General Quotes

“Anna Arkadyevna read and understood, but it was distasteful to her to read, that is, to follow the reflection of other people’s lives. She had too great a desire to live herself. If she read that the heroine of the novel was nursing a sick man, she longed to move with noiseless steps about the room of a sick man; if she read of a member of Parliament making a speech, she longed to be delivering the speech; if she read of how Lady Mary had ridden after the hounds, and had provoked her sister-in-law, and had surprised everyone by her boldness, she too wished to be doing the same. But there was no chance of doing anything; and twisting the smooth paper knife in her little hands, she forced herself to read.”
Leo Tolstoy

“You see, when our attitudes outdistance our abilities, even the impossible becomes possible.”
John C. Maxwell

“Even in small matters, we can say, our intellect is not resolute. It will be resolute only if we fix our minds on one purpose and cling to it with discrimination, only if we work without looking for immediate results. At present, whether in politics or social reform we leap from one branch to another. I began with the illustration of a ball of earth and told you that, even if we concentrate on that, we can realise the atman.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“We cannot become what we need by remaining what we are.”
John C. Maxwell

“I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world.”
Thomas A. Edison

“Teaching should be such that what is offered is perceived as a valuable gift and not as a hard duty.”
Albert Einstein

“The emotion of DESIRE The emotion of FAITH The emotion of LOVE The emotion of SEX The emotion of ENTHUSIASM The emotion of ROMANCE The emotion of HOPE”
Napoleon Hill

“I don't want him to live forever, and I know that he's not going to live forever whether I want him to or not.”
C.S. Lewis

“Faith doesn’t always instantly deliver you, but it always carries you through.”
Joel Osteen

“This idea that government is beholden to the people, that it has no other source of power except the sovereign people, is still the newest and most unique idea in all the long history of man’s relation to man. This is the issue of this election: whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American Revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves. You and I are told increasingly that we have to choose between a left or right. There is only an up or down: up to man’s age-old dream—the ultimate in individual freedom consistent with law and order—or down to the ant heap of totalitarianism. And regardless of their sincerity, their humanitarian motives, those who would trade our freedom for security have embarked on this downward course. In this vote-harvesting time they use terms like the “Great Society,” or as we were told a few days ago by the president, we must accept a “greater government activity in the affairs of the people.” 
Ronald Reagan

“Grief is like a long valley, a winding valley where any bend may reveal a totally new landscape.”
C.S. Lewis

“We must use time wisely and forever realize that the time is always ripe to do right.”
Nelson Mandela

“Adapt what is useful, reject what is useless, and add what is specifically your own.”
Bruce Lee

“Divorce is not merely separating; it is the tearing apart of what was once joined together.”
T.D. Jakes

“When you live in light of eternity, your focus changes from “How much pleasure am I getting out of life?” to “How much pleasure is God getting out of my life?”
Rick Warren
