General Quotes

“The unexamined life is not worth leading.” I would add that the unexamined leader is not worth following.”
John C. Maxwell

“An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does the truth become error because nobody will see it.
Mahatma Gandhi

“Success begins with a fellow’s will— It’s all in the state of mind.”
Napoleon Hill

“The real trouble is that 'kindness' is a quality fatally easy to attribute to ourselves on quite inadequate grounds. Everyone feels benevolent if nothing happens to be annoying him at the moment. Thus a man easily comes to console himself for all his other vices by a conviction that 'his heart's in the right place' and 'he wouldn't hurt a fly,' though in fact he has never made the slightest sacrifice for a fellow creature. We think we are kind when we are only happy: it is not so easy, on the same grounds, to imagine oneself temperate, chaste, or humble.”
C.S. Lewis

“Look at yourself before you pass judgment. Don’t make someone else clean up your mess.”
Barack Obama

“Our instincts may have even guided us to hide parts of ourselves in order to keep them alive when we were younger.”
T.D. Jakes

“Yes, it is very likely that I shall be killed tomorrow,’ he thought. And suddenly at this thought of death a whole series of most distant, most intimate, memories rose in his imagination: he remembered his last parting from his father and his wife; he remembered the days when he first loved her. He thought of her pregnancy and felt sorry for her and for himself, and in a nervously emotional and softened mood he went out of the hut in which he was billeted with Nesvitsky and began to walk up and down before it.”
Leo Tolstoy

“If we see anyone who renounces his rights in regard to worldly matters and forgives even strangers, not to speak of relations, we should think of him as a good man. If we desist from beating up a thief or any other felon, do nothing to get him punished but, after admonishing him and recovering from him the stolen article, let him go, we would be credited with humanity and our action would be regarded as an instance of non-violence; a contrary course would be looked upon as violence.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“Here the whole world (stars, water, air, And field, and forest, as they were Reflected in a single mind) Like cast off clothes was left behind In ashes, yet with hopes that she, Re-born from holy poverty, In lenten lands, hereafter may Resume them on her Easter Day."
C.S. Lewis

“People who bore one another should meet seldom; people who interest one another, often.”
C.S. Lewis

“you can't escape tomorrow's responsibilities by evading it today”
Abraham Lincoln

“Cynicism is a choice, and hope is a better choice.”
Barack Obama

“Be happy in the moment, that's enough. Each moment is all we need, not more.”
Mother Teresa

“Your dreams today are answers to what you are to do, where you are to go and what you have to say in later days of your life.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“It has actually become very necessary in our time to rebut the theory that every firm and serious friendship is really homosexual.”
C.S. Lewis
