General Quotes

“If you do not conquer self, you will be conquered by self”
Napoleon Hill

“Authority confined in you does not make you a leader. It is the authority created by you that makes you influence people with your purpose.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“Milton was right,’ said my Teacher. ‘The choice of every lost soul can be expressed in the words “Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven.” There is always something they insist on keeping even at the price of misery. There is always something they prefer to joy—that is, to reality.”
C.S. Lewis

“Your success lies behind your choices... To get there, you must choose it and drive your dreams in that chosen direction!”
Israelmore Ayivor

“Forgiveness is about letting go of the past and not holding on to it”
Oprah Winfrey

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.”
C.S. Lewis

“In our world today most people compromise rather than take a stand for what is right. Jesus said we would be persecuted for righteousness’ sake, and most people are not up for that. Jesus also promised a reward; however, the majority of people want reward without commitment. If we do what God has asked us to do, we will get what He promised us we could have.”
Joyce Meyer

“Leaders are effective because of who they are on the inside—in the qualities that make them up as people. And to go to the highest level of leadership, people have to develop these traits from the inside out.”
John C. Maxwell

“No one has attained his goal without action. Even men like Janaka attained salvation through action.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“When you don’t know whom you’re trying to please, you cave in to three things: criticism (because you are concerned about what others will think of you), competition (because you worry about whether somebody else is getting ahead of you), and conflict (because you’re threatened when anyone disagrees with you).”
Rick Warren

“They [Narnia] are, perhaps, the greatest classics of children’s literature of the twentieth century.”
C.S. Lewis

“Do not wait. The time will never be ‘just right’. Start where you stand, work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.”
Napoleon Hill

“in every individual a spiritual element is manifested that gives life to all that exists, and that this spiritual element strives to unite with everything of a like nature to itself, and attains this aim through love.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“Millions of people miss today because either they refuse to let go of the past or they worry about the future.”
Joyce Meyer

“When once a man is launched on such an adventure as this, he must bid farewell to hopes and fears, otherwise death or deliverance will both come too late to save his honor and his reason. Ho, my beauties!”
C.S. Lewis
