General Quotes

“The chief reason why the prince was so particularly disagreeable to Vronsky was that he could not help seeing himself in him. And what he saw in this mirror did not gratify his self- esteem. He was a very stupid and very self-satisfied and very healthy and very well-washed man, and nothing else... He was equable and not cringing with his superiors, was free and ingratiating in his behavior with his equals, and was contemptuously indulgent with his inferiors... for this prince he was an inferior, and his contemptuous and indulgent attitude to him revolted him.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Lucy woke out of the deepest sleep you can imagine, with the feeling that the voice she liked best in the world had been calling her name.”
C.S. Lewis

“Loving the same man or woman all your life, why, that's like supposing the same candle could last you all your life”
Leo Tolstoy

“To get to know a country, you must have direct contact with the earth. It's futile to gaze at the world through a car window.”
Albert Einstein

“To evoke in oneself a feeling one has once experienced, and having evoked it in oneself, then by means of movements, lines, colors, sounds, or forms expressed in words, so to transmit that feeling that others may experience the same feeling - this is the activity of art.”
Leo Tolstoy

“You will say that these are very small sins; and doubtless, like all young tempters, you are anxious to be able to report spectacular wickedness. But do remember, the only thing that matters is the extent to which you separate the man from the Enemy. It does not matter how small the sins are provided that their cumulative effect is to edge the man away from the Light and out into the Nothing. Murder is no better than cards if cards can do the trick. Indeed the safest road to Hell is the gradual one-the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts.”
C.S. Lewis

“People like you and me never grow old. We never cease to stand like curious children before the great mystery into which we were born.”
Albert Einstein

“Where there is law there is injustice”
Leo Tolstoy

“We can hold nothing back [from God]. He must control and dominate us [wholly]. It is a surrender without any conditions attached. This surrender is a definite and conscious act on our part in obedience to the Word of God.”
Billy Graham

“We face dangers every day of which we are not even aware. Often God intervenes on our behalf through the use of His angels.”
Billy Graham

“The whole art of government consists in the art of being honest.”
Thomas Jefferson

“anyone will ride in a limo but a true friend will ride the bus when the limo breaks down”
Oprah Winfrey

“The man who is really serious, with the urge to find out what truth is, has no style at all. He lives only in what is.”
Bruce Lee

“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

“A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good, and who are not accustomed to have it done to them; then work which one hopes may be of some use; then rest, nature, books, music, love for one's neighbor — such is my idea of happiness.
Leo Tolstoy
