General Quotes

“No natural feelings are high or low, holy or unholy, in themselves. They are all holy when God's hand is on the rein. They all go bad when they set up on their own and make themselves into false gods.”
C.S. Lewis

“being a member of a minority race doesn’t mean being a minority achiever.”
Ben Carson

“On the first day of school, my teacher, Miss Mdingane, gave each of us an English name and said that from thenceforth that was the name we would answer to in school. This was the custom among Africans in those days and was undoubtedly due to the British bias of our education. The education I received was a British education, in which British ideas, British culture, British institutions, were automatically assumed to be superior. There was no such thing as African culture. Africans of my generation—and even today—generally have both an English and an African name. Whites were either unable or unwilling to pronounce an African name, and considered it uncivilized to have one. That day, Miss Mdingane told me that my new name was Nelson. Why she bestowed this particular name upon me I have no idea. Perhaps it had something to do with the great British sea captain Lord Nelson, but that would be only a guess.”
Nelson Mandela

“You cannot have the right to do what is wrong!”
Abraham Lincoln

“Read and Re-Read--"Re-reading, we always find a new book.” 
C.S. Lewis

“There are only two ways to live your life: as though nothing is a miracle, or as though everything is a miracle.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“If you lose hope, somehow you lose the vitality that keeps moving, you lose that courage to be, that quality that helps you go on in spite of it all. And so today I still have a dream.”

“I know where my lane is, and I know how to stay in my lane. My lane is evolving the consciousness of people.”
Oprah Winfrey

“Christianity is not a spectator sport, it’s something in which we become totally involved.”
Billy Graham

“We expect rewards for goodness, and punishments for the bad things which we do. Often, they are not immediately”
Leo Tolstoy

“No one can understand my conflict who has not looked into the eyes of those he loves, knowing that he has no alternative but to take a dangerous stand that leaves them tormented.” 
Martin Luther King Jr

“When I think about how I understand my role as citizen, setting aside being president, and the most important set of understandings that I bring to that position of citizen, the most important stuff I’ve learned I think I’ve learned from novels. It has to do with empathy. It has to do with being comfortable with the notion that the world is complicated and full of grays, but there’s still truth there to be found, and that you have to strive for that and work for that. And the notion that it’s possible to connect with some[one] else even though they’re very different from you.”
Barack Obama

“Don’t be determined to never have problems. Be determined to stay full of joy in the midst of your problems.”
Joel Osteen

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

“There will be today, there will be tomorrow, there will be always, and there was yesterday, and there was the day before...”
Leo Tolstoy
