General Quotes

“Never stop learning to be who you are meant to be just because you have found someone and decided to be like him/her.”
― Israelmore Ayivor

“The God who gave us life gave us liberty at the same time; the hand of force may destroy but cannot disjoin them.”
― Thomas Jefferson

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.”
― C.S. Lewis

“Like sterling silver, love will tarnish unless it is polished with daily applications of interest, involvement, and expressions of love.”
― Zig Ziglar

“Ik raakte ervan overtuigd dat niet meewerken aan een slechte zaak net zo goed een morele verplichting inhoudt als meewerken aan iets goeds.”
― Martin Luther King Jr

“Inferiority intentions are sample chapters of defeated stories... Courageous beginnings are examples of true leadership values!”
― Israelmore Ayivor

“The bottom line in leadership isn't how far we advance ourselves but how far we advance others.”
― John C. Maxwell

“I understood, not with my intellect but with my whole being, that no theories of the rationality of existence or of progress could justify such an act; I realized that even if all the people in the world from the day of creation found this to be necessary according to whatever theory, I knew that it was not necessary and that it was wrong. Therefore, my judgments must be based-on what is right and necessary and not on what people say and do; I must judge not according to progress but according to my own heart.”
― Leo Tolstoy

“Don't shine so others can see you. Shine so that through you, others can see Him.”
― C.S. Lewis

“I strongly encourage you to be careful not to let anything become more important to you than it should be. Keep God first so He can bless you with other things you desire.”
― Joyce Meyer

“Being negative only makes a difficult journey more difficult. You may be given a cactus, but you don't have to sit on it.”
― Joyce Meyer

“Do things you’ve always wanted to do. You are the single most influence on your life.”
― Oprah Winfrey

“Many people, especially ignorant people, want to punish you for speaking the truth, for being correct, for being you. Never apologize for being correct, or for being years ahead of your time. If you’re right and you know it, speak your mind. Speak your mind. Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is still the truth.”
― Mahatma Gandhi

“Never, never marry, my friend. Here’s my advice to you: don’t marry until you can tell yourself that you’ve done all you could, and until you’ve stopped loving the woman you’ve chosen, until you see her clearly, otherwise you’ll be cruelly and irremediably mistaken. Marry when you’re old and good for nothing...Otherwise all that’s good and lofty in you will be lost.”
― Leo Tolstoy

“I fully agree with you about the significance and educational value of methodology as well as history and philosophy of science. So many people today - and even professional scientists - seem to me like somebody who has seen thousands of trees but has never seen a forest. A knowledge of the historic and philosophical background gives that kind of independence from prejudices of his generation from which most scientists are suffering. This independence created by philosophical insight is - in my opinion - the mark of distinction between a mere artisan or specialist and a real seeker after truth.
― Albert Einstein
