General Quotes

“Aslan: You doubt your value. Don't run from who you are.”
C.S. Lewis

“When I lay these questions before God I get no answer. But a rather special sort of 'No answer.' It is not the locked door. It is more like a silent, certainly not uncompassionate, gaze. As though He shook His head not in refusal but waiving the question. Like, 'Peace, child; you don't understand.”
C.S. Lewis

"Why, whatever loathsome thoughts can you have?" asked Dolly, smiling.
Leo Tolstoy

“Leadership is more than management. Leadership is: • People more than projects • Movement more than maintenance • Art more than science • Intuition more than formula • Vision more than procedure • Risk more than caution • Action more than reaction • Relationships more than rules • Who you are more than what you do If you want to influence others, then you must learn to lead.”
John C. Maxwell

“In the very first month of Indian Opinion, I realized that the sole aim of journalism should be service. The newspaper press is a great power, but just as an unchained torrent of water submerges whole countrysides and devastates crops, even so an uncontrolled pen serves but to destroy. If the control is from without, it proves more poisonous than want of control. It can be profitable only when exercised from within. If this line of reasoning is correct, how many of the journals in the world would stand the test? But who would stop those that are useless? And who should be the judge? The useful and the useless must, like good and evil generally, go on together, and man must make his choice.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“Music is the shorthand of emotion”
Leo Tolstoy

Mother Teresa

“Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. Point out to them how the nominal winner is often a real loser - in fees, expenses, and waste of time. As a peacemaker the lawyer has a superior opportunity of being a good man. There will still be business enough.”
Abraham Lincoln

“She was utterly unlike what she had been when he first saw her. Both morally and physically she had changed for the worse. [...] He looked at her as a man looks at a faded flower he has gathered, with difficulty recognizing in it the beauty for which he picked and ruined it.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Put your foot upon the neck of the fear of criticism by reaching a decision not to worry about what other people think, do, or say.”
Napoleon Hill

“Leaders are not born; I believe they are made.”
Joyce Meyer

“Learning from failure boosts a leader's chance of staying ahead of his standards. Leaders who rise quickly after falling are always stable.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“But live while you live, tomorrow you die...”
Leo Tolstoy
