General Quotes

“Gossip is passing on information when you are neither part of the problem nor part of the solution.”
Rick Warren

“I think love, both kinds of love, which you remember Plato defines in his "Symposium" - both kinds of love serve a touchstone for men. Some men understand only the one, some only the other. Those who understand only the non-platonic love need not speak of tragedy. For such love there can be no tragedy. "Thank you kindly for the pleasure, good bye," and that's the whole tragedy. And for the platonic love there can be no tragedy either, because there everything is clear and pure.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Like a good chess player, Satan is always trying to maneuver you into a position where you can save your castle only by losing your bishop.”
C.S. Lewis

“The story of the creation and similar things in it did not impress me very much, but on the contrary made me incline somewhat towards atheism.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“Europe I travelled third—and only once first, just to see what it was like—but there I noticed no such difference between the first and the third-classes. In South Africa third-class passengers are mostly Negroes, yet the third-class comforts are better there than here.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“Speaking one day to Monsieur de Buffon, on the present ardor of chemical inquiry, he affected to consider chemistry but as cookery, and to place the toils of the laboratory on the footing with those of the kitchen. I think it, on the contrary, among the most useful of sciences, and big with future discoveries for the utility and safety of the human race.”
Thomas Jefferson

“On Jesus' rock, my life abounds; all other floors are slippery grounds. His love for me, is mercy band; any other love is sinking sand.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“Peace is a process - a way of solving problems.”
John F. Kennedy

“Children must be taught obedience just as much as they need to be taught to read and write.”
Billy Graham

Napoleon Hill

“Attitude. That is your tendency to evaluate things based on your perception. If you think you can't, that is a negative attitude parcel and opening it will reveal what you believe”
Israelmore Ayivor

“I [am] obliged to recur ultimately to my habitual anodyne, "I feel: therefore I exist." I feel bodies which are not myself: there are other existencies then. I call them "matter". I feel them changing place. This gives me "motion". Where there is an absence of matter, I call it "void", or "nothing", or "immaterial space". On the basis of sensation, of matter and motion, we may erect the fabric of all the certainties we can have or need.” 
Thomas Jefferson

“Be hungry for success, hungry to make your mark, hungry to be seen and to be heard and to have an effect. And as you move up and become successful, make sure also to be hungry for helping others.”
Arnold Schwarzenegger

“Power is of two kinds. One is obtained by the fear of punishment and the other by acts of love. Power based on love is a thousand times more effective and permanent than the one derived from fear of punishment.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“The antagonism between life and conscience may be removed in two ways: by a change of life or by a change of conscience.”
Leo Tolstoy
