General Quotes

“Irresponsible leaders have a “me first” attitude and use their position for personal benefit.”
John C. Maxwell

“The more restricted a method, the lesser the opportunity for one's individual freedom of expression.”
Bruce Lee

“Too often that is our problem. We get ourselves into a mess and then try to get ourselves out by some miraculous method. Then we make another mess and try to do the same thing again. We go from one mess to another, never wanting to take responsibility for our own mistakes. What we need to do is to get some balance and start exercising self-discipline. We cannot walk in stupidity and spend our whole life ignoring the consequences. God has given us wisdom, and He expects us to use it
Joyce Meyer

“wisdom needs no violence...As it is we have played at war – that’s what’s vile! We play at magnanimity and all that stuff. Such magnanimity and sensibility are like the magnanimity and sensibility of a lady who faints when she sees a calf being killed: she is so kindhearted that she can’t look at blood, but enjoys eating the calf served up with sauce...If there was none of this magnanimity in war, we should go to war only when it was worth while going to certain death, as it is now. Then there would not be war because Paul Ivanovich had offended Michael Ivanovich.”
Leo Tolstoy

“The very act of accepting responsibility short-circuits and cancels out any negative emotions you may be experiencing.”
Brian Tracy

“WHY I should clutter up my mind with general knowledge, for the purpose of being able to answer questions, when I have men around me who can supply any knowledge I require?”
Napoleon Hill

“Brighten the corner where you are. You don’t blame God for placing you in a dark corner… You rather have to thank him for giving you the light to make it bright!”
Israelmore Ayivor

“Arbitrary power is most easily established on the ruins of liberty abused to licentiousness.”
George Washington

“He never chooses an opinion, he just wears whatever happens to be in style.”
Leo Tolstoy

“She had quoted a Bene Gesserit proverb to him: “When religion and politics travel in the same cart, the riders believe nothing can stand in their way. Their movement becomes headlong—faster and faster and faster. They put aside all thought of obstacles and forget that a precipice does not show itself to the man in a blind rush until it’s too late.” Paul”
Frank Herbert

“People often say motivation doesn’t last. Neither does bathing—that’s why we recommend it daily.”
Zig Ziglar

“Each of us is what we are because of the DOMINATING THOUGHTS which we permit to occupy our mind.
Napoleon Hill

“If he could smell the pre-spice mass, that meant the gasses deep under the sand were nearing explosive pressure.”
Frank Herbert

“He knew she was there by the rapture and the terror that seized on his heart. She was standing talking to a lady at the opposite end of the ground. There was apparently nothing striking either in her dress or her attitude. But for Levin she was as easy to find in that crowd as a rose among nettles. Everything was made bright by her. She was the smile that shed light on all round her. "Is it possible I can go over there on the ice, go up to her?" he thought. The place where she stood seemed to him a holy shrine, unapproachable, and there was one moment when he was almost retreating, so overwhelmed was he with terror. He had to make an effort to master himself, and to remind himself that people of all sorts were moving about her, and that he too might come there to skate. He walked down, for a long while avoiding looking at her as at the sun, but seeing her, as one does the sun, without looking.
Leo Tolstoy

“No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms”
Thomas Jefferson
