General Quotes

“Definiteness of decision always requires courage, sometimes very great courage. The fifty-six men who signed the Declaration of Independence staked their lives on the decision to affix their signatures to that document.”
Napoleon Hill

In those days also people loved, envied, sought truth and virtue, and where carried away by passions; and there was the same complex mental and moral life among the upper classes, where were in some instances even more refined than now. If we have come to believe in the perversity and coarse violence of that period, that is only because the traditions, memoirs, stories, and novels that have been handed to us, record for the most part exceptional cases of violence and brutality. To suppose that the predominant characteristic of that period was turbulence, is as unjust as it would before a man, seeing nothing but the tops of trees beyond a hill, to conclude that there was nothing to be found in that locality but trees.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Do not take the agenda that someone else has mapped out for your life.”
John C. Maxwell

“Repetition is the mother of learning, the father of action, which makes it the architect of accomplishment.”
Zig Ziglar

“It’s a sure thing that you will not finish if you don’t start. The most difficult part of any job is getting started.”
Napoleon Hill

“No man knows how bad he is till he has tried very hard to be good.”
C.S. Lewis

“Edmund, give a special goodbye to Trumpkin for me. He's been a brick.”
C.S. Lewis

“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

“mother instilled in me a deep respect for the potential of the human brain, and that respect has deepened over the years to an attitude I can only describe as awe. Every time I open a child’s head and see a brain, I marvel at the mystery: This is what makes every one of us who we are. This is what holds all our memories, all our thoughts, all our dreams. This is what makes us different from each other in millions of ways. And yet if I could expose my brain and your brain and place them side by side, you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference—even though we might be very different people. That still amazes me. Inside each human brain are billions and billions of complex interconnections, neurons and synapses, which science has only barely begun to understand. When you add to that the mystery of mind”
Ben Carson

“There comes a time when silence is betrayal.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“My own plans are made. While I can, I sail east in the Dawn Treader. When she fails me, I paddle east in my coracle. When she sinks, I shall swim east with my four paws. And when I can swim no longer, if I have not reached Aslan’s country, or shot over the edge of the world into some vast cataract, I shall sink with my nose to the sunrise.”
C.S. Lewis

“You are nothing unless it comes from your heart. Passion, caring, really looking to create excellence. If you perform functions only and go to work only to do processes, then you are effectively retired. And it scares me—most people I see, by age twenty-eight are retired.”
John C. Maxwell

“I don’t count life as life without love”
Leo Tolstoy

“The basis of our political systems is the right of the people to make and to alter their Constitutions of Government.”
