General Quotes

“I am conscious that an equal division of property is impracticable. But the consequences of this enormous inequality [in Europe] producing so much misery to the bulk of mankind, legislators cannot invent too many devices for subdividing property,...[One] means of silently lessening the inequality of property is to exempt all from taxation below a certain point, and to tax the higher portions of property in geometrical progression as they rise.”
Thomas Jefferson

“Never use abstract nouns when concrete ones will do. If you mean “More people died” don’t say “Mortality rose.”
C.S. Lewis

“Christianity is a Gospel of crisis. It proclaims unmistakably that this world’s days are numbered.”
Billy Graham

“How do we counter the trend of worldliness? We must saturate our minds, hearts, and souls with God’s Word. The Bible says, “Train yourself to be godly” (1 Timothy 4:7).”
Billy Graham

“I find the idea quite intolerable that an electron exposed to radiation should choose of its own free will not only its moment to jump off but its direction. In that case I would rather be a cobbler, or even an employee in a gaming house, than a physicist.”
Albert Einstein

“A beginning is the time for taking the most delicate care that the balances are correct. This every sister of the Bene Gesserit knows. To begin your study of the life of Maud'Dib, then, take care that you first place him in his time: born in the 57th year of the Padishah Emperor, Shaddam IV. And take the most special care that you locate Maud'Dib in his place: the planet Arrakis. Do not be deceived by the fact that he was born on Caladan and lived his first fifteen years there. Arrakis, the planet known as Dune, is forever his place.”
Frank Herbert

“I lived through this horror, I can take the next thing that comes along . . .’ You must do the thing you think you cannot do.’” She learned that “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.”

Napoleon Hill

“Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair, but manifestations of strength and resolution.”
John C. Maxwell

“An odd by-product of my loss is that I’m aware of being an embarrassment to everyone I meet. At work, at the club, in the street, I see people, as they approach me, trying to make up their minds whether they’ll ‘say something about it’ or not. I hate it if they do, and if they don’t. Some funk it altogether. R. has been avoiding me for a week. I like best the well brought-up young men, almost boys, who walk up to me as if I were a dentist, turn very red, get it over, and then edge away to the bar as quickly as they decently can. Perhaps the bereaved ought to be isolated in special settlements like lepers.”
C.S. Lewis

“It is the absence of the knowledge of God and man’s refusal to obey Him that lie at the root of every problem which besets us.”
Billy Graham

“We must act, knowing that our work will be imperfect.”
Barack Obama

“You cannot change your life until you change something you do every day.”
John C. Maxwell

“In loving one another through our works we bring an increase of grace and a growth in divine love.”

“When strangers meet, great allowances should be made for differences in custom and training.”
Frank Herbert
