General Quotes

“Supposing you hear a cry for help from a man in danger. You will probably feel two desires - one a desire to give help (due to your herd instinct), the other a desire to keep out of danger (due to the instinct for self-preservation). But you will find inside you, in addition to these two impulses, a third thing which tells you that you ought to follow the impulse to help, and suppress the impulse to run away. Now this thing that judges between two instincts, that decides which should be encouraged, cannot itself be either of them. You might as well say that the sheet of music which tells you, at a given moment, to play one note on the piano and not another, is itself one of the notes on the keyboard. The Moral Law tells us the tune we have to play: our instincts are merely the keys.”
C.S. Lewis

“Do not wait. The time will never be ‘just right’. Start where you stand, work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.”
Napoleon Hill

“The taxpayer: That’s someone who works for the federal government but doesn’t have to take the civil service examination.” 
Ronald Reagan

“They call it "business" because it does not become successful by a person's "idleness". Go get busy if you want to do business; but be busy for the right reasons!”
Israelmore Ayivor

“Well,' said Ransom, 'if it is a delusion, it's a pretty stubborn one.”
C.S. Lewis

“When the world says, “Give up,” Hope whispers, “Try it one more time.” —Unknown”
Joyce Meyer

“If everyone fought only for his own convictions, there would be no wars.”
Leo Tolstoy

“The home only fulfills its true purpose when it is God-controlled. Leave Jesus Christ out of your home and it loses its meaning. But take Christ into your heart and the life of your family, and He will transform your home.”
Billy Graham

“Knowing is not enough, we must apply. Willing is not enough, we must do.”
Bruce Lee

“You’ve got to be brave. You’ve got to be strong.” When you’re grieving, that’s not the time to be brave. That’s not the time to be strong. You need to be human.
Zig Ziglar

“For his mind was full of forlorn hopes, death-or-glory charges, and last stands.”
C.S. Lewis

“It is not only the viability and variety of the seed that makes the harvest look plumpy. Sometimes, the soil must value the value of the seed. When the soil is not supportive, the seed's value becomes a waste!”
Israelmore Ayivor

“Let's pray that the human race never escapes Earth to spread its iniquity elsewhere.”
C.S. Lewis

“I would like to suggest that you take responsibility for your joy and never again give anyone else the job of keeping you happy. You can control what you do, but you cannot control what other people do. So you may be unhappy a lot of the time if you depend on them as your source of joy. The psalmist David said that he encouraged himself in the Lord, and if he can do it, then we can do it too.”
Joyce Meyer

“When defeat comes, accept it as a signal that your plans are not sound, rebuild those plans, and set sail once more toward your coveted goal. If you give up before your goal has been reached, you are a “quitter.”
Napoleon Hill
