General Quotes

“I know in my heart that man is good, that what is right will always eventually triumph, and there is purpose and worth to each and every life.”
Ronald Reagan

“They, they, they. That was the problem with people like Joyce. They talked about the richness of their multicultural heritage and it sounded real good, until you noticed that they avoided black people. It wasn't a matter of conscious choice, necessarily, just a matter of gravitational pull, the way integration always worked, a one-way street. The minority assimilated into the dominant culture, not the other way around. Only white culture could be neutral and objective. Only white culture could be nonracial, willing to adopt the occasional exotic into its ranks. Only white culture had individuals. And we, the half-breeds and the college-degreed, take a survey of the situation and think to ourselves, Why should we get lumped in with the losers if we don't want to? We become only so grateful to lose ourselves in the crowd, America's happy, faceless marketplace; and we're never so outraged as when a cabbie drives past us or the woman in the elevator clutches her purse, not so much because we're bothered by the fact that such indignities are what less fortunate coloreds have to put up with every single day of their lives-- although that's what we tell ourselves-- but because we're wearing a Brooks Brothers suit and speak impeccable English and yet have somehow been mistaken for an ordinary nigger. Don't know who I am? I'm an individual!”
Barack Obama

“For in grief nothing 'stays put.' One keeps on emerging from a phase, but it always recurs. Round and round. Everything repeats. Am I going in circles, or dare I hope I am on a spiral?”
C.S. Lewis

“All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. ACTS 2:44–45”
Joel Osteen

“The secret of endurance is to remember that your pain is temporary but your reward will be eternal
Rick Warren

“Politics is not a bad profession. If you succeed there are many rewards, if you disgrace yourself you can always write a book.”
Ronald Reagan

“If a man aspires to a righteous life, his first act of abstinence if from injury to animals.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Nada es un mayor impedimento para estar en buenos términos con los demás que no sentirse tranquilo con uno mismo”
John C. Maxwell

“The happiest people are those who have invested their time in others. The unhappiest people are those who wonder how the world is going to make them happy.”
John C. Maxwell

“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

“Though under earth, and throneless now I be Yet while I lived all earth was under me.”
C.S. Lewis

“We cannot walk alone. And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead. We cannot turn back.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“Intellectual death is endemic in areas where people are unprepared to obtain new information for development. Learning is a way of staying alive.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“Think global; Think big! Think of planting a seed for unborn generations to taste; Think of making a shade that will provide comfort to others. If what you enjoy now appeals to you, thank God for the life of those who made it happen. However, the good news is that "you too can make it happen"!”
Israelmore Ayivor

“I'm a little pencil in the hand of a writing God, who is sending a love letter to the world.”
Mother Teresa
