General Quotes

“The ideals which have always shone before me and filled me with joy are goodness, beauty, and truth.”
Albert Einstein

“I had begun to see a new map of the world, one that was frightening in its simplicity, suffocating in its implications. We were always playing on the white man's court, Ray had told me, by the white man's rules. If the principal, or the coach, or a teacher, or Kurt, wanted to spit in your face, he could, because he had power and you didn't. If he decided not to, if he treated you like a man or came to your defense, it was because he knew that the words you spoke, the clothes you wore, the books you read, your ambitions and desires, were already his. Whatever he decided to do, it was his decision to make, not yours, and because of that fundamental power he held over you, because it preceded and would outlast his individual motives and inclinations, any distinction between good and bad whites held negligible meaning.”
Barack Obama

“We see that humanism has become for many a polite name for a vocal, aggressive, influential crusade against religion in the name of social and moral advance. There is nothing new about humanism. It is the yielding to Satan’s first temptation of Adam and Eve: “Ye shall be as gods” [Genesis 3:5 KJV].”
Billy Graham

“An honest man can feel no pleasure in the exercise of power over his fellow citizens.”
Thomas Jefferson

“Never complain, never explain. Resist the temptation to defend yourself or make excuses.”
Brian Tracy

“No problem is too small or too trivial if we can really do something about it.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“Where the press is free and every man able to read, all is safe.”
Thomas Jefferson

“You cannot separate your identity from your perspective. All that you are and every experience you’ve had color how you see things. It is your lens.”
John C. Maxwell

“It occurred to her that mercy was the ability to stop, if only for a moment. There was no mercy where there could be no stopping.”
Frank Herbert

“Millions of men, renouncing their human feelings and reason, had to go from west to east to slay their fellows, just as some centuries previously hordes of men had come from the east to the west slaying their fellows.”
Leo Tolstoy

“There are many causes that I am prepared to die for, but no causes that I am prepared to kill for.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“Chosen by God for this new life of love, I dress in the wardrobe He picked out for me: compassion, kindness, humility, quiet strength, discipline. I am even-tempered, content with second place, quick to forgive an offense. I forgive as quickly and completely as the Master forgave me. And regardless of what else I put on, I wear love. It is my basic, all-purpose garment. I never want to be without it. —COLOSSIANS 3:12-14 (THE MESSAGE)”
Joyce Meyer

“I never heard weeping like that before or after; not from a child, nor a man wounded in the palm, nor a tortured man, nor a girl dragged off to slavery from a taken city. If you heard the woman you most hate in the world weep so, you would go to comfort her. You would fight your way through fire and spears to reach her. And I knew who wept, and what had been done to her, and who had done it.”
C.S. Lewis

“I believe integrity can be restored to a society one person at a time. The choice belongs to each of us.”
Billy Graham

“Everything you do is triggered by an emotion of either desire or fear.”
Brian Tracy
