General Quotes

“De werkelijkheid is louter illusie, maar wel een hardnekkige.”
Albert Einstein

“Maud’Dib could indeed, see the Future, but you must understand the limits of this power. Think of sight. You have eyes, yet cannot see without light. If you are on the floor of a valley, you cannot see beyond the valley. Just so, Maud’Dib could not always choose to look across the mysterious terrain. He tells us that a single obscure decision of prophecy, perhaps the choice of one word over another, could change the entire aspect of the future. He tells us “The vision of time is broad, but when you pass through it, time becomes a narrow door.” And always, he fought the temptation to choose a clear, safe course, warning “That path leads ever down into stagnation.”
Frank Herbert

“Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. And it will leave you unfulfilled.”
Barack Obama

“Paul sat down where Hawat had been, straightened the papers. One more day here, he thought. He looked around the room. We’re leaving. The idea of departure was suddenly more real to him than it had ever been before. He recalled another thing the old woman had said about a world being the sum of many things—the people, the dirt, the growing things, the moons, the tides, the suns—the unknown sum called nature, a vague summation without any sense of the now. And he wondered: What is the now?” 
Frank Herbert

“God is never in a hurry, but he is always on time.”
Rick Warren

“You have many gifts; some will help you to connect the right people while others help you to get to the right places. But it takes your dominant gifts for you to be able to take the lead!”
Israelmore Ayivor

“Although we had no hope of defeating the enemy in the battlefield, nevertheless, we fought back to keep the idea of liberation alive. From a conversation with Richard Stengel, January 13, 1993”
Nelson Mandela

“You can’t stop people from thinking—but you can start them.”
John C. Maxwell

“I don't think the intelligence reports are all that hot. Some days I get more out of the New York Times.”
John F. Kennedy

“The man who does more than he is paid for will soon be paid for more than he does.”
Napoleon Hill

“When life gets tough, when you’re overwhelmed with doubt, or when you wonder if living for Christ is worth the effort, remember that you are not home yet. At death you won’t leave home — you’ll go home.”
Rick Warren

“There is no elevator to success, you have to take the stairs”
Zig Ziglar

“To be free is to not merely cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.”
Nelson Mandela

“He felt that he could not turn aside from himself the hatred of men, because that hatred did not come from his being bad (in that case he could have tried to be better), but from his being shamefully and repulsively unhappy. He knew that for this, for the very fact that his heart was torn with grief, they would be merciless to him. He felt that men would crush him as dogs strangle a torn dog yelping with pain. He knew that his sole means of security against people was to hide his wounds from them”
Leo Tolstoy

“sometimes you win, sometimes you learn”
John C. Maxwell
