“There are two aspects to the life of every man: the personal life, which is free in proportion as its interests are abstract, and the elemental life of the swarm, in which a man must inevitably follow the laws laid down for him. Consciously a man lives on his own account in freedom of will, but he serves as an unconscious instrument in bringing about the historical ends of humanity. An act he has once committed is irrevocable, and that act of his, coinciding in time with millions of acts of others, has an historical value. The higher a man's place in the social scale, the more connections has with others, and the more power he has over them, the more conspicuous is the inevitability and predestination of every act he commits. "The hearts of kings are in the hand of God." The king is the slave of history.”
Leo Tolstoy

“They’ve lost the initiative, which means they’ve lost the war.” Gurney”
Frank Herbert

Nelson Mandela

“Above all, don’t dwell on yesterday’s victory. If your focus is on what’s behind you rather than what’s ahead, you will crash.”
John C. Maxwell

“The best stories don't come from "good vs. bad" but "good vs. good.”
Leo Tolstoy

“There are no drive-thru breakthroughs. Breakthroughs take time.”
Joyce Meyer

“Every man is said to have his peculiar ambition... I have no other so great as that of being truely esteemed of my fellow men, by rendering myself worthy of their esteem.”
Abraham Lincoln

“Before you change your thinking, you have to change what goes into your mind
