General Quotes

“In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.”
Abraham Lincoln

“Those whose acquaintance with scientific research is derived chiefly from its practical results easily develop a completely false notion of the mentality of the men who, surrounded by a skeptical world, have shown the way to kindred spirits scattered wide through the world and through the centuries. Only one who has devoted his life to similar ends can have a vivid realization of what has inspired these men and given them the strength to remain true to their purpose in spite of countless failures. It is cosmic religious feeling that gives a man such strength. A contemporary has said, not unjustly, that in this materialistic age of ours the serious scientific workers are the only profoundly religious people.”
Albert Einstein

“Let us therefore animate and encourage each other, and show the whole world that a Freeman, contending for liberty on his own ground, is superior to any slavish mercenary on earth.”
George Washington

“it's impossible to remain angry or blame other people for problems in your life when you are saying , "I am responsible”
Brian Tracy

“Jesus told His disciples that the “world,” meaning the world system, the political and social order organized apart from God, will despise Christians.”
Billy Graham

“God forgive me everything!’ she said, feeling the impossibility of struggling...”
Leo Tolstoy

“There is no greatness where simplicity, goodness and truth are absent”
Leo Tolstoy

“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

“It's not those who are handsome we love, but those we love who are handsome.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Life is one grand sweet song so start the music”
Ronald Reagan

“la virtud y la generosidad son recompensadas de un modo inescrutable.”
Nelson Mandela

“We do not fail to enjoy the fruit of the Spirit because we live in a sea of corruption; we fail to do so because the sea of corruption is in us.”
Billy Graham

“In each of my friends there is something that only some other friend can fully bring out. By myself I am not large enough to call the whole man into activity; I want other lights than my own to show all his facets... Hence true Friendship is the least jealous of loves. Two friends delight to be joined by a third, and three by a fourth, if only the newcomer is qualified to become a real friend. They can then say, as the blessed souls say in Dante, "Here comes one who will augment our loves." For in this love "to divide is not to take away.”
C.S. Lewis

“Who can say thus far, no further, to the tide of his own nature?” Who can erase the impressions with which he is born? It is idle to expect one’s children and wards necessarily to follow the same course of evolution as oneself.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“In captivity, in the shed, Pierre had learned, not with his mind, but with his whole being, his life, that man is created for happiness, that happiness is within him, in the satisfying of natural human needs, and that all unhappiness comes not from lack, but from superfluity; but now, in these last three weeks of the march, he had learned a new and more comforting truth - he had learned that there is nothing frightening in the world. He had learned that, as there is no situation in the world in which a man can be happy and perfectly free, so there is no situation in which he can be perfectly unhappy and unfree. He had learned that there is a limit to suffering and a limit to freedom, and that those limits are very close; that the man who suffers because one leaf is askew in his bed of roses, suffers as much as he now suffered falling asleep on the bare, damp ground, one side getting cold as the other warmed up; that when he used to put on his tight ballroom shoes, he suffered just as much as now, when he walked quite barefoot (his shoes had long since worn out) and his feet were covered with sores.”
Leo Tolstoy
