“Perceiving the order of nature to be that individual happiness shall be inseparable from the practice of virtue, I am willing to hope it may have ordained that the fall of the wicked shall be the rise of the good.  To J. Correa de Serra, Monticello, Apr. 19, 1814”
Thomas Jefferson

“My mother is my doctor Caring for me when am ill I will love her forever till We are gone to our creator!”

“The fear of death is the most unjustified of all fears, for there's no risk of accident for someone who's dead.”
Albert Einstein

“All of us have in our veins the exact same percentage of salt in our blood that exists in the ocean, and, therefore, we have salt in our blood, in our sweat, in our tears. We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea - whether it is to sail or to watch it - we are going back from whence we came.”
John F. Kennedy

“I realised that in refusing to take a vow man was drawn into temptation, and that to be bound by a vow was like a passage from libertinism to a real monogamous marriage. “I believe in effort, I do not want to bind myself with vows,” is the mentality of weakness and betrays a subtle desire for the thing to be avoided. Or where can be the difficulty in making a final decision? I vow to flee from the serpent which I know will bite me, I do not simply make an effort to flee from him. I know that mere effort may mean certain death. Mere effort means ignorance of the certain fact that the serpent is bound to kill me. The fact, therefore, that I could rest content with an effort only, means that I have not yet clearly realised the necessity of definite action. “But supposing my views are changed in the future, how can I bind myself by a vow?” Such a doubt often deters us. But that doubt also betrays a lack of clear perception that a particular thing must be renounced.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“If standard of living is your major objective, quality of life almost never improves, but if quality of life is your number one objective, your standard of living almost always improves.”

“Success can be defined as the progressive realization of a predetermined goal.”
John C. Maxwell

“I wish I was a despot that I might save the noble, the beautiful trees that are daily falling sacrifice to the cupidity of their owners, or the necessity of the poor. The unnecessary felling of a tree, perhaps the growth of centuries, seems to me a crime little short of murder.”
Thomas Jefferson

“I object to that remark very strongly! - The Magician's Nephew”
C.S. Lewis

“Cultivate the habit of defining, refining, redefining and redeeming your opportunities. Failure is a temporal event, not a permanent trademark.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“It’s only when we forget ourselves that we do the things that deserve to be remembered.” 
Rick Warren

“There are no drive-thru breakthroughs. Breakthroughs take time.”
Joyce Meyer

“He liked books if they were books of information and had pictures of grain elevators or of fat foreign children doing exercises in model schools.”
