General Quotes

“If your thoughts are as tall as the height of your ceiling, you can’t fly above your room.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“There is no need to be worried by facetious people who try to make the Christian hope of ‘Heaven’ ridiculous by saying they do not want ‘to spend eternity playing harps’. The answer to such people is that if they cannot understand books written for grown-ups, they should not talk about them. All the scriptural imagery (harps, crowns, gold, etc.) is, of course, a merely symbolical attempt to express the inexpressible. Musical instruments are mentioned because for many people (not all) music is the thing known in the present life which most strongly suggests ecstasy and infinity. Crowns are mentioned to suggest the fact that those who are united with God in eternity share His splendour and power and joy. Gold is mentioned to suggest the timelessness of Heaven (gold does not rust) and the preciousness of it. People who take these symbols literally might as well think that when Christ told us to be like doves, He meant that we were to lay eggs.”
C.S. Lewis

“Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“Poverty needs no plan. It needs no one to aid it, because it is bold and ruthless. Riches are shy and timid. They have to be “attracted.”
Napoleon Hill

“Good travels at a snail's pace. Those who want to do good are not selfish, they are not in a hurry, they know that to impregnate people with good requires a long time.”
Mahatma Gandhi

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

“You lose the respect of the best when you don’t deal properly with the worst.”
John C. Maxwell

“Millions of men, renouncing their human feelings and reason, had to go from west to east to slay their fellows, just as some centuries previously hordes of men had come from the east to the west slaying their fellows.”
Leo Tolstoy

“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“May our prayers today—and every day—be from our hearts and with the focus of our whole being!”
Billy Graham

“He felt that in the depth of his soul something had been put in its place, settled down, and laid to rest.”
Leo Tolstoy

“I speak to everyone in the same way, whether he is the garbage man or the president of the university.”
Albert Einstein

“If we make a decision and then continue to go back and forth in our mind about whether we did the right thing or not, we are unstable in our ways.” 
Joyce Meyer

“Procrastination and excuses are sour spices that spoil the sweet taste of an effective work. They must hence, not be prompted under desire, partly because they are strictly time-stripping and also because they have no known essence.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“It was not easy to commit suicide as to contemplate it.”
Mahatma Gandhi
