General Quotes

“The glow of one warm thought is to me worth more than money.”
Thomas Jefferson

“Liberty without Learning is always in peril and Learning without Liberty is always in vain.”
John F. Kennedy

“Who am I? I am that which thou hast searched for since thy baby eyes gazed wonderingly upon the world, whose horizon hides this real life from thee. I am that which in thy heart thou hast prayed for, demanded as thy birthright, although thou hast not known what it was. I am that which has lain in thy soul for hundreds and thousands of years. Sometimes I lay in thee grieving because thou didst not recognize me; sometimes I raised my head, opened my eyes, and extended my arms calling thee either tenderly and quietly, or strenuously, demanding that thou shouldst rebel against the iron chains which bound thee to the earth.”
Leo Tolstoy

“All this is flashy rhetoric about loving you. I never had a selfless thought since I was born. I am mercenary and self-seeking through and through: I want God, you, all friends, merely to serve my turn. Peace, re-assurance, pleasure, are the goals I seek, I cannot crawl one inch outside my proper skin: I talk of love --a scholar's parrot may talk Greek-- But, self-imprisoned, always end where I begin. Only that now you have taught me (but how late) my lack. I see the chasm. And everything you are was making My heart into a bridge by which I might get back From exile, and grow man. And now the bridge is breaking. For this I bless you as the ruin falls. The pains You give me are more precious than all other gains.”
C.S. Lewis

“You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.”
C.S. Lewis

“You are the most influential person you will talk to all day.”
Zig Ziglar

“One might say that our words are a movie screen that reveals what we have been thinking and the attitudes that we have.”
Joyce Meyer

“When people show you who they are ... believe them!”
Oprah Winfrey

“Never let anything so fill you with sorrow as to make you forget the joy of Christ risen.”
Mother Teresa

“The instrument through which you see God is your whole self. And if a man's self is not kept clean and bright, his glimpse of God will be blurred”
C.S. Lewis

“According to the biblical tradition the absence of work -- idleness -- was a condition of the first man's state of blessedness before the Fall. The love of idleness has been preserved in fallen man, but now a heavy curse lies upon him, not only because we have to earn our bread by the sweat of our brow, but also because our sense of morality will not allow us to be both idle and at ease. Whenever we are idle a secret voice keeps telling us to feel guilty. If man could discover a state in which he could be idle and still feel useful and on the path of duty, he would have regained one aspect of that primitive state of blessedness. And there is one such state of enforced and irreproachable idleness enjoyed by an entire class of men -- the military class. It is this state of enforced and irreproachable idleness that forms the chief attraction of military service, and it always will.
Leo Tolstoy

“Your time is your life. That is why the greatest gift you can give someone is your time.”
Rick Warren

“You've got to be around people who encourage you, advice you and want to see you go even higher and higher than they themselves have attained!”
Israelmore Ayivor

“For by a single offering He has forever completely cleansed and perfected those who are consecrated and made holy.… He then goes on to say, And their sins and their lawbreaking I will remember no more. HEBREWS 10:14, 17”
Joyce Meyer

“Don’t argue with [a professor], but test everything he says in the light of God’s Word.”
Billy Graham
