General Quotes

“Man usually avoids attributing cleverness to somebody else- unless it is an enemy”
Albert Einstein

“One day when the Raiders were in Oakland, a reporter visited their locker room to talk to Ken Stabler. Stabler really wasn’t known as an intellectual, but he was a good quarterback. This newspaperman read him some English prose: “I would rather be ashes than dust. I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than that it should be stifled by dry rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy, impermanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.” After reading this to the quarterback, the reporter asked, “What does this mean to you?” Stabler immediately replied, “Throw deep.” Go after it. Go out to win in life.”
John C. Maxwell

“Life is too long to say anything definitely; always say perhaps.”
Leo Tolstoy

Is politics merely a pretext for shirking one's responsibilities, an excuse for not being able to provide in the way one wanted?”
Nelson Mandela

Israelmore Ayivor

“Be a victor, not a victim.”
