General Quotes

“Retaliation retards your excellence. Nelson Mandela would not have been named as a great man if not for his courage to forgive those who schemed and plotted it for him to spend those 10000 bitter days in prison.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“All great literature is one of two stories; a man goes on a journey or a stranger comes to town.”
Leo Tolstoy

Pierre was for the first time at this meeting impressed by the endless multiplicity of men's minds, which leads to no truth being ever seen by two persons alike...What Pierre chiefly desired was always to transmit his thought to another exactly as he conceived it himself.”
Leo Tolstoy

“The clearest version of vision, backed by the purest grade of greed is a ripen file of failure.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“Don't wait! The time will never be just right.
Napoleon Hill

“You may think you’ve got a long way to go, but you need to look back at how far you’ve already come. You may not be everything you want to be but atleast you can thank God that you’re not what you used to be.”
Joel Osteen

“Conservative or liberal, we are all constitutionalists.”

“We are afraid that Heaven is a bribe, and that if we make it our goal we shall no longer be disinterested. It is not so. Heaven offers nothing that the mercenary soul can desire. It is safe to tell the pure in heart that they shall see God, for only the pure in heart want to. There are rewards that do not sully motives. A man's love for a woman is not mercenary because he wants to marry her, nor his love for poetry mercenary because he wants to read it, nor his love of exercise less disinterested because he wants to run and leap and walk. Love, by definition, seeks to enjoy its object.”
C.S. Lewis

“How can a person who has awakened to the truth about his body ever die? Such a one attains to immortality.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“Men of genius are admired, men of wealth are envied, men of power are feared, but only men of character are trusted.”
Zig Ziglar

“It is not as important how we start (our past), but how we finish.”
Joyce Meyer

“If you give what you do not need, it is not giving.”
Mother Teresa

“I can't imagine a man really enjoying a book and reading it only once.”
C.S. Lewis

“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

“Christ manifests his divine leadership in your sincere followership. Christ's followers become true leaders because Christ is the model of true leadership.”
Israelmore Ayivor
