General Quotes

“Pierre was one of those people who are strong only when they feel themselves perfectly pure.”
Leo Tolstoy

“He who permits himself to tell a lie once, finds it much easier to do it the second time.”
Thomas Jefferson

“Education is the great engine of personal development. It is through education that the daughter of a peasant can become a doctor, that the son of a mineworker can become the head of the mine, that a child of farmworkers can become the president of a great nation. It is what we make out of what we have, not what we are given, that separates one person from another.”
Nelson Mandela

“Neither past nor future generations can serve God's purpose in this generation. Only we can.”
Rick Warren

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.”
C.S. Lewis

“I now see that I spent most of my life in doing neither what I ought nor what I liked.”
C.S. Lewis

“All that is necessary for a student is access to a library.”
Thomas Jefferson

“Honesty and integrity are absolutely essential for success in life … all areas of life.”
Zig Ziglar

“At first are moving tombs on the surface of the surface of the earth; then we become static tombs in the brims of the cemetary soil; waiting to become eternal people in fellowship for God. I know there is another fellowship in heaven!”
Israelmore Ayivor

“I've heard that hard work never killed anyone, but I say why take the chance?”
Ronald Reagan

“To educate the peasantry, three things are needed: schools, schools and schools.”
Leo Tolstoy

“...My idea of God is a not divine idea. It has to be shattered from time to time. He shatters it Himself. He is the great iconoclast. Could we not almost say that this shattering is one of the marks of His presence?..”
C.S. Lewis

“I, or any mortal at any time, may be utterly mistaken as to the situation he is really in.”
C.S. Lewis

“I'm the well-trained fruit tree. Full of well-trained feelings and abilities and all of them grafted onto me”
Frank Herbert

“Was it through reason that I arrived at the necessity of loving my neighbor and not throttling him?...Not reason. Reason discovered the struggle for existence and the law which demands that everyone who hinders the satisfaction of my desires should be throttled. That is the conclusion of reason. Reason could not discover love for the other, because it’s unreasonable.”
Leo Tolstoy
