General Quotes

“As I went through this period one night I picked up an article entitled "The Children of Vietnam," and I read it. And after reading that article, I said to myself, "Never again will I be silent on an issue that is destroying the soul of our nation and destroying thousands and thousands of little children in Vietnam." I came to the conclusion that there is an existential moment in your life when you must decide to speak for yourself; nobody else can speak for you.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“People who enroll themselves in the schools of pride, eventually graduate with and high degree of fall. Failure employs “prides” scholars. Get rusticated now!”
Israelmore Ayivor

“The student is half afraid to meet one of the great philosophers face to face. He feels himself inadequate and thinks he will not understand him. But if he only knew, the great man, just because of his greatness, is much more intelligible than his modern commentator. The simplest student will be able to understand, if not all, yet a very great deal of what Plato said; but hardly anyone can understand some modern books on Platonism.”
C.S. Lewis

“If I look at the mass I will never act.”
Mother Teresa

“She saw that they felt themselves alone in that crowded room. And Vronsky’s face, always so firm and independent, held that look that had struck her, of bewilderment and humble submissiveness, like the expression of an intelligent dog when it has done wrong. Anna smiled, and her smile was reflected by him. She grew thoughtful, and he became serious. Some supernatural force drew Kitty’s eyes to Anna’s face. She was enchanting in her simple black dress, enchanting were her round arms with their bracelets, enchanting was her firm neck with its thread of pearls, fascinating the straying curls of her loose hair, enchanting the graceful, light movements of her little feet and hands, enchanting was that lovely face in its animation, but there was something terrible and cruel about her charm.”
Leo Tolstoy

“The terrible sacrifice offered to Kali in the name of religion enhanced my desire to know Bengali”
Mahatma Gandhi

“No man is good enough to govern another man without the other's consent.”
Abraham Lincoln

“En lugar de compararse con otros, enfóquese en ser lo mejor que pueda ser.”

“We too are called to withdraw at certain intervals into deeper silence and aloneness with God, together as a community as well as personally; to be alone with Him — not with our books, thoughts, and memories but completely stripped of everything — to dwell lovingly in His presence, silent, empty, expectant, and motionless. We cannot find God in noise or agitation.”
Mother Teresa

“my parents’ ideals are good ones, and I support them to the highest. But my parents could only promote us to the levels to which they themselves had been exposed.”
T.D. Jakes

“Never be too angry beyond repairs. Anger is nothing good to be part of your tributes. Are you angry with someone? The sun is sinking, just drop it now.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“Do not crave to know the views of others, nor base your intent thereon. To think independently for yourself is a sign of fearlessness.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“There comes a time that every obstacle may stand against you; it takes your love to keep you on track with what you are passionate about pursuing.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success.
Napoleon Hill
