― Rick Warren

“All is safe where all can read," is a quotation from Thomas Jefferson showing his belief in the importance of everyone knowing how to and being able/allowed to read.

No matter what you like to read, the ability to read it, understand it, and enjoy it, truly enriches your life.”
― Thomas Jefferson

“He is the devotee who is jealous of none, who is a fount of mercy, who is without egotism, who is selfless, who treats alike cold and heat, happiness and misery, who is ever forgiving, who is always contented, whose resolutions are firm, who has dedicated mind and soul to God, who causes no dread, who is not afraid of others, who is free from exultation, sorrow and fear, who is pure, who is versed in action and yet remains unaffected by it, who renounces all fruit, good or bad, who treats friend and foe alike, who is untouched by respect or disrespect, who is not puffed up by praise, who does not go under when people speak ill of him, who loves silence and solitude, who has a disciplined reason. Such devotion is inconsistent with the existence at the same time of strong attachments. 18. We thus see that to be a real devotee is to realize oneself. Self-realization is not something apart. One rupee can purchase for us poison or nectar, but knowledge or devotion cannot buy us salvation or bondage. These are not media of exchange. They are themselves the thing we want. In other words, if the means and the end are not identical, they are almost so. The extreme of means is salvation. Salvation of the Gita is perfect peace.”
― Mahatma Gandhi

I think if every pastor should have entrepreneurial knowledge coupled with spiritual integrity, Africa will shake!”
― Israelmore Ayivor

“Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless, like water. Be water, my friend.”
― Bruce Lee

“When someone hurts us, our natural instinct is to strike back—but when we do, we not only destroy any possibility of reconciliation, but we also allow anger and hate to control us.”
― Billy Graham

“God has not given us the spirit of fear. So imagine where your fear coming from. It's from somewhere else!” 
― Israelmore Ayivor

“ When you are young and strong...you can stay alive on your hatred"....but realized later "They can take everything from me except my mind and heart"
