General Quotes

“Adversity kills fearful people just by showing them its weapons. As to whether that weapon is fatal or fake, they don't care to know before they surrender!”
Israelmore Ayivor

“In fact, you couldn't even be sure that everything you had assumed to be an expression of your black, unfettered self-- the humor, the song, the behind-the-back pass-- had been freely chosen by you. At best, these things were a refuge; at worst, a trap. Following this maddening logic, the only thing you could choose as your own was withdrawal into a smaller and smaller coil of rage, until being black meant only the knowledge of your own powerlessness, of your own defeat. And the final irony: Should you refuse this defeat and lash out at your captors, they would have a name for that, too, a name that could cage you just as good. Paranoid. Militant. Violent. Nigger.”
Barack Obama

“The tragedy of life is what dies inside a man while he lives.”
Albert Einstein

“Always take hold of things by the smooth handle.”
Thomas Jefferson

“So it would be, were it not for the law of inertia, as immutable a force in men and nations as in inanimate bodies. In men it takes the form of the psychological principle, so truly expressed in the words of the Gospel, " They have loved darkness better than light, because their deeds were evil." This principle shows itself in men not trying to recognise the truth, but to persuade themselves that the life they are leading, which is what they like and are used to, is a life perfectly consistent with truth.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Receive his Spirit, who will give you the power to fulfill your life purpose.”
Rick Warren

“Every graveyard and every cemetery testify that the Bible is true.”
Billy Graham

“To get rid of an enemy one must love him. ”
Leo Tolstoy

“La mayor parte de las personas buscan la excepción en vez de ser excepcionales.”
John C. Maxwell

“Very well, Broadway, you may whip some, but not me. I’m going to force you to give up.”
Napoleon Hill

“God is willing! God will save! God will rescue! God will restore! God will revive! God will empower! God willing and He will do it!”
Israelmore Ayivor

“We ain't what we oughta be. We ain't what we want to be. We ain't what we gonna be. But, thank God, we ain't what we was.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“Let them judge me as they like, I could deceive them, but myself I cannot deceive...and strange to say, in this acknowledgement of his baseness there was something painful yet joyful and quieting. More than once in Nekhlyudov's life there had been what he called, 'a cleansing of the soul.' A state of mind in which, after a long period of sluggish inner life...he began to clear out all the rubbish that had accumulated in his soul and caused the cessation of true life. After such an awakening, Nekhlyudov always made some rules for himself...wrote in his diary, began afresh... ”
Leo Tolstoy

“So long as a man does not of his own free will put himself last among his fellow creatures, there is no salvation for him.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“We need instead to find people who are in sync with our beat and form a more perfect union with those who hear the same rhythm! It is time for us to find the thing we were created to do, the people we were meant to affect, and the power that comes from alignment with purpose.”
T.D. Jakes
