General Quotes

“Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.”
Albert Einstein

“The Fremen have a simple, practical religion,” he said. “Nothing about religion is simple.”
Frank Herbert

“That ideas should freely spread from one to another over the globe, for the moral and mutual instruction of man, and improvement of his condition, seems to have been peculiarly and benevolently designed by nature, when she made them, like fire, expansible over all space, without lessening their density in any point, and like the air in which we breathe, move, and have our physical being, incapable of confinement or exclusive appropriation. Inventions then cannot, in nature, be a subject of property.”
Thomas Jefferson

“Never joined the wrong boat. When the destination is right, and the direction is wronged, everything goes wrongly!”
Israelmore Ayivor

“A nation or civilization that continues to produce soft-minded men purchases its own spiritual death on the installment plan.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“Christ needs people today who are made of martyr stuff! Dare to take a strong, uncompromised stand for Him.”
Billy Graham

“One of the critical factors that make people’s dreams become nightmares is that they don’t know there is a cost to be paid!”
Israelmore Ayivor

“The oak sleeps in the acorn. The bird waits in the egg, and in the highest vision of the soul, a waking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of reality.”
Napoleon Hill

“Rostov was not listening to the soldier. He looked at the snowflakes dancing above the fire and remembered the Russian winter with a warm, bright house, a fluffy fur coat, swift sleighs, a healthy body, and all the love and care of a family. “And why did I come here?” he wondered.”
Leo Tolstoy

“You owe it to yourself, to refuse to surrender to obstacles that are meant to stop you from reaching far in your endeavours. Be determined that you will never be a captive of your environment.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another, but let him work diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built.”
Abraham Lincoln

“There is no need to be worried by facetious people who try to make the Christian hope of ‘Heaven’ ridiculous by saying they do not want ‘to spend eternity playing harps’. The answer to such people is that if they cannot understand books written for grown-ups, they should not talk about them. All the scriptural imagery (harps, crowns, gold, etc.) is, of course, a merely symbolical attempt to express the inexpressible. Musical instruments are mentioned because for many people (not all) music is the thing known in the present life which most strongly suggests ecstasy and infinity. Crowns are mentioned to suggest the fact that those who are united with God in eternity share His splendour and power and joy. Gold is mentioned to suggest the timelessness of Heaven (gold does not rust) and the preciousness of it. People who take these symbols literally might as well think that when Christ told us to be like doves, He meant that we were to lay eggs.”
C.S. Lewis

“Failing is an event, not a person. Yesterday ended last night.”
Zig Ziglar

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“I am struck here by the curious mixture of justice and injustice in our lives. We are blamed for our real faults but usually not on the right occasions.”
C.S. Lewis
