General Quotes

“Eros will have naked bodies; Friendship naked personalities.”
C.S. Lewis

“No sooner do we believe that God loves us than there is an impulse to believe that He does so, not because He is Love, but because we are intrinsically lovable. The Pagans obeyed this impulse unabashed; a good man was "dear to the gods" because he was good. We, being better taught, resort to subterfuge. Far be it from us to think that we have virtues for which God could love us. But then, how magnificently we have repented! As Bunyan says, describing his first and illusory conversion, "I thought there was no man in England that pleased God better than I." Beaten out of this, we next offer our own humility to God's admiration. Surely He'll like that? Or if not that, our clear-sighted and humble recognition that we still lack humility. Thus, depth beneath depth and subtlety within subtelty, there remains some lingering idea of our own, our very own attractiveness. It is easy to acknowledge, but almost impossible to realize for long, that we are mirrors whose brightness, if we are bright, is wholly derived from the sun that shines upon us. Surely we must have a little--however little--native luminosity? Surely we can't be quite creatures?
C.S. Lewis

“The Lord is gracious and full of compassion, slow to anger and abounding in mercy and loving-kindness. The Lord is good to all, and His tender mercies are over all His works [the entirety of things created]. Psalm 145:8–9” 
Joyce Meyer

“Love your children—and let them know you love them. Children who experience love find it far easier to believe God loves them.”
Billy Graham

“Advice is what we ask for when we already knew the answer but wish we didn't.”
John C. Maxwell

“I screwed up.”
Barack Obama

“There are no bad pictures; that's just how your face looks sometimes.”
Abraham Lincoln

“There are two masters, and you have to choose which master you are going to serve.”
Billy Graham

“All I can tell you is that at the end, there's nothing left but love.”
Bruce Lee

“That is why the key to long-lasting success is to develop habits — new, positive habits that replace our self-defeating behaviors.”
Rick Warren

“If you want to be happy, be.”
Leo Tolstoy

“In Varenka, she realized that one has but to forget oneself and love others, and one will be calm, happy, and noble.”
Leo Tolstoy

“After the riot in Chicago that Summer, I was greatly discouraged. But we had trained a group of about two thousand disciplined devotees of nonviolence who were willing to take blows without retaliation. We started out engaging in constitutional privileges, marching before real estate offices in all-white communities. And that nonviolent , disciplined, determined force created such a crisis in the city of Chicago that the city had to do something to change conditions. We didn’t have any Molotov cocktails, we didn’t have any bricks, we didn’t have guns, we just had the power of our bodies and our souls. There was power there, and it was demonstrated once more.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“World peace, like community peace, does not require that each man love his neighbor—it requires only that they live together in mutual tolerance, submitting their disputes to a just and peaceful settlement. And history teaches us that enmities between nations, as between individuals, do not last forever . . .”
John F. Kennedy

“Question for God every morning: What is the main event today? What do you want me to focus on today?”
John C. Maxwell
