General Quotes

“Whatever is difficult can be done with regular attention and actions. Stay focused.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“Understand that you can’t achieve your dreams if you don’t connect with people who guide you to improve on upon the skills you have.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“I led the life of so many other so-called respectable people,—that is, in debauchery. And like the majority, while leading the life of a debauche, I was convinced that I was a man of irreproachable morality.”
Leo Tolstoy

“People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing. That's why we recommend it daily.”
Zig Ziglar

“Life meanwhile, the actual life of men with their real interests of health and sickness, labour and rest, with their interests of thought, science, poetry, music, love, affection, hatred, passion, went its way, as always, independently, apart from the political amity or enmity of Napoleon Bonaparte, and apart from all possible reforms.”
Leo Tolstoy

“A thought can advance your life in the right direction only when it answers questions which were asked by your soul. A thought which was first borrowed from someone else and then accepted by your mind and memory does not really much influence your life, and sometimes leads you in the wrong direction. Read less, study less, but think more. Learn, both from your teachers and from the books which you read, only those things which you really need and which you really want to know.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Historians are like deaf people who go on answering questions that no one has asked them.”
Leo Tolstoy

“He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“If conversion to Christianity makes no improvement in a man's outward actions – if he continues to be just a snobbish or spiteful or envious or ambitious as he was before – then I think we must suspect that his 'conversion' was largely imaginary; and after one's original conversion, every time one thinks one has made an advance, that is the test to apply. Fine feelings, new insights, greater interest in 'religion' mean nothing unless they make our actual behavior better; just as in an illness 'feeling better' is not much good if the thermometer shows that your temperature is still going up. In that sense the outer world is quite right to judge Christianity by its results. Christ told us to judge by results. A tree is known by its fruit; or, as we say, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. When we Christians behave badly, or fail to behave well, we are making Christianity unbelievable to the outside world. The war-time posters told us that Careless Talk costs Lives. It is equally true that Careless Lives cost Talk. Our careless lives set the outer world taking; and we give them grounds for talking in a way that throws doubt on the truth of Christianity itself.”
C.S. Lewis

“I am concerned about the things in my life that still need to change because I want them to change. But I know that change comes about by degrees as I go from glory to glory. Most people are so busy trying to move on to the next level of glory that they don't enjoy the level they are in at the moment
Joyce Meyer

“Complains are like the clouds that give no rain no matter how thick they gather.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“It is always better to imitate a successful man than to envy him.” 
Napoleon Hill

“President Abraham Lincoln said, “I don’t think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday.”
John C. Maxwell

“One of the ironies of human nature is that it often has a way of rejecting the best and accepting the worst.”
Billy Graham

“Men looked at their gods and their rituals and saw that both were filled with that most terrible of all equations: fear over ambition.”
Frank Herbert
