General Quotes

“Numerous are the academic chairs, but rare are wise and noble teachers. Numerous and large are the lecture halls, but far from numerous the young people who genuinely thirst for truth and justice. Numerous are the wares that nature produces by the dozen, but her choice products are few. We all know that, so why complain? Was it not always thus and will it not always thus remain? Certainly, and one must take what nature gives as one finds it. But there is also such a thing as a spirit of the times, an attitude of mind characteristic of a particular generation, which is passed on from individual to individual and gives its distinctive mark to a society. Each of us has to his little bit toward transforming this spirit of the times.” 
Albert Einstein

“The strength of your obstacle determines the weight of your potentials. The greater your potentials, the heavier your dunamis power must be.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“You can’t change where you started, but you can change the direction you are going. It’s not what you are going to do, but it’s what you are doing now that counts.”
John C. Maxwell

“There is no life as empty as the self-centered life. There is no life as centered as the self-empty life.”
John C. Maxwell

“Intellect takes us along in the battle of life to a certain limit, but at the crucial moment it fails us. Faith transcends reason. It is when the horizon is the darkest and human reason is beaten down to the ground that faith shines brightest and comes to our rescue.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“If everyone fought only for his own convictions, there would be no wars.”
Leo Tolstoy

“I've never been more hopeful about our future. I have never been more hopeful about America. And I ask you to sustain that hope. I'm not talking about blind optimism, the kind of hope that just ignores the enormity of the tasks ahead or the roadblocks that stand in our path. I'm not talking about the wishful idealism that allows us to just sit on the sidelines or shirk from a fight. I have always believed that hope is that stubborn thing inside us that insists, despite all the evidence to the contrary, that something better awaits us so long as we have the courage to keep reaching, to keep working, to keep fighting.”
Barack Obama

“The law enables us to see ourselves as morally dirty and in need of cleansing. But it also points us to the place of cleansing: the cross of Christ.”
Billy Graham

“It Doesn’t Matter Where You Came From. All That Matters Is Where You Are Going”
Brian Tracy

“It doesn’t matter what job you do or what position you obtain; you will have limits. That’s just the way life is.
John C. Maxwell

“You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.”
C.S. Lewis

“We all know that light travels faster than sound. That's why certain people appear bright until you hear them speak.”
Albert Einstein

“They are ALWAYS happy and don’t even have to make an effort to be this way. What is their secret? Why them and not me? I used to wonder. Some people are born with a temperament that makes it easy for them to look on the bright side, but even they have to make choices about their thoughts and attitudes toward life. Any person, no matter how naturally inclined they are toward good moods, can have sour, negative thoughts if they don’t choose differently. Your mind, mouth, moods, and attitudes are all intricately connected. First you think, and then your thoughts turn into words that you speak,
Joyce Meyer

“Forgiveness is giving up the hope that the past could have been any different.”
Oprah Winfrey

“Well, what is that to me? I can't see her!" she cried.”
Leo Tolstoy
