General Quotes

“If there is one thing I know, it is this, rich people are remarkably unremarkable.”
Brian Tracy

“no disease suffered by a live man can be known, for every living person has his own peculiarities and always has his own peculiar, personal, novel, complicated disease, unknown to medicine -- not a disease of the lungs, liver, skin, heart, nerves, and so on mentioned in medical books, but a disease consisting of one of the innumerable combinations of the maladies of those organs. This simple thought could not occur to the doctors (as it cannot occur to a wizard that he is unable to work his charms) because the business of their lives was to cure, and they received money for it and had spent the best years of their lives on that business. But above all that thought was kept out of their minds by the fact that they saw they were really useful [...] Their usefulness did not depend on making the patient swallow substances for the most part harmful (the harm was scarcely perceptible because they were given in small doses) but they were useful, necessary, and indispensable because they satisfied a mental need of the invalid and those who loved her -- and that is why there are, and always will be, pseudo-healers, wise women, homoeopaths, and allopaths. They satisfied that eternal human need for hope of relief, for sympathy, and that something should be done, which is felt by those who are suffering.”
Leo Tolstoy

“we shall match your capacity to inflict suffering by our capacity to endure suffering. We will meet your physical force with soul force. Do to us what you will. And we shall continue to love you.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“I often think how unfairly life's good fortune is sometimes distributed. ”
Leo Tolstoy

“It takes your knowing to decide on your going. If you know where you are going, you will keep going because you have already seen yourself gone”
Israelmore Ayivor

“Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.”
Abraham Lincoln

“The basis of our political systems is the right of the people to make and to alter their Constitutions of Government.”
George Washington

“I learned that what happened to me did not have to define who I was. My past could not control my future unless I allowed it to.”
Joyce Meyer

“I kept finding the same anguish, the same doubt; a self-contempt that neither irony nor intellect seemed able to deflect. Even DuBois’s learning and Baldwin’s love and Langston’s humor eventually succumbed to its corrosive force, each man finally forced to doubt art’s redemptive power, each man finally forced to withdraw, one to Africa, one to Europe, one deeper into the bowels of Harlem, but all of them in the same weary flight, all of them exhausted, bitter men, the devil at their heels.”
Barack Obama

“If our faith isn’t rooted in the Bible, it will wither like a plant pulled out of the soil.”
Billy Graham

“The heart of the matter is a matter of the heart.”
Rick Warren

“When the author walks onto the stage, the play is over”
C.S. Lewis

“It is one thing being disciplined to plan and it is another thing being a disciple of great work. Be your own disciplinarian.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“Bitterness is anger gone sour, an attitude of deep discontent that poisons our souls and destroys our peace.”
Billy Graham

“Fellow-citizens, we can not escape history. We of this Congress and this Administration will be remembered in spite of ourselves. No personal significance or insignificance can spare one or another of us. The fiery trial through which we pass will light us down in honor or dishonor to the latest generation.”
Abraham Lincoln
