General Quotes

“I am a product [...of] endless books. My father bought all the books he read and never got rid of any of them. There were books in the study, books in the drawing room, books in the cloakroom, books (two deep) in the great bookcase on the landing, books in a bedroom, books piled as high as my shoulder in the cistern attic, books of all kinds reflecting every transient stage of my parents' interest, books readable and unreadable, books suitable for a child and books most emphatically not. Nothing was forbidden me. In the seemingly endless rainy afternoons I took volume after volume from the shelves. I had always the same certainty of finding a book that was new to me as a man who walks into a field has of finding a new blade of grass.”
C.S. Lewis

“(Duty does not require any person to submit to the destruction of his personal ambitions and the right to live his own life in his own way).”
Napoleon Hill

“You cannot enjoy true love in relationship if you don't add honest flavours to it. You can genuinely maintain what you can sincerely entertain!”
Israelmore Ayivor

“If you want something you’ve never had, you’ve got to do something you’ve never done before.”
Thomas Jefferson

“Follow your passion. It will lead you to your purpose.”
Oprah Winfrey

“Leadership is influence” 
John C. Maxwell

“This act [creation], as it is for God, must always remain totally inconceivable to man. For we--even our poets and musicians and inventors--never, in the ultimate sense make. We only build. We always have materials to build from. All we can know about the act of creation must be derived from what we can gather about the relation of the creatures to their Creator”
C.S. Lewis

“If you hide the talents, you hide your brand. It’s simple.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“I was once afraid of people saying, “Who does she think she is?” Now I have the courage to stand and say, “This is who I am.”
Oprah Winfrey

“So it would be, were it not for the law of inertia, as immutable a force in men and nations as in inanimate bodies. In men it takes the form of the psychological principle, so truly expressed in the words of the Gospel, " They have loved darkness better than light, because their deeds were evil." This principle shows itself in men not trying to recognise the truth, but to persuade themselves that the life they are leading, which is what they like and are used to, is a life perfectly consistent with truth.”
Leo Tolstoy

“When the door of opportunity of your storehouse opens for you, let faith and hope enter first. When your faith leads the way, you will locate the source of your hidden treasures.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“Moses had a choice of following God or reveling in the pleasures of Egypt. As heir to the throne of Egypt, he enjoyed luxury; he didn’t desire to suffer or sacrifice any more than we do, but he chose to follow God. “He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a short time”
Billy Graham

“GIVE PEOPLE AN ACTION PLAN”
John C. Maxwell

“Real leadership is being the person others will gladly and confidently follow
John C. Maxwell

“Negativity may misguide a person to see daylight as moonlight; and then he goes to sleep instead of rising up to work. No every irresponsible act is caused by laziness; negative attitudes take a bigger share!”
Israelmore Ayivor
