General Quotes

“Difference of opinion is advantageous in religion. The several sects perform the office of a Censor morum over each other. Is uniformity attainable? Millions of innocent men, women, and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined, imprisoned; yet we have not advanced one inch towards uniformity. What has been the effect of coercion? To make one half the world fools, and the other half hypocrites. To support roguery and error all over the earth. Let us reflect that it is inhabited by a thousand millions of people. That these profess probably a thousand different systems of religion. That ours is but one of that thousand. That if there be but one right, and ours that one, we should wish to see the 999 wandering sects gathered into the fold of truth. But against such a majority we cannot effect this by force. Reason and persuasion are the only practicable instruments. To make way for these, free enquiry must be indulged; and how can we wish others to indulge it while we refuse it ourselves.”
Thomas Jefferson

“The further one goes, the better the land seems. ”
Leo Tolstoy

“The Key to Success is Action”
Brian Tracy

“Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; this is all we can expect - We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die: Our own Country's Honor, all call upon us for a vigorous and manly exertion, and if we now shamefully fail, we shall become infamous to the whole world. Let us therefore rely upon the goodness of the Cause, and the aid of the supreme Being, in whose hands Victory is, to animate and encourage us to great and noble Actions - The Eyes of all our Countrymen are now upon us, and we shall have their blessings, and praises, if happily we are the instruments of saving them from the Tyranny meditated against them. Let us therefore animate and encourage each other, and shew the whole world, that a Freeman contending for Liberty on his own ground is superior to any slavish mercenary on earth.”
George Washington

“We cannot negotiate with people who say what's mine is mine and what's yours is negotiable."
John F. Kennedy

“Such will be a great lesson of peace: teaching men that what they cannot take by and election, neither can they take by war; teaching all the folly of being the beginners of a war.”
Abraham Lincoln

“Daniel and his companions were tempted to forsake their godly heritage but they refused. They even faced a fiery furnace rather than compromise.”
Billy Graham

“It is a very funny thing that the sleepier you are, the longer you take about getting to bed.”
C.S. Lewis

“No one can produce great things who is not thoroughly sincere in dealing with himself.”
John C. Maxwell

“Getting knocked down in life is a given; getting up and moving forward is a choice.”
Zig Ziglar

“Problems can only be avoided by exercising good judgment. Good judgment can only be gained by experiencing life’s problems.”
Jim Stovall

“What is to be done? There was no solution, but the universal solution which life gives to all questions, even the most complex and insoluble. The answer is: one must live in the needs of the day -- that is, forget oneself.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Quand la défaite surgit, acceptez-la comme le signal que vos plans ne sont pas cohérents, reconstruisez ces plans, et reprenez la voile une fois de plus vers vos aspirations. Si vous abandonnez avant d’avoir atteint votre but, vous êtes un “lâcheur”.”
Napoleon Hill

“To know oneself is to study oneself in action with another person.”
Bruce Lee

Barack Obama
