General Quotes

“I'm a slow walker, but I never walk back.”
Abraham Lincoln

“It be urged that the wild and uncultivated tree, hitherto yielding sour and bitter fruit only, can never be made to yield better; yet we know that the grafting art implants a new tree on the savage stock, producing what is most estimable in kind and degree. Education, in like manner, engrafts a new man on the native stock, and improves what in his nature was vicious and perverse into qualities of virtue and social worth.”
Thomas Jefferson

“That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood. Our nation is at war, against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred. Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age. Homes have been lost; jobs shed; businesses shuttered. Our health care is too costly; our schools fail too many; and each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet.”
Barack Obama

“When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses, for art establishes the basic human truths which must serve as the touchstones of our judgement. The artists, however faithful to his personal vision of reality, becomes the last champion of the individual mind and sensibility against an intrusive society and an officious state. The great artist is thus a solitary figure. He has, as Frost said, "a lover's quarrel with the world." In pursuing his perceptions of reality he must often sail against the currents of his time. This is not a popular role.”
John F. Kennedy

“The people who can destroy a thing, they control it.”
Frank Herbert

“You can't BREED at a place where you can't BREATHE. Therefore, FIX yourself where you FIT.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“Don't be envious of the runner in the lane next to you; just focus on finishing your race.”
Rick Warren

“Do not be interested in the quantity of people who respect and admire you, but in their quality. If bad people dislike you, so much the better. —LUCIUS ANNAEUS SENECA”
Leo Tolstoy

“We were created to live in community. We are designed by God for relationships.” 
Rick Warren

“Any society which does not insist upon respect for all life must necessarily decay.”
Albert Einstein

“Great people talk about ideas, average people talk about themselves, and small people talk about others”
John C. Maxwell

“No matter when, at whatever moment, if she were asked what she was thinking about she could reply quite correctly - one thing, her happiness and her unhappiness.”
Leo Tolstoy

“There are two masters, and you have to choose which master you are going to serve.”
Billy Graham

“Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.”
John F. Kennedy

“Whenever I finished filming a movie, I felt my job was only half done. Every film had to be nurtured in the marketplace. You can have the greatest movie in the world, but if you don’t get it out there, if people don’t know about it, you have nothing.”
Arnold Schwarzenegger
