General Quotes

“Human beings with all their faults and strengths constitute the mechanism of a social movement. They must make mistakes and learn from them, make more mistakes and learn anew. They must taste defeat as well as success, and discover how to live with each. Time and action are the teachers.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“The fear of death is the most unjustified of all fears, for there's no risk of accident for someone who's dead.”
Albert Einstein

“Our profession is dreadful, writing corrupts the soul.”
Leo Tolstoy

“As I have said, the first thing is to be honest with yourself. You can never have an impact on society if you have not changed yourself... Great peacemakers are all people of integrity, of honesty, but humility.”
Nelson Mandela

“The more we believe that God hurts only to heal, the less we can believe that there is any use in begging for tenderness. A cruel man might be bribed...But suppose that what you are up against is a surgeon whose intentions are wholly good. The kinder and more conscientious he is, the more inexorably he will go on cutting. If he yielded to your entreaties, if he stopped before the operation was complete, all the pain up to that point would have been useless. But is it credible that such extremities of torture should be necessary for us? Well, take your choice. The tortures occur. If they are unnecessary, then there is no God or a bad one. If there is a good God, then these tortures are necessary. For no even moderately good Being could possibly inflict or permit them if they weren't. Either way, we're for it.”
C.S. Lewis

“The difference between real material poison and intellectual poison is that most material poison is disgusting to the taste, but intellectual poison, which takes the form of cheap newspapers or bad books, can unfortunately sometimes be attractive.”
Leo Tolstoy

“In contrast, the Bible says, “A man’s wisdom gives him patience; it is to his glory to overlook an offense.”15 Patience comes from wisdom, and wisdom comes from hearing the perspective of others. Listening says, “I value your opinion, I care about our relationship, and you matter to me.” The cliché is true: People don’t care what we know until they know we care.”
Rick Warren

“I set out on this ground, which I suppose to be self-evident, that the earth belongs in usufruct to the living.”
Thomas Jefferson

“You were never born with a silver spoon in your mouth. Don't think that way. You were born with a diamond spoon in your palm. Carry it by your own hand. Now, feed yourself”
Israelmore Ayivor

“What really interests me is whether God had any choice in the creation of the World.”
Albert Einstein

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

“A person who knows how may always have a job, but the person who knows why will always be his boss.”
John C. Maxwell

“The fact that you have access to the microphone doesn't mean you know everything. There are others listening to you, who know more things than you do, but do not have access to the platform to say it.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“He had nothing to start with, except the capacity to know what he wanted, and the determination to stand by that desire until he realized it.”
Napoleon Hill
