General Quotes

“I shall not die without a hope that light and liberty are on a steady advance. Even should the cloud of barbarism and despotism again obscure the science and liberties of Europe, this country remains to preserve and restore light and liberty to them. In, short, the flames kindled on the 4th of July, 1776, have spread over too much of the globe to be extinguished by the feeble engines of despotism; on the contrary, they will consume these and all who work for them.”
Thomas Jefferson

“Whenever men and women straighten their backs up, they are going somewhere, because a man can't ride your back unless it is bent”

Martin Luther King Jr

“This Duke was concerned more over the men than he was over the spice. He risked his own life and that of his son to save the men. He passed off the loss of a spice crawler with a gesture. The threat to men’s lives had him in a rage. A leader such as that would command fanatic loyalty. He would be difficult to defeat. Against his own will and all previous judgments, Kynes admitted to himself: I like this Duke.”
Frank Herbert

“All that we call human history--money, poverty, ambition, war, prostitution, classes, empires, slavery--[is] the long terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy.”
C.S. Lewis

“Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.  Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.”
Bruce Lee

“Don’t give up; try again. Be still and work it out till your good becomes the best! Dream high above the sky!”
Israelmore Ayivor

“The most mentally deranged people are certainly those who see in others indications of insanity they do not notice in themselves.”
Leo Tolstoy

“The facts about our past are powerless against the blood of Jesus and the Truth of His Word.”
Joyce Meyer

“Indecision is the reluctance or inability to pass a judgment on an issue under consideration. Indecision means you have come to crossroads and you cannot make your mind.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“Irresponsible leaders have a “me first” attitude and use their position for personal benefit.”
John C. Maxwell

“Una de las mayores debilidades de la humanidad es la familiaridad del hombre promedio con la palabra “imposible”.
Napoleon Hill

“He does not despise real woods because he has read of enchanted woods; the reading makes all real woods a little enchanted.”
C.S. Lewis

“Man is to be understood only in his relation to God.”
C.S. Lewis

“Too often we get caught up in our own words concerning prayer. Sometimes we try to pray so long, loud, and fancy that we lose sight of the fact that prayer is our conversation with God. The length or loudness or eloquence of our prayer is not the issue; it is the sincerity of our heart and the confidence we have that God hears and will answer us that is important.”
Joyce Meyer

“There are several specific things that the church can do. First, it should try to get to the ideational roots of race hate, something that the law cannot accomplish. All race prejudice is based upon fears, suspicions, and misunderstandings, usually groundless. The church can be of immeasurable help in giving the popular mind direction here. Through its channels of religious education, the church can point out the irrationality of these beliefs. It can show that the idea of a superior or inferior race is a myth that has been completely refuted by anthropological evidence. It can show that Negroes are not innately inferior in academic, health, and moral standards. It can show that, when given equal opportunities, Negroes can demonstrate equal achievement.”
Martin Luther King Jr
