General Quotes

“We use a most unfortunate idiom when we say, of a lustful man prowling the streets, that he "wants a woman". Strictly speaking, a woman is just what he does not want. He wants a pleasure for which a woman happens to be the necessary piece of apparatus. How much he cares about the woman as such may be gauged by his attitude for her five minutes after fruition.”
C.S. Lewis

“I think...if so many men, so many minds, certainly so many hearts, so many kinds of love.”
Leo Tolstoy

“How good is it to remember one's insignificance: that of a man among billions of men, of an animal amid billions of animals; and one's abode, the earth, a little grain of sand in comparison with Sirius and others, and one's life span in comparison with billions on billions of ages. There is only one significance, you are a worker. The assignment is inscribed in your reason and heart and expressed clearly and comprehensibly by the best among the beings similar to you. The reward for doing the assignment is immediately within you. But what the significance of the assignment is or of its completion, that you are not given to know, nor do you need to know it. It is good enough as it is. What else could you desire?”
Leo Tolstoy

“Delay is preferable to error.”
Thomas Jefferson

“What the mind can conceive, it can ACHIEVE!”
Napoleon Hill

“Every disability conceals a vocation, if only we can find it, which will 'turn the necessity to glorious gain.”
C.S. Lewis

“Doing for people what they can, and ought to do for themselves, is a dangerous experiment,” the great labor leader Samuel Gompers said. “In the last analysis, the welfare of the workers depends on their own initiative.” The classic “liberal” believed individuals should be masters of their own destiny and the least government is the best government; these are precepts of freedom and self-reliance that are at the root of the American way and the American spirit.” 
Ronald Reagan

“It is music and dancing that make me at peace with the world.”
Nelson Mandela

“To enter heaven is to become more human than you ever succeeded in being on earth; to enter hell, is to be banished from humanity.”
C.S. Lewis

“Leadership is the ability to elicit extraordinary performance from ordinary people.”
Brian Tracy

“Intellectual death is endemic in areas where people are unprepared to obtain new information for development. Learning is a way of staying alive.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“As you become more clear about who you really are, you'll be better able to decide what is best for you - the first time around.”
Oprah Winfrey

“un líder es como un pastor que permanece detrás del rebaño y permite que los más ágiles vayan por delante, tras lo cual, los demás les siguen sin darse cuenta de que en todo momento están siendo dirigidos desde detrás.”
Nelson Mandela

“When the headlines get black and foreboding, the sale of alcohol and barbiturates rises in the country, as millions try to escape from the grim realities of [such] dangers.”
Billy Graham

“Speaking one day to Monsieur de Buffon, on the present ardor of chemical inquiry, he affected to consider chemistry but as cookery, and to place the toils of the laboratory on the footing with those of the kitchen. I think it, on the contrary, among the most useful of sciences, and big with future discoveries for the utility and safety of the human race.”
Thomas Jefferson
