General Quotes

“It is man and not the Bible that needs correcting. Greater and more careful scholarship has shown that apparent contradictions were caused by incorrect translations, rather than divine inconsistencies.”
Billy Graham

“...but most of all he liked to listen to stories of real life. He smiled gleefully as he listened to such stories, putting in words and asking questions, all aiming at bringing out clearly the moral beauty of the action of which he was told. Attachments, friendships, love, as Pierre understood them, Karataev had none, but he loved and lived on affectionate terms with every creature with whom he was thrown in life, and especially so with man- not with any particular man, but with the men that happened to be before his eyes. But his life, as he looked at it, had no meaning as a separate life. It only had meaning as part of a whole, of which he was at all times conscious.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Mary can’t control her actions because she doesn’t control her thoughts.” 
Joyce Meyer

“God isn’t finished with you when you retire! When we know Christ, we never retire from His service.”
Billy Graham

“No man is good enough to govern another man without that other’s consent.”
Abraham Lincoln

“The greatest discovery of all time is that a person can change his future by merely changing his attitude.”
Oprah Winfrey

“But our strategy for peace with freedom must also be based on strength—economic strength and military strength.”
Ronald Reagan

“I always loved you, and if one loves anyone, one loves the whole person, just as they are and not as one would like them to be. -Dolly
Leo Tolstoy

“Whites, it must frankly be said, are not putting in a similar mass effort to reeducate themselves out of their racial ignorance.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when character is lost, all is lost.”
John C. Maxwell

“By concentrating single-mindedly on your most important task, you can reduce the time required to complete it by 50 percent or more. It has been estimated that the tendency to start and stop a task—to pick it up, put it down, and come back to it—can increase the time necessary to complete the task by as much as 500 percent. Each time you return to the task, you have to familiarize yourself with where you were when you stopped and what you still have to do. You have to overcome inertia and get yourself going again. You have to develop momentum and get into a productive work rhythm. But when you prepare thoroughly and then begin, refusing to stop or turn aside until the job is done, you develop energy, enthusiasm, and motivation. You get better and better and more productive. You work faster and more effectively.”
Brian Tracy

“Many have marked the speed with which Muad'Dib learned the necessities of Arrakis. The Bene Gesserit, of course, know the basis of this speed. For the others, we can say that Muad'Dib learned rapidly because his first training was in how to learn. And the first lesson of all was the basic trust that he could learn. It is shocking to find how many people do not believe they can learn, and how many more believe learning to be difficult. Muad'Dib knew that every experience carries its lesson.”
Frank Herbert

“We know nothing of religion here: we only think of Christ.”
C.S. Lewis

“Surely what a man does when he is taken off his guard is the best evidence for what sort of man he is.”
C.S. Lewis

“Levin scowled. The humiliation of his rejection stung him to the heart, as though it were a fresh wound he had only just received. But he was at home, and at home the very walls are a support.”
Leo Tolstoy
