General Quotes

“Successful people focus their thinking on progress”
John C. Maxwell

“We need a backbone, not a wishbone.” 
Joyce Meyer

“There is a ripeness of time for death,  regarding others as well as ourselves, when it is reasonable we should drop off, and make room for  another growth. When we have lived our generation out, we should not wish to encroach on another.”
Thomas Jefferson

“There is only one desire in life which is good and the desire for the means to realise it is also good.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“To call woman the weaker sex is a libel; it is man's injustice to woman. If by strength is meant brute strength, then, indeed, is woman less brute than man. If by strength is meant moral power, then woman is immeasurably man's superior. Has she not greater intuition, is she not more self-sacrificing, has she not greater powers of endurance, has she not greater courage? Without her, man could not be. If nonviolence is the law of our being, the future is with woman. Who can make a more effective appeal to the heart than woman?"
Mahatma Gandhi

“To remain as I am is impossible; I must die or be better, it appears to me.”
Abraham Lincoln

“Work is the only thing that gives substance to life.”
Albert Einstein

“You could use the 80/20 rule. Give 80 percent of your effort to the top 20 percent (most important) activities. Another way is to focus on exceptional opportunities that promise a huge return. It comes down to this: give your attention to the areas that bear fruit.”
John C. Maxwell

“Effort within the mind further limits the mind, because effort implies struggle towards a goal and when you have a goal, a purpose, an end in view, you have placed a limit on the mind.”
Bruce Lee

“I saw that a man of truth must also be a man of care.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“The problem with popular thinking is that it doesn’t require you to think at all.” —Kevin Myers”
John C. Maxwell

“Leaders do not chase comfort; they pursue vision even if it comes with risks. Don’t give up too early because you see not early rewards.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“This is the fix we are in. If the universe is not governed by an absolute goodness, then all our efforts are in the long run hopeless. But if it is, then we are making ourselves enemies to that goodness every day, and are not in the least likely to do any better tomorrow, and so our case is hopeless again. We cannot do without it, and we cannot do with it. God is the only comfort, He is also the supreme terror: the thing we most need and the thing we most want to hide from. He is our only possible ally, and we have made ourselves His enemies. Some people talk as if meeting the gaze of absolute goodness would be fun. They need to think again. They are still only playing with religion.”
C.S. Lewis

“Never joined the wrong boat. When the destination is right, and the direction is wronged, everything goes wrongly!”
Israelmore Ayivor

“As the area of light expands, so does the perimeter of darkness.”
Albert Einstein
