General Quotes

“Opportunity is often missed because it comes dressed in overalls and looks like work.”

“When your life is not in order, you feel discomfort.”
T.D. Jakes

“Anna Arkadyevna read and understood, but it was distasteful to her to read, that is, to follow the reflection of other people’s lives. She had too great a desire to live herself. If she read that the heroine of the novel was nursing a sick man, she longed to move with noiseless steps about the room of a sick man; if she read of a member of Parliament making a speech, she longed to be delivering the speech; if she read of how Lady Mary had ridden after the hounds, and had provoked her sister-in-law, and had surprised everyone by her boldness, she too wished to be doing the same. But there was no chance of doing anything; and twisting the smooth paper knife in her little hands, she forced herself to read.”
Leo Tolstoy

“It is only when you realize your nothingness, your emptiness, that God can fill you with Himself.”
Mother Teresa

“Your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other”
Abraham Lincoln

“Sometime we get so addicted to murmuring about the past and blaming the past for everything that we miss our whole future. You're not going to enjoy your future, and you're not going to enjoy your right now, if all you can do is be guilty and ashamed and afraid of your past.”
Joyce Meyer

“The future depends on what we do in the present.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“We know that man has the faculty of becoming completely absorbed in a subject however trivial it may be, and that there is no subject so trivial that it will not grow to infinite proportions if one's entire attention is devoted to it.”
Leo Tolstoy

“To do much clear thinking a person must arrange for regular periods of solitude when they can concentrate and indulge the imagination without distraction.”

“And most important, listen.”
John C. Maxwell

“History, by apprising [the people] of the past, will enable them to judge of the future.” 
Thomas Jefferson

Mother Teresa
