General Quotes

“When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on.”
Abraham Lincoln

“I always knew that deep down in every human heart, there is mercy and generosity. No one is born hating another person because of the color of his kin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than the opposite.”
Nelson Mandela

“Leaders are effective because of who they are on the inside—in the qualities that make them up as people. And to go to the highest level of leadership, people have to develop these traits from the inside out.”
John C. Maxwell

Leo Tolstoy

Nelson Mandela

Up to man's age-old dream -- the maximum of individual freedom consistent with order --or down to the ant heap of totalitarianism. Regardless of their sincerity, their humanitarian motives, those who would sacrifice freedom for security have embarked on this downward path.”
Ronald Reagan

“He went down trying not to look long at her, as though she were the sun, but he saw her, as one sees the sun, without looking.”
