”
John C. Maxwell
