“I'll die on my feet before I'll live on my knees!”
George Washington

“You will never make a good impression on other people until you stop thinking about what sort of impression you are making. Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it... Give up yourself, and you will find your real self.”
C.S. Lewis

“I felt that it was not a historical work, but that, under the guise of physical warfare, it described the duel that perpetually went on in the hearts of mankind, and that physical warfare was brought in merely to make the description of the internal duel more alluring. This preliminary intuition became more confirmed on a closer study of religion and the Gita. A study of the Mahabharata gave it added confirmation. I do not regard the Mahabharata as a historical work in the accepted sense. The Adiparva contains powerful evidence in support of my opinion. By ascribing to the chief actors superhuman or subhuman origins, the great Vyasa made short work the history of kings and their peoples. The persons therein described may be historical, but the author of the Mahabharata has used them merely to drive home his religious theme.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“When you offer a negative thought of action, you open the negative memory-bank and you may lose all your power to persuade.”
Napoleon Hill

“Researchers have found that peer pressure exerted within a clique has caused every one of its members to experiment with drugs, to engage in murderous gang fights, to steal autos, and to violate the seventh commandment.”
Billy Graham

“The inquisition of public opinion overwhelms in practice the freedom asserted by the laws in theory.”
Thomas Jefferson

“Don't waste your time trying to win people over that can never be won over.”
Joel Osteen

“Power Thought: I will not give up. I will run my race with perseverance and finish with joy.”
Joyce Meyer

“I stopped three feet from gold, but I will never stop because men say ‘no’ when I ask them to buy insurance.”
Napoleon Hill

“When our minds are on Christ, Satan has little room to maneuver.”
Billy Graham

“If we have lost faith in our vernaculars, it is a sign of want of faith in ourselves; it is the surest sign of decay. And no scheme of self-government, however benevolently or generously it may be bestowed upon us, will ever make us a self-governing nation, if we have no respect for the languages our mothers speak.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“We need to internalize this idea of excellence. Not many folks spend a lot of time trying to be excellent.”
Barack Obama

“Do not swallow anything Satan is trying to ram down your throat. Jesus comes first.”
Joel Osteen

“An almost perfect relationship with his father was the earthly root of all his wisdom. From his own father, he said, he first learned that Fatherhood must be at the core of the universe. [speaking of George MacDonald]”
C.S. Lewis

“A new idea comes suddenly and in a rather intuitive way, but intuition is nothing but the outcome of earlier intellectual experience.”
Albert Einstein
