General Quotes

“The arbitrary and meaningless tests to decide black from Coloured or Coloured from white often resulted in tragic cases where members of the same family were classified differently, all depending on whether one child had a lighter or darker complexion. Where one was allowed to live and work could rest on such absurd distinctions as the curl of one’s hair or the size of one’s lips.”
Nelson Mandela

“Only when we try to understand one another's suffering can we begin to bring each other joy.”
Jim Stovall

“There is nothing wrong about having feelings, as long as you do what is right.”
Joyce Meyer

“The Bible says, “We are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works.”1 Our English word poem comes from the Greek word translated “workmanship.” You are God’s handcrafted work of art. You are not an assembly-line product, mass produced without thought. You are a custom-designed, one-of-a-kind, original masterpiece.”
Rick Warren

“To injure, ignore, disrespect, and violate the innocence of a child are among the greatest evils known to man.”
Billy Graham

“Leaders learn more from blames than praises. Praises make them know what’s already done well; blames show them what’s yet to be done well.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“Love to be real, it must cost—it must hurt—it must empty us of self.”
Mother Teresa

“Opportunity often comes disguised in the form of misfortune, or temporary defeat.”
Napoleon Hill

“Provided that any of those neighbours sing out of tune or have boots that squeak, or double chins, or odd clothes, the patient will quite easily believe that their religion must therefore be somehow ridiculous.”
C.S. Lewis

“I have often thought that if heaven had given me choice of my position and calling, it should have been on a rich spot of earth, well watered, and near a good market for the productions of the garden. No occupation is so delightful to me as the culture of the earth, and no lucture comparable to that of the garden. Sucha a variety of subjeccts, some one always coming to perfection, the failure of one thing repaired by the succes of another, and instead of one harvest a continued one through the year. Under a total want of demand except for our family table, I am still devoted to the garden.”
Thomas Jefferson

“Success is one thing you can’t pay for. You buy it on the installment plan and make payments every day.
Zig Ziglar

“And what was worst of all was that *It* drew his attention to itself not in order to make him take some action but only that he should look at *It*, look it straight in the face: look at it and without doing anything, suffer inexpressibly. And to save himself from this condition Ivan Ilych looked for consolations -- new screens -- and new screens were found and for a while seemed to save him, but then they immediately fell to pieces or rather became transparent, as if *It* penetrated them and nothing could veil *It*.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Her absence is like the sky, spread over everything. But no, that is not quite accurate. There is one place where her absence comes locally home to me, and it is a place I can't avoid. I mean my own body. It had such a different importance while it was the body of H.'s lover. Now it's like an empty house.”
C.S. Lewis

“It seems that only God can know the truth; it is to Him alone we must appeal, and from Him alone expect mercy.”
Leo Tolstoy

“«El secreto de salir adelante es empezar. El secreto de empezar es desglosar las tareas complejas y abrumadoras en tareas pequeñas y fáciles de manejar, y luego empezar por la primera».”
John C. Maxwell
