General Quotes

“History would be a wonderful thing – if it were only true.”
Leo Tolstoy

“The frustrating thing is that those who are attacking religion claim they are doing it in the name of tolerance, freedom and openmindedness. Question: Isn’t the real truth that they are intolerant of religion? They refuse to tolerate its importance in our lives.”
Ronald Reagan

“If you can't explain it to a six year old, you don't understand it yourself.”
Albert Einstein

“You cannot have the right to do what is wrong!”
Abraham Lincoln

“The education of the individual, in addition to promoting his own innate abilities, would attempt to develop in him a sense of responsibility for his fellow men in place of the glorification of power and success in our present society.”
Albert Einstein

“If the present Congress errs in too much talking, how can it be otherwise in a body to which the people send 150 lawyers, whose trade it is to question everything, yield nothing, & talk by the hour? That 150 lawyers should do business together ought not to be expected.”
Thomas Jefferson

“Display politeness and frankness always both in action and conversation. Don’t keep engaging in useless arguments. It scares your dreams away. Talk sensibly.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“The typical expression of opening Friendship would be something like, 'What? You too? I thought I was the only one!”
C.S. Lewis

“The fantastical idea of virtue and the public good being a sufficient security to the state against the commission of crimes...was never mine. It is only the sanguinary hue of our penal laws which I meant to object to. Punishments I know are necessary, and I would provide them strict and inflexible, but proportioned to the crime. Death might be inflicted for murder and perhaps for treason, [but I] would take out of the description of treason all crimes which are not such in their nature. Rape, buggery, etc., punish by castration. All other crimes by working on high roads, rivers, gallies, etc., a certain time proportioned to the offence... Laws thus proportionate and mild should never be dispensed with. Let mercy be the character of the lawgiver, but let the judge be a mere machine. The mercies of the law will be dispensed equally and impartially to every description of men; those of the judge or of the executive power will be the eccentric impulses of whimsical, capricious designing man.”
Thomas Jefferson

“A morsel of genuine history is a thing so rare as to be always valuable.”
Thomas Jefferson

“A poet stated it more succinctly when he wrote, “I hear and forget. I see and hear and I remember. However, when I see, hear and do, I understand and succeed.” Interestingly enough, you will discover that when you read this book a second time, you will get more thoughts and more ideas than you did the first time. This is especially true if you read a few minutes every day before you start your day’s activities and just before you go to sleep.”
Zig Ziglar

“The church should be setting the pace. The church should be taking its proper place of leadership in the nation . . .God help the church to wake up!”
Billy Graham

“Love is the only way to rescue humanity from all ills, and in it you too have the only method of saving your people from enslavement.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“leaders who are effective are leaders who are disciplined in their daily lives.”
John C. Maxwell

“The best is perhaps what we understand the least.”
C.S. Lewis
