General Quotes

“it’s a human trait that when we encounter personal problems, those things most deeply personal are the most difficult to bring out for our logic to scan. We tend to flounder around, blaming everything but the actual, deep-seated thing that’s really chewing on us.”
Frank Herbert

“The Christian is in a different position from other people who are trying to be good. They hope, by being good, to please God if there is one; or — if they think there is not — at least they hope to deserve approval from good men. But the Christian thinks any good he does comes from the Christ-life inside him. He does not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves us; just as the roof of a greenhouse does not attract the sun because it is bright, but becomes bright because the sun shines on it.”
C.S. Lewis

“The big secret in life is there is no secret. Whatever your goal. You can get there if you're willing to work.”
Oprah Winfrey

“Preaching the whole council of God involves man’s environment and physical being as well as his soul. There is no doubt that the church is in danger of getting off the main track and getting lost.”
Billy Graham

“Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind.”
Frank Herbert

“Men may speculate as they will; they may talk of patriotism; they may draw a few examples from ancient story, of great achievements performed by its influence; but whoever builds upon it, as a sufficient Basis for conducting a long and bloody War, will find themselves deceived in the end. We must take the passions of Men as Nature has given them, and those principles as a guide which are generally the rule of Action. I do not mean to exclude altogether the Idea of Patriotism. I know it exists, and i know it has done much in the present Contest. But I will venture to assert, that a great and lasting War can never be supported on this principle alone. It must be aided by a prospect of Interest or some reward. For a time, it may, of itself push Men to Action; to bear much, to encounter difficulties; but it will not endure unassisted by Interest.”
George Washington

“The sin both of men and of angels, was rendered possible by the fact that God gave us free will.”
C.S. Lewis

“Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. Point out to them how the nominal winner is often a real loser - in fees, expenses, and waste of time. As a peacemaker the lawyer has a superior opportunity of being a good man. There will still be business enough.”
Abraham Lincoln

“The more you are grateful for what you have the more you will have to be grateful for”
Zig Ziglar

“I'm a little pencil in the hand of a writing God, who is sending a love letter to the world.”
Mother Teresa

“The world does not need more Christian literature. What it needs is more Christians writing good literature.”
C.S. Lewis

“All I know is that the first step is to create a vision, because when you see the vision – the beautiful vision – that creates the want power.”
Arnold Schwarzenegger

“If ever they remembered their life in this world it was as one remembers a dream.”
C.S. Lewis

“Any system that penalizes success and accomplishment is wrong. Any system that discourages work, discourages productivity, discourages economic progress, is wrong. If, on the other hand, you reduce tax rates and allow people to spend or save more of what they earn, they’ll be more industrious; they’ll have more incentive to work hard, and money they earn will add fuel to the great economic machine that energizes our national progress. The result: more prosperity for all—and more revenue for government. A few economists call this principle supply-side economics. I just call it common sense.”
Ronald Reagan

“Growth is limited by the necessity which is present in the least amount. And naturally, the least favorable condition controls the growth rate”
Frank Herbert
