General Quotes

“I hear and forget. I see and hear and I remember. However, when I see, hear and do, I understand and succeed.”
Zig Ziglar

“Therefore, all these causes-billions of causes-coincided so as to bring about what happened. And consequently none of them was the exclusive cause of the event, but the event had to take place simply because it had to take place.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Stop determining your worth and value by what other people say. Be determined by what the Word of God (scriptures)says.”
Joyce Meyer

“Leave no authority existing not responsible to the people.”
Thomas Jefferson

“We who engage in nonviolent direct action are not the creators of tension. We merely bring to the surface hidden tension that is already alive”
Martin Luther King Jr

“Those who have committed no faults want no pardon. We are only defending what we deem our indisputable rights.”
George Washington

“You are fully responsible for everything you are, everything you have and everything you become.”
Brian Tracy

“What do they teach them at these schools?”
C.S. Lewis

“Talk to me about the truth of religion and I'll listen gladly. Talk to me about the duty of religion and I'll listen submissively. But don't come talking to me about the consolations of religion or I shall suspect that you don't understand. Unless, of course, you can literally believe all that stuff about family reunions 'on the further shore,' pictured in entirely earthly terms. But that is all unscriptural, all out of bad hymns and lithographs. There's not a word of it in the Bible. And it rings false. We know it couldn't be like that. Reality never repeats. The exact same thing is never taken away and given back. How well the Spiritualists bait their hook! 'Things on this side are not so different after all.' There are cigars in Heaven. For that is what we should all like. The happy past restored.”
C.S. Lewis

“Even the strongest current of water cannot add a drop to a cup which is already full. The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him.”
Leo Tolstoy

“When I think about how I understand my role as citizen, setting aside being president, and the most important set of understandings that I bring to that position of citizen, the most important stuff I’ve learned I think I’ve learned from novels. It has to do with empathy. It has to do with being comfortable with the notion that the world is complicated and full of grays, but there’s still truth there to be found, and that you have to strive for that and work for that. And the notion that it’s possible to connect with some[one] else even though they’re very different from you.”
Barack Obama

“There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must take it because his conscience tells him it is right....” 
Martin Luther King Jr

“The feelings resembled memories; but memories of what? Apparently one can remember things that have never happened.”
Leo Tolstoy

“I'll die on my feet before I'll live on my knees!”
George Washington

“When you begin to realize that your past does not necessarily dictate the outcome of your future, then you can release the hurt.”
T.D. Jakes
