General Quotes

“There lay between them, separating them, that same terrible line of the unknown and of fear, like the line separating the living from the dead.”
Leo Tolstoy

“God’s strength is made perfect in weakness. The weaker I became, the more powerful became the preaching.”
Billy Graham

“Be polite to all, but intimate with few.”
Thomas Jefferson

“His plan has good points and bad points...as any plan would at this stage. A plan depends as much upon execution as it does upon concept.”
Frank Herbert

“wisdom needs no violence...As it is we have played at war – that’s what’s vile! We play at magnanimity and all that stuff. Such magnanimity and sensibility are like the magnanimity and sensibility of a lady who faints when she sees a calf being killed: she is so kindhearted that she can’t look at blood, but enjoys eating the calf served up with sauce...If there was none of this magnanimity in war, we should go to war only when it was worth while going to certain death, as it is now. Then there would not be war because Paul Ivanovich had offended Michael Ivanovich.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Speech is silver but silence is golden.”
Leo Tolstoy

“The future is not a gift-it is an achievement.”
Albert Einstein

“But as long as you know you're nobody special, you'll be a very decent sort of Horse, on the whole, and taking one thing with another.”
C.S. Lewis

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. GALATIANS 5:22–23”
Joel Osteen

“What I know for sure is that pleasure is energy reciprocated: What you put out comes back. Your base level of pleasure is determined by how you view your whole life.” 
Oprah Winfrey

“No hay caminos para la paz; la paz es el camino.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“I know now, Lord, why you utter no answer. You are yourself the answer. Before your face questions die away. What other answer would suffice?”
C.S. Lewis

“Suppose one reads a story of filthy atrocities in the paper. Then suppose that something turns up suggesting that the story might not be quite true, or not quite so bad as it was made out. Is one's first feeling, 'Thank God, even they aren't quite so bad as that,' or is it a feeling of disappointment, and even a determination to cling to the first story for the sheer pleasure of thinking your enemies are as bad as possible? If it is the second then it is, I am afraid, the first step in a process which, if followed to the end, will make us into devils. You see, one is beginning to wish that black was a little blacker. If we give that wish its head, later on we shall wish to see grey as black, and then to see white itself as black. Finally we shall insist on seeing everything -- God and our friends and ourselves included -- as bad, and not be able to stop doing it: we shall be fixed for ever in a universe of pure hatred.”
C.S. Lewis

“the strength of the team is impacted by its weakest link.”
John C. Maxwell

“Heroes may not be braver than anyone else. They're just braver 5 minutes longer.”
Ronald Reagan
