General Quotes

“Every man, knowing to the smallest detail all the complexity of the conditions surrounding him, involuntarily assumes that the complexity of these conditions and the difficulty of comprehending them are only his personal, accidental peculiarity, and never thinks that others are surrounded by the same complexity as he is.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration.”
Abraham Lincoln

“Affection is responsible for nine-tenths of whatever solid and durable happiness there is in our natural lives.”
C.S. Lewis

“Anger and bitterness—whatever the cause—only end up hurting us. Turn that anger over to Christ.”
Billy Graham

“In order to get to heaven, Jesus said that you must be converted. I didn’t say it—Jesus said it!”
Billy Graham

“That’s probably what had drawn me to Regina, the way she made me feel like I didn’t have to lie.”
Barack Obama

“Challenges are gifts that force us to search for a new center of gravity. Don't fight them. Just find a new way to stand.”
Oprah Winfrey

“There is no achievement without failure.”
John C. Maxwell

“Our voices, our service, and our abilities are to be employed, primarily, for the glory of God.”
Billy Graham

“Greed is an unreasonable or all-absorbing desire to acquire things or wealth. One test of greed is that it is never satisfied. Greed is repeatedly condemned in the Bible.”
Billy Graham

“There are two aspects to the life of every man: the personal life, which is free in proportion as its interests are abstract, and the elemental life of the swarm, in which a man must inevitably follow the laws laid down for him. Consciously a man lives on his own account in freedom of will, but he serves as an unconscious instrument in bringing about the historical ends of humanity. An act he has once committed is irrevocable, and that act of his, coinciding in time with millions of acts of others, has an historical value. The higher a man's place in the social scale, the more connections has with others, and the more power he has over them, the more conspicuous is the inevitability and predestination of every act he commits. "The hearts of kings are in the hand of God." The king is the slave of history.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Well!' said Puddleglum, rubbing his hands. 'This is just what I needed. If these chaps don't teach me to take a serious view of life, I don't know what will.”
C.S. Lewis

“Friendship exhibits a glorious "nearness by resemblance" to Heaven itself where the very multitude of the blessed (which no man can number) increases the fruition which each has of God. For every soul, seeing Him in her own way, doubtless communicates that unique vision to all the rest. That, says an old author, is why the Seraphim in Isaiah's vision are crying "Holy, Holy, Holy" to one another (Isaiah VI, 3). The more we thus share the Heavenly Bread between us, the more we shall all have.”
C.S. Lewis

“Good ideas must be shared, improved upon with the help of other good thinkers, and then they must be implemented and acted upon.”
John C. Maxwell

“Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.”
Martin Luther King Jr
