General Quotes

Frank Herbert

“Wonderful is the effect of impudent and persevering lying.”
Thomas Jefferson

“People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love.”

“(Many people believe the lie that it is not God’s will to heal them, yet it is illogical to believe that God heals, and at the same time believe that He won’t heal you.)” 
Kenneth E. Hagin

“Breathe. Let go. And remind yourself that this very moment is the only one you know you have for sure. ”
Oprah Winfrey

“I still think that the greatest suffering is being lonely, feeling unloved, just having no one... That is the worst disease that any human being can ever experience.”
Mother Teresa

My life came to a standstill. I could breathe, eat, drink, and sleep, and I could not help doing these things; but there was no life, for there were no wishes the fulfillment of which I could consider reasonable. If I desired anything, I knew in advance that whether I satisfied my desire or not, nothing would come of it. Had a fairy come and offered to fulfil my desires I should not have know what to ask. If in moments of intoxication I felt something which, though not a wish, was a habit left by former wishes, in sober moments I knew this to be a delusion and that there was really nothing to wish for. I could not even wish to know the truth, for I guessed of what it consisted. The truth was that life is meaningless. I had as it were lived, lived, and walked, walked, till I had come to a precipice and saw clearly that there was nothing ahead of me but destruction. It was impossible to stop, impossible to go back, and impossible to close my eyes or avoid seeing that there was nothing ahead but suffering and real death--complete annihilation.”
Leo Tolstoy

“You have to know who to keep near you and those you should be far away from.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“The philosophy of the schoolroom in one generation is the philosophy of government in the next.”
Abraham Lincoln

“If you spend too much time thinking about a thing you will never get it done”
Bruce Lee

“Everyone has the power for greatness, not for fame but greatness, because greatness is determined by service.”

Bruce Lee

“Don't compare yourself with anyone in this world...if you do so, you are insulting yourself.”
Bill Gates

“Losing a sense of time is an easy way to lose one’s grip and even one’s sanity.”
Nelson Mandela

“Recently I had breakfast with Dan Cathy, the president of Chick-fil-A, a fast food chain headquartered in the Atlanta area. I told him that I was working on this book and I asked him if he made thinking time a high priority. Not only did he say yes, but he told me about what he calls his “thinking schedule.” It helps him to fight the hectic pace of life that discourages intentional thinking. Dan says he sets aside time just to think for half a day every two weeks, for one whole day every month, and for two or three full days every year. Dan explains, “This helps me ‘keep the main thing, the main thing,’ since I am so easily distracted.” You may want to do something similar, or you can develop a schedule and method of your own. No matter what you choose to do, go to your thinking place, take paper and pen, and make sure you capture your ideas in writing.”
John C. Maxwell
