General Quotes

“Besides, I had learnt nothing at all of Indian law. I had not the slightest idea of Hindu and Mahomedan Law. I had not even learnt how to draft a plaint, and felt completely at sea. I had heard of Sir Pherozeshah Mehta as one who roared like a lion in law courts. How, I wondered, could he have learnt the art in England?”
Mahatma Gandhi

“Those who are enjoying something, or suffering something, together, are companions. Those who enjoy or suffer one another, are not.”
C.S. Lewis

“In earlier periods of history, adolescence was virtually unknown . . . Today, the span between childhood and adulthood may extend over ten years. Deferred adulthood is synonymous with deferred responsibility.”
Billy Graham

“He felt now that he was not simply close to her, but that he did not know where he ended and she began.”
Leo Tolstoy

“And that is enough to raise your thoughts to what may happen when the redeemed soul, beyond all hope and nearly beyond belief, learns at last that she has pleased Him whom she was created to please. There will be no room for vanity then. She will be free from the miserable illusion that it is her doing. With no taint of what we should now call self-approval she will most innocently rejoice in the thing that God has made her to be, and the moment which heals her old inferiority complex forever will also drown her pride… Perfect humility dispenses with modesty.”
C.S. Lewis

“Talent Is Overrated,”
Brian Tracy

“It was too perfect to last,' so I am tempted to say of our marriage. But it can be meant in two ways. It may be grimly pessimistic - as if God no sooner saw two of His creatures happy than He stopped it ('None of that here!'). As if He were like the Hostess at the sherry-party who separates two guests the moment they show signs of having got into a real conversation. But it could also mean 'This had reached its proper perfection. This had become what it had in it to be. Therefore of course it would not be prolonged.' As if God said, 'Good; you have mastered that exercise. I am very pleased with it. And now you are ready to go on to the next.”
C.S. Lewis

“Sight-seeing, aside from the fact that everything had been seen already, could not have for him--and intelligent Russian--the inexplicable importance attached to it by the English.”
Leo Tolstoy

“All names will soon be restored to their proper owners.”
C.S. Lewis

“In order to control myself I must first accept myself by going with and not against my nature.”
Bruce Lee

“The heart of man, though small, is big enough for Christ to live in, if man will only make room for Him.”
Billy Graham

“Be hungry for success, hungry to make your mark, hungry to be seen and to be heard and to have an effect. And as you move up and become successful, make sure also to be hungry for helping others.”
Arnold Schwarzenegger

“Make a decision and watch your life move forward.”
Oprah Winfrey

“A little rebellion now and then is a good thing.”
Thomas Jefferson

“Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.”
