General Quotes

“Only when it is dark enough, can you see the stars.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“The tendencies we have mentioned are something new for America. They arose when, under the influence of the two World Wars and the consequent concentration of all forces on a military goal, a predominantly military mentality developed, which with the almost sudden victory became even more accentuated. The characteristic feature of this mentality is that people place the importance of what Bertrand Russell so tellingly terms “naked power” far above all other factors which affect the relations between peoples. The Germans, misled by Bismarck’s successes in particular, underwent just such a transformation of their mentality—in consequence of which they were entirely ruined in less than a hundred years. I must frankly confess that the foreign policy of the United States since the termination of hostilities has reminded me, sometimes irresistibly, of the attitude of Germany under Kaiser Wilhelm II, and I know that, independent of me, this analogy has most painfully occurred to others as well. It is characteristic of the military mentality that non-human factors (atom bombs, strategic bases, weapons of all sorts, the possession of raw materials, etc.) are held essential, while the human being, his desires and thoughts—in short, the psychological factors—are considered as unimportant and secondary. Herein lies a certain resemblance to Marxism, at least insofar as its theoretical side alone is kept in view. The individual is degraded to a mere instrument; he becomes “human materiel.” The normal ends of human aspiration vanish with such a viewpoint. Instead, the military mentality raises “naked power” as a goal in itself—one of the strangest illusions to which men can succumb.”
Albert Einstein

“You would not have called to me unless I had been calling to you," said the Lion.”
C.S. Lewis

“The destiny of your own soul is in your own hands by the choice you make.”
Billy Graham

“When you realize that people treat you according to how they see themselves rather than how you really are, you are less likely to be affected by their behavior.”
John C. Maxwell

“We all need to realize that we're on a journey, and we are making progress.” 
Joyce Meyer

“If you judge people, you don't have time to love them.”
Mother Teresa

“God wants to use you as a divine show room, where the poor, the wearied and the depressed will find comfort and recreation! You got to be kind. It's a sign that you have conquered greed!”
Israelmore Ayivor

“For if we allow that human life is always guided by reason, we destroy the premise that life is possible at all.
Leo Tolstoy

“People who do not believe in themselves have trouble believing in others.”
John C. Maxwell

“The future is not a gift-it is an achievement.”
Albert Einstein

“most Americans think of Rosa Parks as a demur, pleasant-enough seamstress who backed into history by being too tired to get out of her seat on a bus one day, in reality she had been trained in nonviolence spirit and tactics at a famous institution, Highlander Folk School. It seems to be a difficult concept for most of us that peace is a skill that can be learned. We know war can be learned, but we seem to think that one becomes a peacemaker by a mere change of heart.
Mahatma Gandhi

“An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an invasion of ideas.”
John C. Maxwell

“A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good, and who are not accustomed to have it done to them; then work which one hopes may be of some use; then rest, nature, books, music, love for one's neighbor — such is my idea of happiness.
Leo Tolstoy

“Success occurs when opportunity meets preparation”
Zig Ziglar
