General Quotes

“We have fought hard and long for integration, as I believe we should have, and I know that we will win. But I've come to believe we're integrating into a burning house. I'm afraid that America may be losing what moral vision she may have had …. And I'm afraid that even as we integrate, we are walking into a place that does not understand that this nation needs to be deeply concerned with the plight of the poor and disenfranchised. Until we commit ourselves to ensuring that the underclass is given justice and opportunity, we will continue to perpetuate the anger and violence that tears at the soul of this nation.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“Puddleglum is the name. It doesn't matter if you forget it, I can always tell you again.”
C.S. Lewis

“ As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.”
Nelson Mandela

“Passion has helped us; but can do so no more. It will in future be our enemy. Reason, cold, calculating, unimpassioned reason, must furnish all the materials for our future support and defence.”
Abraham Lincoln

“People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing – that’s why we recommend it daily.” 
Zig Ziglar

“...legitimate powers of government reach actions only, & not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should 'make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,' thus building a wall of separation between Church & State. Adhering to this expression of the supreme will of the nation in behalf of the rights of conscience, I shall see with sincere satisfaction the progress of those sentiments which tend to restore to man all his natural rights, convinced he has no natural right in opposition to his social duties.”
Thomas Jefferson

“Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.” 
Mother Teresa

“Are we not all flung into the world for no other purpose than to hate each other, and so to torture ourselves and one another?”
Leo Tolstoy

“Truth is by nature self-evident. As soon as you remove the cobwebs of ignorance that surround it, it shines clear.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“Instinctively we struck out for dignity first because personal degradation as an inferior human being was even more keenly felt than material privation.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“So that's what it is!" he suddenly exclaimed aloud. "What joy!”
Leo Tolstoy

“Most people who decide to grow personally find their first mentors in the pages of books.”
John C. Maxwell

“My own plans are made. While I can, I sail east in the Dawn Treader. When she fails me, I paddle east in my coracle. When she sinks, I shall swim east with my four paws. And when I can swim no longer, if I have not reached Aslan’s country, or shot over the edge of the world into some vast cataract, I shall sink with my nose to the sunrise.”
C.S. Lewis

“Thinking is hard work; that’s why so few do it.”
John C. Maxwell

“Almost certainly God is not in time. His life does not consist of moments one following another...Ten-thirty-- and every other moment from the beginning of the world--is always Present for Him. If you like to put it this way, He has all eternity in which to listen to the split second of prayer put up by a pilot as his plane crashes in flames.”
C.S. Lewis
