General Quotes

“When you understand that you will die to-morrow, if not to-day, and nothing will be left, then everything is so unimportant!... So one goes on living, amusing oneself with hunting, with work - anything so as not think of death”
Leo Tolstoy

“The path of self-realisation is the most difficult. -We acquire a sense of worth either by realising our talents, or by keeping busy, or by identifying ourselves with something apart from us - be it a cause, a leader, a group, possessions, and the like. Of the three, the path of self-realisation is the most difficult. It is taken when other avenues to a sense of worth are more or less blocked.”
Bruce Lee

“Peter did not feel very brave; indeed, he felt he was going to be sick. But that made no difference to what he had to do.”
C.S. Lewis

“It is unlikely that it was the intention of the founders to give any public official the ability to thwart the will of the people. Although they may have been concerned about mob rule and wanted a judicial system that would prevent that, they also recognized that in many other countries it was assumed that the ruling class always knew better than the people, and they wanted no part of such a system.”
Ben Carson

“You are what you think you are. Your self-concept determines your performance.”
Brian Tracy

“The starting point of all achievement is DESIRE. The finishing point is that brand of KNOWLEDGE which leads to understanding-understanding of self, understanding of others, understanding of the laws of Nature, recognition and understanding of HAPPINESS.”
Napoleon Hill

“El liderazgo es influencia, nada más y nada menos.”
John C. Maxwell

“We must condemn those who are perpetuating the violence, and not the individuals who engage in the pursuit of their constitutional rights.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“To accept a little death is worse than death itself.”
Frank Herbert

“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

“There are Christians who have never really learned the biblical truth of separation: separation from unclean thoughts and unclean habits.”
Billy Graham

“There lay between them, separating them, that same terrible line of the unknown and of fear, like the line separating the living from the dead.”
Leo Tolstoy

“was serene. Her Moscow troubles had become a memory to her.”
Leo Tolstoy

“This is a high-strung, neurotic, impatient age. We hurry when there is no reason to hurry, just to be hurrying. This fast-paced age has produced more problems and less morality than previous generations, and it has given us jangled nerves. Impatience as produced a crop of broken homes, ulcers, and has set the stage for more world wars.”
Billy Graham

“Where love is, there God is also.”
Mahatma Gandhi
