General Quotes

“We know that man has the faculty of becoming completely absorbed in a subject however trivial it may be, and that there is no subject so trivial that it will not grow to infinite proportions if one's entire attention is devoted to it.”
Leo Tolstoy

“And so there was no single cause for war, but it happened simply because it had to happen”
Leo Tolstoy

“I do not know why there is this difference, but I am sure that God keeps no one waiting unless He sees that it is good for him to wait. When you do enter your room, you will find that the long wait has done you some kind of good which you would not have had otherwise. But you must regard it as waiting, not as camping. You must keep on praying for light: and of course, even in the hall, you must begin trying to obey the rules which are common to the whole house. And above all you must be asking which door is the true one; not which pleases you best by its paint and paneling.”
C.S. Lewis

“We Bene Gesserit sift people to find the humans.”
Frank Herbert

“History, in general, only informs us what bad government is.” 
Thomas Jefferson

“I am almost inclined to set it up as a canon that a children's story which is enjoyed only by children is a bad children's story.”
C.S. Lewis

“Difficulties come when you don't pay attention to life's whisper. Life always whispers to you first, but if you ignore the whisper, sooner or later you'll get a scream”
Oprah Winfrey

“Adversity introduces a man to himself.”
Albert Einstein

“I laugh because I must not cry, that is all, that is all. ”
Abraham Lincoln

“El que piensa que dirige y no tiene a nadie siguiéndole, sólo está dando un paseo.”

Israelmore Ayivor

“No matter what challenge you may be facing, you must remember that while the canvas of your life is painted with daily experiences, behaviors, reactions, and emotions, you’re the one controlling the brush. If I had known this at 21, I could have saved myself a lot of heartache and self-doubt. It would have been a revelation to understand that we are all the artists of our own lives—and that we can use as many colors and brushstrokes as we like.”
Oprah Winfrey

“Become grounded in the Bible. As Christians, we have only one authority, one compass: the Word of God.”
Billy Graham

“Freedom cannot last long without education, because an uneducated populace is likely to be duped by tyrants. An educated populace cannot be easily manipulated and is the foundation of a strong society.”
Ben Carson

“When I was a fairly precocious young man I became thoroughly impressed with the futility of the hopes and strivings that chase most men restlessly through life. Moreover, I soon discovered the cruelty of that chase, which in those years was much more carefully covered up by hypocrisy and glittering words than is the case today. By the mere existence of his stomach everyone was condemned to participate in that chase. The stomach might well be satisfied by such participation, but not man insofar as he is a thinking and feeling being.”
Albert Einstein
